What do people who spend more than 20 minutes in the shower actually do in there? – 17 people come clean

Few things feel better than a nice shower, especially at this time of year when the hot water is a delightful escape from the world.

However some people appear to take their love of showers to ridiculous lengths. Rather than a quick 10-minute clean, they can spend at least twice as long scrubbing themselves silly. This prompted saadaintsalad to put the following question to r/AskReddit:
