The post on Reddit going viral
The original author (OP) described herself as a “woman with long, thick hair” who was in the middle of a “full body shower” that included “washing, conditioning hair, shaving, washing body, face,” she said her partner “lost his sh– because of the amount of time I spent in the shower.”
“My partner said they were running the sink for as long as I was in the shower and asked if I noticed how much water was wasted then,” the woman recalled. “I asked how I’d be able to hear that run while I was in the shower.” To which her boyfriend replied, “Exactly.” She timed her shower based on the length of her playlist, which turned out to be 26 minutes.
“I take this length of shower once every 3-4 days,” she explained the issue . “I don’t shower every day (because I work from home), but if I do – I’m under 10 minutes with body washed and hair shampooed for a regular wash.”
Readers response to her post
When readers were asked if ‘she’s the a—hole’ for taking as long as 26 minutes for a full body shower, this is how they responded; “NTA [Not the a——]. He thinks you’re the AH for wasting water but he kept the water running for the entire time? Worst. Water. Policing. Ever,” one person said. Another commented, “NTA. I have never timed my partner’s personal hygiene time. I have also not run water in a sink or flushed a toilet while my partner was in the shower. I could be wrong but responsible, mature adults don’t do that to each other.
Many have questioned the extent of their relationship, with some saying, “NTA, not if you have long hair. But the issue is not the length of your shower. Your partner is not your owner and you are not his slave. You are equal partners. It’s up to you to decide for yourself how long your shower lasts.”
