I have no particularly interesting shower stories, but in Ukraine my parents' shower is heated by gas, so you have to go in the kitchen with a match before taking a hot shower.
I sometimes take a shower after finishing a bath, because of that soap scummy feeling Susan mentioned.
I cultured bathwater in lab once. Ickiness abounded.
Silly people using soap in a bathtub! Why do you think god invented bubble baths?

I could tell why I never use bubble bath, but I'd be shading into TMI country....

No need. Mr Bubble was the bain of my childhood. But that's not been a problem since I ditched the crap bubble bath products.
I don't like baths. I never could have bubble baths when I was a kid either. I like showers, they are more relaxing than baths, plus by the time the tub fills up I'm bored with the idea of a bath.
Plus baths remind one of the unfortunate aspects of entropy as they quickly end up room temperature.
In fact I sometimes have a shower before I get into the bath, if I'm feeling especially grubby.
I think the japanese always wash before using the soaking tub.
Our master bathroom doesn't have a tub. this makes me sad. Now I have to take my mondo baths in the children's bathroom.
I always shower before or after a bath, and leave the hot water trickling in. I can beat entropy, dammit.
I do a quick rinse, then have my first, soapy hairwashing bubbley bath.
I drain about half the water, and rinse my hair under the tap as the new, warm water rushes in.
Then, after a nice soak (with occasional warm-ups), I set my book down, use my foot to turn on the shower, and drain the tub while the hot water rushes over me.
