We used to start morning meetings with an icebreaker question at my old job. A friend had just watched “You’re the Worst” and was inspired to say, “raise your hand if you don’t wash your legs in the shower.”

About half of us raised our hands. The non-washers insisted that gravity caused the soap to wash your legs and feet. We leg washers were not convinced, and a little grossed out, but we were all really surprised to learn the other side of the argument.

"Used to start meetings with icebreakers"

Did they stop after the leg washing question or was it something even more controversial?

[–] disguy_ovahea 29 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Usually they were pretty innocuous. Smooth or crunchy peanut butter, is a hot dog a sandwich, is cheesecake a pie, Marvel or DC, Star Wars or Star Trek, The Stones or The Beatles, etc.

[–] Alexstarfire 11 points 1 month ago (6 children)

Who says cheesecake isn't a pie? It sure as hell isn't cake.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, cheesecake is cake in exactly the same way that ice cream cake is cake, in that it isn’t at all even slightly close to being cake.

[–] Alexstarfire 8 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Real ice cream cake actually has at least one layer of cake in it. Not the stupid ice cream cakes that's just ice cream shaped like a cake. That's just an imposter.

I dunno I think I’ve had cheesecake in a crust only once before but I’ve seen it in cakes a lot. Saying it’s a pie sounds outlandish to me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It sure as hell isn't pie either.

[–] Alexstarfire 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It's not, but if I've got to pick one...

Which I now realize I didn't have to.

"Should Nazis be allowed to run the government?" - surprisingly controversial recently, and a definitive end to the meeting, if not the whole practice.

Some people may enjoy getting head from communist Pac-Man.

Who also had a fetish for armpits

Up here, in Wyoming, it gets so cold and dry that if you don't scrub the dead skin off your legs regularly, your skin will crack. It can get very painful.

[–] FooBarrington 28 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Maybe try living in a place that doesn't require regular skin sacrifices?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

That has nothing to do with dry skin on your legs.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'm just wearing pants all day, how dirty can my leg possibly get?

[–] Crazyslinkz 16 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Showering is to remove dead skin cells, as well.

[–] TotalFat 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I prefer to let them rest where they fell in battle as a warning to any who would oppose my rule!

I find that the shower is the most convenient place to wash my legs.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Followed very unclosely by the bidet.

If this is bro saying he doesn’t wash his ass, or his worry is because he knows his ass is stanky, then I have no idea how she’s put up with him this long.

[–] RedditWanderer 47 points 1 month ago (9 children)

I remember in the olden days of reddit where there was this huge thread where many people didnt wash their ass because it was "gay" or gross. I think it started with a thread about someone telling men to also wash their balls because they stink too.

Water is a terrible lubricant too, I dont recommend for seggsy time.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

My old wrestling coach once felt he had to remind us to "wash behind the balls."

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

You gotta get your gooch!!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Cleanse the taint, as it were

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Gotta get some silicone lube for shower sexy time

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I don't think there ever was a threat where men said that. It was someone on Twitter going "apparently men don't wash their ass because it's gay" and it spiraled from that iirc.

it always starts with "be a dear and wash your ass," then it moves on to "i need you to drive me to the hospital," and "stop fucking my sister"

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There are worse things in life than having your ass washed by someone who loves you. Bonus points for the reach around handy.

[–] DragonsInARoom 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

One of yous is gonna be cold with the other gets the shower water

[–] chonglibloodsport 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is the real reason to be scared. She’s gonna hog that hot water and he’s gonna freeze! Showering together seems so sexy and romantic in the movies but it’s actually just really awkward and uncomfortable!

Maybe it’s better if you got some kind of rich person giant luxury shower! Wait, of course it’s better!

[–] Psaldorn 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The actual real threat is the temperature of the water.

If there was a "guaranteed to mutilate, superheated water vapor" option some women I've known would choose it.

[–] chonglibloodsport 10 points 1 month ago

They’re basically showering under the steam wand of a giant espresso machine!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

That's not the problem because you can just cuddle to warm up. The problem is when one of yous likes the water hotter than the other.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

If she wanted to wash your ass, she would have asked you to step outside and hosed you down with a garden hose with your clothes still on.

[–] DicJacobus 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I really wanted to post a picture from the trashy rapper album K-Flex "Wash yo ass" but im on a work network right now...
