Do you blow your nose in the shower?

After finding out that the majority of the people here <a href="http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=106026">pee in the shower</a>, I thought it'd be interesting to find out what else people don't bother getting out of the tub to do.

Back in college, I had a roommate that I would occasionally hear blowing his nose in the shower. I was just curious to find out if this is as "normal" as peeing in the shower.

I personally never blow my nose in the shower on purpose. There have been a few times when I've been sick and did it, but there wasn't really another option.

I do in the winter. Our house gets very dry and when I sleep, my nose clogs and then I can't breathe (though this year I started using Breathe Right strips and they helped). When I get in the shower, the humidity loosens it all...

It isn't like I don't make a point of washing it down the drain... there are worse things that have been deposited showers.

Well, of course. I always get water up my nose at some point. Yes, I do realize I am extremely uncoordinated. But the humidity of the shower makes it run, too. I then proceed to wash my hands with soap. And I don't stick boogies on the shower wall or anything, so I figure I'm not too gross.

Yes. Sometimes I use a <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=%22neti+pot%22" target=_blank>Neti pot</a> in the shower which sort of makes it a requirement.

I think there's only one bodily function I don't do in the shower. Anything that can get washed down the drain, gets taken care of in the shower. I'm sure as heck not getting out of the shower to pee or blow my nose. I don't brush my teeth in the shower, but that's only because I have an electric toothbrush, and don't want the base in the shower (water + electricity = bad).

My dad always blows his nose in the shower. It's quite loud and disgusting. In fact, when I was a little girl, that was my cue to roll out of bed.

So no, I don't blow my nose in the shower.

Word.

I HAVE pooped in the bathtub while I was taking a bath, but mind you I was five.

I still remember it well. It just came out without warning, and I remember being horrified of it and treating them as if they were sharks.

Geh! It was gross. I thank my mom for being willing to scoop 'em out for me. Thanks mom!

Haha, absolutly. When you have allergies like I used to, trust me, snot is nothing to worry about.

All the snot mostly washes away, without soap, immediatly anyway, mind you, that doesnt mean I dont use the soap afterwards, but its not like I'm smearing mucus on it.

I don't usually no. Just not something I have to do that often and I don't usually feel like it in the shower. I would if I felt like it at the time.

Haha, that's why I love Chinese showers. The shower head is on a flexible pipe and you can make sure to wash everything down the drain. And since there is no basin or tub, you just turn around and use the toilet if you need to pee. There is no need to pee in the shower or down the drain when you can just turn and handle your business.

I'm kinda ashamed now. Yes, I let the snot flow down the drain. This is despite the revulsion that I've been showing to the "Pee in the shower" people, and despite the facts that urine is sterile whereas nasal mucus can spread disease.

I'm not sure why I feel this way, and my feelings haven't changed.

Anyway, I never do unless I'm sick. I really don't understand the problem as long as you wash it down the drain and use soap and shit. I mean hell, do you actually think blowing your nose in the shower is any more gross than washing your ass in the shower?

Assuming you wipe your ass after doing your duty, it shouldn't be that dirty in the first place, so I can see how some people might think blowing your nose in the shower is more disgusting.

Can't say i blow my nose, but sometimes i spit - mucous lodged in my throat overnight and for some reason when i wake up it moves and i need to get rid of it. Very seldom though.

Short of taking a squat in there, i don't think there's many things that can't happen in the shower - it goes to the same place the toilet does, it has doses of hot water and soap through it several times a day, and then has a good clean to get rid of grime and other stuff.

.. Maybe I ought to start doing it, though. After all it seems really practical to do it in the shower!

I just once want to see you get out of the shower and try to use a tissue.... if it doesnt fall apart in your hands, it will fall apart on your face, unless you get totally dry... and I mean entirely, haha, been there, tried that.

And just think, when that tissue falls apart as your blowing your nose, that snot gets all over your hands anyway. Then get it all over the shower curtain, and have it all over your face....

So much easier in the shower, lol.

Booger, booger, in my nose. Pick it, flick it, there it goes!

Well, I don't recall blowing my nose in the shower.. but I see nothing wrong with it as long as it doesnt stick to the wall or something.

These threads are funny. What is so gross about it? If it's the mucus then you should be aware that you swollow ALOT of mucus without even knowing it. If it's the bacteria in the boogers(heh booger) then you should also realize that anything you breath in your nose most likely also went into your mouth where it was promptly ingested.

It's probably much safer to eat a booger than to shake someone's hand.

I just had to tell you guys that a few days ago I was browsing through postsecret.com and there was a postcard that said the following:

I BLOW MY NOSE IN THE SHOWER TO SAVE TIME AND TISSUES

Somebody actually thought this was so awful that it was worth sharing through postsecret anonymously! You've got to laugh...

Now that I think about it, that's probably the most logical place to do it. You have clean hands and can take the opportunity to clean out your nostrils. Plus, you're not wasting TP.

Showering is all about cleaning out the pipes ...
