Husband Fights With Wife for Taking 26-Minute Shower, Accuses Her of Wasting Water

A woman's story has gone viral after she revealed that her partner accused her of wasting water during a 26-minute shower. In a detailed Reddit post, she shared the disagreement that unfolded between them.

According to the original poster, she is a "female with long, thick hair" who was taking a "full-body shower" that included washing her body, face, conditioning her hair, and shaving. She claimed that her partner "lost their mind" over the length of time she spent in the shower.

"My partner lost their shit over how long I'd been in the shower. I am a female with longer thick hair, and I was doing what some refer to as a full body shower - washing, conditioning hair, shaving all, washing my body, my face, and then got out. My partner said they were running the sink for as long as I was in the shower and asked if I noticed how much water was wasted then. I asked how I'd be able to hear that run while I was in the shower. 'Exactly.' followed by other things." she wrote in the post. 

"I added the songs I listened to while in the shower to their own playlist, totaled 26 minutes," she continued.

The woman added, "I don't shower every day (because I work from home), but if I do - I'm under 10 minutes with body washed and hair shampooed for a regular wash."

Since being shared, her post has crossed over 10,000 reactions.

"He thinks you're the AH for wasting water but he kept the water running for the entire time? Worst. Water. Policing. Ever," a user said.

Another wrote, "I'm still confused as to how he thought that proved his point."

"NO if I'm shaving and washing everything my hubby EXPECTS me to be in there for at least 45 minutes. I just asked him and he said "45 to an hour" bc my normal showers of just washing my hair and body take 15-30 minutes," another added.

A person remarked, "Exactly. A shower on a non-hair washing day is about 10-15 minutes for me. Washing body and hair? 25-30 minutes. 45 minutes or so for everything + shaving. He's out of his mind."

"I'm a dude with long curly thick hair, don't shave anything, and can still crank out a 30 minute shower just focused on hair care! Man's an idiot," said a person.

A Reddit user said, "Your partner intentionally wasted water to 'teach you a lesson', This is one scary logic, and two if you don't pay the water bill really really dumb. If you do pay the water bill, I'd ask them to compensate you for wasting water."
