I hate when I get hair on my feet

I’m one of the crew that mostly dries off in the shower where water can drain, and I dry each foot as I step out. There’s no need to handle more water.

I’ve used duck boards in outside showers, so I am familiar with them, but I’m not seeing a need inside, especially where we dry off before stepping out of the shower

Bathrooms should have a floor drain regardless of whether they are of the wet variety. I personally hate the concept of a wet bathroom and the behaviour it encourages. Stuff gets wet that shouldn't, it just makes everything harder and expands the scope of cleaning while compromising "dry" tasks after someone else has used the shower if they partake in the undisciplined behaviour the design encourages. Also not a fan of all the functions being in one room.

No you don't touch the towel to the shower floor, you do everything but that. Then you step into the mat mostly dry, not cold, not making a mess to finish.

...lift up your feet.
