Are you a dirty minger?

Now first thing's first, I don't read the sun, but sometimes an article in a feed is too juicy to pass up.

This one in particular: https://www-thesun-co-uk.cdn.amppro...washing-showering/amp/?amp_js_v=0.1#webview=1

I found a lot of the quotes quite minging to be honest. And whilst this article focuses on women, the same also applies to men I suppose given how some people smell on public transport and in the workplace. How can people be so busy that they decide that washing themselves and/or changing underwear is too much of a chore?!

‘I shower twice a week’
Clare Macnaugton, 46, is a marketing consultant from Salisbury, Wilts

She says: “Cleaning often doesn’t seem worth it.

That's just grim, Clare.

This has actually reminded me when I read the Horrible Histories books as a kid, reading how Queen Lizzy I used to be bathed once a month.

Can you imagine how anyone from the 21st century (maybe not the people featured in the OP article of course) would feel if they were sent back to the 16th?

I work from home and shower everyday without fail. It takes 4mins, suppose it helps I'm bald so no shampooing etc needed.

Plus I enjoy this on my ballsack and bell. It's like sex, without sex....

Ah yes, in college someone recommended this. Burning gonads are not a nice feeling

you ain't pro-level toilet-ocd unless you bring your own doorstop to hold the door until you're finished.

But then your own doorstop will have to be placed on the surface that no doubt has had a thousand different people splash wee/poo all over.

Even at work once I walked into the loo for a / only to be greeted by what looked like someone smearing Mr Hanky the Christmas Poo all over the floor with their feet

Hear, hear.

I shower when I start to smell. That can be 2-3 times a week, but seldom more.

Today's "must shower 2-3 times a day" mentality is too far towards the "OCD clean" end of the spectrum (with Victorian era "bath once a week" at the other extreme).

It's actually not good for your skin to be continually washing it.

But then it's also not good for your hair to be continually shampooing it, either, but again modern society dictates you must shampoo your hair every day.

We've just gone from one extreme to the other.

Seriously, showering twice a day is waaaay over the top.

Found the dirty minger!

If your skin gets dry then apply moisturiser. It exists for this very reason. or are you too manly for such un-manly things?

I shampoo my hair every day during a shower and this has been the case for as long as I can remember. My hair is thick and extremely high quality and grows back to its pre-barbershop length every 4-5 weeks. My barber says it's superb and secretly I think she mops it up and sells it to some wig based black market.

Posting from the shower right now after a busy day at work out and about.

What a time to be alive?
