Iโ€™m curious, does anybody else sit down in the shower. (Thatโ€™s right not a typo. Sitters, not shitters)

This started for me when I was younger, usually when I was nursing a gnarly hangover. The warm water beating down on me was a solace and sitting just made it feel all the more comforting. Though Iโ€™m sure itโ€™s not the most hygienic.

Over the years, it's evolved into a ritual, now my preferred way to unwind and relax. So much so, Iโ€™m building a concrete bench seat in the shower, with a custom shower head above it, as part of our bathroom renovations. (Similar to the pic)

I'm curious if anyone else has a similar routine. Do you find it therapeutic too? Any particular reason why you started?

Who is Alex Goldman? I tried googling. Nothing stuck out.

He used to host an awesome podcast called Reply All. See https://gimletmedia.com/amp/shows/reply-all/gmhr36.

ALEX GOLDMAN: Sitting in the shower is the best thing in the world. PJ: You just sit down in the shower? ALEX GOLDMAN: Yeah, criss cross applesauce. ALEX BLUMBERG & PJ: (laughing)

This is so wild. A few hours ago, based on past feedback, I seriously thought I was the only one.
