Thank you for your detailed comment.

Unironically the part talking about song lengths and types of showers was really funny, now I keep thinking in characterizing things in terms of song lengths. It opens so many possibilities of how to express and do fun jokes. My wife and I already say stuff like "Are you going for number 1 or 2? ... Let me use the bathroom first then I need to quick do X" But now the possibilities are endless, like "Are you going for a Blitzgreig Bop or a Stairway to Heaven?"

Anyway, back to the main topic, I remember doing something like that years ago, like timing the shower or using a playlist to gauge how long I am taking, but I guess nothing that detailed.

I feel like your breakdown maybe leaving some parts behind or take different time for me, like I scrub my ears and because of my piercings it takes a little more time. I also like to scrub between my toes and that is kinda fast but adds up. But I guess for me the true challenge is the same of comics someone else shared in this thread, really hard not to stop for a minute and take a deep breath, feel the hot water and just enjoy it for a while and gather my thoughts and energy, not to start the day for me, but to go to bed.

Anyway, much rumbling about nothing on my part, but I wanted to share, mostly to say I really enjoyed your comment and the time and effort you put into It. At least for me I usually dress leaving long comments because I am usually on mobile and hate typing on the phone.

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate that someone was able to appreciate my ramblings lol.

I did try it to Toxicity yesterday and it was tight but I was at the end of my shower when the song finished, but then noticed that drying off took another 3 mins and then more time for everything after that. Though it was a bit rushed and not something I'll go for each shower.
