I have a bath every other day, I'm perfectly clean and smell absolutely fine. However, maybe the landlady has to bathe every day because she has issues, I don't know. Showers would probably be more cost effective though, if that's what she's moaning about.
Had a room mate blame me for the high electric bill because I left a light on when I went to work a few times... granted the 65 degree AC was clearly never the problem. Yeah moved out... I hope she gets some common sense OP and gets its not your few cups of water..
Next time explain to her that the water she uses daily for her baths equals half a year of you boiling a kettle each day... or don't bother, thank her for her 'advice', and do the math next time she complains about the bill.
such a cheapskate
personal hygiene is not a waste of water, boiling a full kettle for one cup of coffee/tea is..
Last I checked OP was drinking the contents of the kettle which is essential to survival. You can only live 3 days without drinking. Last I checked we can live 3 days without a shower. It's just a luxury to feel clean.
I totally understand. when we lived with my husband's parents his dad would complain about our utility usage too. he would constantly leave the TV on and not even watch it, but we we're wasting money by occasionally leaving the lights on when we left to go to the bathroom. and he would force us to hand wash dishes as soon as they got dirty to "save money" which required waiting for the slow water heater to kick on for every dirty spoon or dish instead of piling everything into the dishwasher at once and saving water and energy. and we were the ones that used too much water because we wanted to do more than just rinse off in the shower.
You could boil her leftover bathwater. The heat would kill any bacteria & the tea would cover up any unwanted "flavors" from her bath. I really don't see a problem here. ;-)
That's disgusting. I bet you've never done that.
Jokes are supposed to be funny
am I the only one who doesn't see what's wrong here? unless she's fulling the bath tonextreme levels, but of she's not, bathing daily is kinda important yo
Trying to squeeze the 1/4 of a penny savings out of your tea kettle is insane. Taking baths, though, is not. Usually baths take less water than showers, and hygiene is important. Think of it this way, at least you don't have a crazy landlord who turns off the hot water if you take too long of a shower!
Baths dont take less water than showers! Why are so many people in the comments saying that? A bath requires on average 70 gallons whereas the average shower takes 10-20 gallons. Unless you're taking a 30 minute shower then a bath will always take more water!

next time she asks you to stop, say you're boiling water to take baths the old fashioned way
The world is full of hypocrites and its our job to deal with them lol
