Yeah, seems like a weird highhorse to sit on.

How long do you spend in the shower? Do you have time to turn off your brain for 5–10 minutes? I recommend it from time to time. Sometimes I even drive to work, or especially from work, without any audio on. It's surprisingly relaxing.

But maybe I'm talking to one of the generations who grew up with mobile phones. I imagine it's harder for them, poor things.

I mean, I just set my phone just outside the shower and turn the volume up a touch. Once upon a time I had a weatherproof bag I'd seal my phone in that was originally meant for a solar powered flashlight for emergency use. The bag was triple sealed and I doubt any steam reached the phone.

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.

Wholesome content.

Hop on loser, we're gonna take a shower.

I’ve noticed an increasing number of people that use their phone the entire time they’re at the urinal in public restrooms. This takes what? A minute tops? I’ve also seen people set it next to the sink to keep looking while washing their hands…assuming they even do to begin with.
