In my shower, the water flows at me, more or less -- it's not that high above my head. What do you mean by "all the way back"? Behind the water?
Jinx? If you and Dreg have been using my moisturizer again I'm going to have to rip off your scaly- hey, what's the deal with your face?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thrive to spite them
I stand in the shower with my back to the shower head. I've been told this is weird and even got asked why I do that instead of standing facing the water. I'm not really sure but facing the water just seems weird to me.

Compassionately intolerant
I stand in the shower with my back to the shower head.
That's weird?
I _never_ stand facing the water.
Huh.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Jesse,
so what I mean is that I stand away from the shower head so that most of the time, the water hits my legs or feet. I step in and step out as needed.

Ah -- that sounds like all the way forward to me! Because, llike askye, I mostly face away from the water. How do you rinse your hair facing the water??

Because books.

I do this, too. I stand so it's hitting my back and I don't get cold.

I am like you, le n. I usually shave in the shower and def move out of the way of the showerhead for that.

The status is NOT quo.
I always stand facing away from the shower head, but this has a lot to do with being 5' tall, I think. I might drown otherwise.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I miss my friends from college or Kansas or wherever, but I have never had to miss you.
This, exactly.
Ooh, a new subject to compare experiences! My shower head is just above my head, and my water pressure is good. I stand so it hits me in the chest or the upper back, depending on which way I've turned. I like to be "covered" in the water but I don't like it hitting my face unless I'm deliberately getting water in my face, like to rinse, if you see what I mean.
When I was a little kid, I'd have panic attacks if water got near my face. (My first shower - as opposed to bath - was when I was seven, in my big sister's fancy new apartment. I screamed and fought like they were trying to drown me. It was epic.) Even now, if I'm walking in the rain I have to shield my face so the raindrops don't get in my eyes. I think I must have drowned in a previous life or something.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
For me, "all of that water hitting me the whole time" is the major appeal of a shower. When time allows, I like to zone out, just stand there with the full force of the flow pounding on the back of my neck.
