Today, I realized why my water bill has gone down so much. My 16 year old daughter now only feels it necessary to shower whenever her boyfriend is going to come over. FML

Today, I confronted my 18-year-old daughter about her excessively lengthy showers. She said she didn't see the big deal, considering the water "comes free with the house." No dear, it doesn't. FML

Savings

By someone who is depressed - 19/01/2023 05:00 - United States

Today, I've found that the water bill has been much lower than usual as of late. I then realized that this is because I'm so depressed and hardly get out at all, that I've stopped showering or even taking care of myself in general. Who do I have to impress, anyway? FML

Today, my boyfriend pointed out that the water bill is getting kind of high. I suggested that we shower together to save water. He said he'd rather deal with the high water bill. FML

Today, my 17 year-old reacted with shock and horror when she learned that a single utility bill can amount to more than 200 dollars. FML

Today, my daughter spent three hours crying and having a temper tantrum over being forced to have a bath after four days without one. My daughter is 16. FML

Today, my mother told me to take a quick shower. When I got out, she told me I took too long, and now I have to pay the utilities bill. My shower was two minutes long. FML

The pits

By Anonymous - 14/01/2024 08:00 - United States

Today, my mom revoked my shower privileges for a week, all because I'm “using too much water.” I'm the kind of person who will smell like garbage after one skipped shower. FML

Today, my 14 year-old daughter threw a massive fit over showering. She dislodged the shower curtain rod and threatened to beat us with it if we ever force her to shower again. FML

Try a scare tactic and ask her what's going to happen if her boyfriend comes over to surprise her. I bet that'll put her on a regular shower schedule.

So are you complaining about the water bill going down or that fact that SHE wants to smell nice for him, but not for anyone else. I would be happy a bill is going down considering that EVERYTHING is going up.

If it saves you money, why complain?

She saving water and money, and unless, the smell is bothering you, you don't need to worry. I haven't showered in two weeks, since I don't leave my house in the summer and I don't really have friends to come over. I don't leave my room that often except to get food, so it doesn't bother my family. We're teenagers, we're disgusting.

Yes. Yes, you are disgusting. Don't they eat with you? Now you know why.

We all eat in our own rooms. None of us really get along anyway.

Two weeks without showering is inexcusable if you actually have the means to take a shower. Interacting with people or not there is no reason to allow the excess dirt and oils to build up on your skin. That's just asking for rashes, pimples, and other skin care issues. I can understand skipping a couple of days, I wouldn't, but I can understand it but no more than that. Have more respect for yourself and bathe. Plus I'll bet that you can't actually tell exactly how bad you smell right now and are probably failing to realize smells linger. The hallway you walk through, the bathroom you sat in, will all maintain that funk for a few minutes after you've passed through so your family probably is suffering a bit.
