A whole lot of judgy comments throughout this thread. I've been bringing my phone into the shower for the past 15 years, and quit bagging them since all the flagship handsets were IP67 rated or stronger.

I accept the liability of it, and it has not been a problem for me by and large, and I have no regrets.

I would estimate as much as 5% or 8% of my phone use has been standing there in an enjoyably hot shower and listening to podcasts or puzzling through some idea (building an estimated moving cost to relocate to another market for example, and all its tax implications) or catching up on all the personal correspondence that I had ignored for the day.

If that makes me a monster, at least I'll be an specially clean one.

    As other have said, not a monster problem.

    But I would question my relation to my work if I can't stop it even while taking a shower. We're not built to be working every seconds we're awake.

    Now, you're a grown ass adult so you do you boo. But maybe try to take a step back, just to check if you can. Work can be an addiction too.

    lol not a monster, but maybe clean yourself up for 5–10 minutes, then sit down in your couch or in a chair and do the things you mentioned, instead of standing in the shower.

    Treat your brain to a relaxing time of cleaning yourself. We need that time off of everything that the human brain didn't evolve for, but we've been cleaning ourselves forever.

    If you have time to do all that in the shower, you have time to do it out of the shower. You could hardly be saving time by doing it in the shower lol.
