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.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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??

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.

TOTALLY.
