When I have a shower my head is always facing towards the shower

Now this is whether I am washing my hair or not. When you see a woman on TV or in a film having a shower she is always facing away from the shower. I have just watched something with a man and he was facing the shower. I know this is a first world question but how do you shower?

I never even thought of facing away, wouldn’t you be freezing??

Mindblowing.

RisingSunn · 24/05/2022 20:08

Face the shower of course!

Soulstirring · 24/05/2022 20:09

Face away, head tilted back to rinse hair well when under the water

Nat6999 · 24/05/2022 20:09

I have to face the shower because my grab rail is under the shower raiser bar.

Darbs76 · 24/05/2022 20:10

Facing away

maddiemookins16mum · 24/05/2022 20:18

I start off facing away and finish facing.

Fellow kebaber here. But sometimes stand with face under water pretending I'm in a really good hot strorm, or sit on the floor and have a good think.

Well people, I stand sidways
Let that blow your minds!!!
(Its to do with water spraying / re-bounding off me & leaking out under the glass door.)

DontKeepTheFaith · 24/05/2022 20:28

I face away to wash hair, turn to wet my face, turn again to wash the soap off my face and soap by body then a final twirl to rinse my front.

I guess I’m a kebab and never knew it🤣

Can’t bear water in my face.

ImInStealthMode · 24/05/2022 20:29

Face towards the shower unless I'm washing my hair / rinsing my hair / rinsing my back. The shower is adjusted so it hits my chest not my face (I bend a bit to wash my face). Keeps my hair from getting too wet if I don't want to wash it.

Face away so I am pointing to the door/exit so it someone sneaks in to brutally murder me I will see them coming 🤷🏼

The only way to shower! Be vigilant.

Kebabylonian 😄
Me too! I love these sort of threads where 2 camps are like wtf??!!! You do what??? 😱
(I know it's not so clear cut but still)

MrOllivander · 24/05/2022 20:40

Face away mostly but also kebab. Shower head hits my neck and not head as I don't wash my hair in the shower

Momicrone · 24/05/2022 20:40

Both, I like water in my face

Pegasaurus · 24/05/2022 20:45

I always face towards the shower, astounded that most people don't, never occurred to me to face away

CathyorClaire · 24/05/2022 20:45

Team kebab.

Mumof2bears · 24/05/2022 21:08

I unclip the shower head and take it down so that I can direct it onto different parts of my body. By the responses so far in this thread I'm evidently the odd one!

TheDuchessOfBeddington · 24/05/2022 18:34

I turn round like a kebab 😂

Me too!

Nesbo · 24/05/2022 21:17

People who say they face away as they don’t like getting it in their face …can’t you just point the spray a bit lower?

Gizacluethen · 24/05/2022 21:19

I face away but turn around to warm my belly periodically. I also take the shower head off to rinse my hair (and fanjo) so less water goes on my face.

Gizacluethen · 24/05/2022 21:20

@Nesbo but then your shoulders get cold

I turn round like a kebab 😂

I twirl too. Sometimes I even dance 🤣 (but don't tell anyone).

Sswhinesthebest · 24/05/2022 21:22

Face away so it goes over my back but also runs over my shoulders and onto my front.
My back gets cold if I face it.
