Washing and rinsing doesn't take that long. I usually shave or clean the shower while I wait, and even that doesn't take long enough sometimes

Some hair dyes can have you standing there for 10 or 20 minutes.

Sometimes just enjoying the steam is nice. It's taking a lot of Blood Sweat and Tears to build a modern world, we are fortunate to have hot safe water on top. I'm going to spend my time and money standing under the boiling shower head and enjoy myself for far longer than everyone else is going to decide is reasonable, I'm going to keep reading and listening while I do so.
