I was listening to Triple J when the topic of DRY IN or DRY OUT came up. While one dj argued that it makes more sense to dry yourself outside the shower, the other insisted that drying inside the shower prevented unnecessary mess.

INSIDE THE SHOWER

PROS

- you stay warm from the hot steam in the shower
- the bathroom floor stays dry and spotless

CONS

- small showers make this as awkward and tedious task
- having your towel pick up wetness from shower walls defeats the purpose

OUTSIDE THE SHOWER

PROS

- you have as much space to dry yourself as you want
- it’s fun making a mess in the bathroom

CONS

- you leave the floor looking like a dog has just shaken itself all over the floor
- suffering from the sudden drop in temperature

interestingly enough, the majority of callers that rang up said they dry themselves inside the shower. personally, I dry outside the shower. firstly, I scald myself in the shower so I step out steaming hot. Secondly, I like being able to lift my legs up in every possible direction to make sure every nook and cranny is dry. Drying in the shower is too restricting. It’s a repressive habit.

On the other hand, it annoys the fuck out of me when people take a shower and leave puddles of water all over the place in the bathroom. That’s what bathmats were invented for! Stay on the bloody mats for god’s sake.

Out of curiosity, I would like to hear your comments on this matter. Do YOU dry in or dry out?
