    At least turn off the water if you’re not in it.

      For the 5-10 seconds it takes to lather up? Not really worth it, especially if the water temperature will fluctuate. Also, there’s something to be said for the hot steaminess that showers create.

      I’m all for saving energy when it’s not being used, but I’m using that hot water. I might not need it, but I enjoy it.

        If you only spend 5-10 seconds I’d argue you might as well stop showering because that is not enough time to be effective.

        (edit) To not be too argumentative and rude I’d wager you probably spend more time than 10 seconds. :) Your other points do have merit too, heck who am I to judge your showering habits.

          Yeah I think I was downplaying the time to try and make it seem like I’m not wasting water so much XD but dammit if I don’t like a good hot soak.

          However 5-10 seconds is probably about right for my face and hair each. 5-10 seconds lather, 5-10 seconds rinse and scrub. Then standing in the water for a minute or so daydreaming lmao.
