Do You Bathe Everyday?

How can there really be people out there that don't? My Coworker/Carpooler does not. He smells like he's been rolling around in crisco, dandruff, and potato chips.

Please people, wash your a** daily.

Sorry if this offends anyone....but if it does, don't type anything, go get in the shower immediately!!

That is all. Have a good day :drinker:

    lol. Now that is nasty! 10 minutes under the shower won't kill you, but maybe he is allergic to water...

    I used to have a roommate who put on Axe spray in place of bathing.

    Yes defiantly shower at least once a day, sometimes two times - can't understand people that don't.

    You must work with my ex. I could never get him to shower. Kept saying he hated water. His hair smelled like bacon.

    My mother is one of those unbathed people. It's horrifying. She deliberately ignores hints and then gets hysterical--literally--when you flat-out call her on it. She's seventy-seven years old now, and the situation is unlikely to change, but it's not as though this is a new getting-old kind of thing; she's always been like this.

    I guess my sister and I determined when we were in our teens to go totally the other way. On any given day I shower at least twice, sometimes three times, and I never get into bed or leave my house without being freshly showered. The very IDEA that somebody might think I stink terrifies me.

    /neurotic rant.

    The only time I won't is sometimes in the winter here in Michigan on a Saturday when I don't have anywhere to go because my skin gets to dry and raw that it needs a break, but I still clean up the 'stinky zones'.

    If I haven't broken a sweat that day, I don't smell bad and I don't feel funky...I see no need to waste the water. It won't kill me, but it will kill the planet. Also, I have many scars that are extremely sensitive to overdrying.
    I wash my face and brush my teeth at least twice a day, but I'll bathe/shower 3-4 times a week in the winter and 4-6 times a week in the summer.

    An enlightening article on the subject can be found here:

    I know someone for a fact that goes daysss without showering and is very obvious. About it and don't give a damn
    and I'm embrassed to say I'm related to this person. And on top of it wears the same nasty *kitten* sagging boxers all the time...and walks in front of his neighbors in them! And don't give a f*Cl..he also has a Girlfriend and I have no idea how or why she puts up with it...it gets so bad at times that she begs him to shower...crazy a**es

    I usually shower everyday, but sometimes I shower every other day. I don't think it is disgusting.

    Obviously if people are noticing, or you have someone you live with or a romantic partner who minds...that is between you guys.

    Otherwise, I have never had a problem the times I skip a day.

    I used to have a husband that did that. But I divorced his stanky *kitten* lol

    Ok, I can possibly get over it if maybe you shower every other day (I personally love to shower at least once a day more on workout days!) But what I don't get is some of the guys at my work who work out in the middle of shift and dont shower after....Gag my with a spoon! :sick:

    I definitely don't wash my hair every day and yeah, sometimes I skip a day of bathing if I'm just staying home with my kids and will only see the husband for an hour or two.... I know I'm gross and 'm okay with that.

    Every day - with some exceptions: there have been those rare mornings when I wake up usually after a night out and it's like 15 mins before I'm supposed to be at work. Those days I take a 1/2 shower and run (don't wash hair). This happened to me twice this year.

    And we have a lil snowmobile camp we go to on winter weekends, there is no shower there so we "rough" it.
    Also "rough" it backpacking weekends but usually manage to bath in a lake or something.

    Usually every other day, but it depends. To be honest I think I know myself if I am rank or not. The days I don't I still rinse my hair, wash my face and do a "personal check" if anything else needs doing.

    I don't wash my hair every day either which seems to be horrifying to non-europeans.

    I worked as a grocery store cashier back in college and I can attest that there are many people who do not bathe daily or use deoderant. There was one woman who came in all the time who literally smelled like a sewer. I woul dhave to hold my breath if she came through my line to keep from throwing up or passing out. And I'm not exaggerating. It was rank.

    I usually shower everyday but I sometimes skip a day on week-ends. I wash my hair every 4 days.

    If you don't shower daily...... There are things that get to percolating, and not in a good way! Busy or not, take 5 min, wet it, wash it, rinse it. Repeat if necessary. lol

    Really? I've lived in the US all my life and most people I know don't wash their hair daily. I do only because mine's curly and it looks like crap if I don't.

    It's the weekend, and I've not gone to the gym.

    lol it's not a biggie to me.
    Then again I often don't have a partner to worry about.

    Rarely I might skip a day if I'm really busy or tired, but 95% of the time I shower daily, especially going to the gym so much!

    My ex never used to wash though. Sometimes he could go a couple of weeks without washing, it was so disgusting, it used to really piss me off. We used to argue over it a lot, and I used to have to beg him to wash sometimes! Hence why he is my ex...
