People bring their phones into the shower?!
Always wild concept to me. People bringing their $1000 electronics into an environment not made for them. Like come on, how long are you in the shower, do you really need to be entertained while washing your body?
You can spend 1 millisecond away from your tsunami of AI sludge!?
Back before smartphones, when everyone was bleaching the tattletale to get the phone warrantied after getting even a little water near it, there was a rumor going around. Kids with friends in Japan were hearing that people over there had waterproof cellphones and would be talking while in the shower. We were super jealous, not for shower talking, but for the feature. I’d think ICP rated phones today should be able to handle some humidity.
There are Insane Clown Posse rated phones!? I need one of those because I keep killing mine because I spill Faygo on it.
I’ve done it before. Time-constrained, watching something interesting.
These days I’ll shower with a resistant earbud in, listening to music. I shower early/late and don’t want the music to wake my partner. (probably less likely than the shower itself, but that’s how i roll)
That’s where all the best ideas come from!
Can’t give your wife any chance on reading texts of you hitting on other women.
Notthst I’m cheating with other women (seriously who can be bothered) my phone is locked with my fingerprint. As much as we share a lot in life I have not given her copies of my fingerprints so she couldn’t unlock the phone anyway. In theory she knows the passcode but since she asks me for it every single time she needs to use my phone I’m recently confident she doesn’t retain it.
My last partner and I had fingerprints on each other’s devices just for convenience sake, mostly so that we can text on each other’s behalf while the other was driving or in case of an emergency situation.
I would argue doing this right takes way more Trust than just keeping the boundaries up , and that I wouldn’t prescribe it for most couples.
There is two people in this thread
-
people who read “bringing your phone in the shower” as having the phone in the same room as the shower.
-
everyone else who seems to think that people are putting their phones directly under the shower nozzle.

I used to have a perfectly working system with a waterproof bag-thing for the phone and a bluetooth speaker somewhere outside of the shower so I could watch youtube videos while just chilling in the shower.
Also had one of those long 1920s cigarette holders so I could smoke a joint in there. I made a good time out of it.
Have the same phone for 6 years now, bring it into the shower most days, and have not had any issues.
Maybe steam has a non-zero effect but it’s pretty damn close to zero…
“Why would you have the phone in the shower anyway?”
MUSIC.
Sad, that the recommendation is “use Bluetooth speakers instead, which are more expendable” instead of “are safe to use”.
I used to have a waterproof Bluetooth speaker, but it was actually better than having your phone with you since it was right there in the shower.
UE BOOM speakers are safe to use in a humid bathroom during a shower. I’m pretty sure.
They sound fucking fantastic too.
fortunately the Steam deck doesn’t have that problem
If this is you, seek help. You have a problem.
What about golden showers? Asking for
a friendKrasnovI never knew there were this many people who bring phones in the shower. Where is this world going… People chase dopamine even while showering
put it in a plastic bag or two and ready you are to keep being consumed by content.
TBH I dont bring my phone to the bathroom anymore cause i dont want to risk my phone breaking, even if it is waterproof.
I’ve had this same phone since Covid, and bring it into the shower every day for podcasts, music, or YouTube videos.
Still works great! It might need charge in the evening after heavy use, but what 6 year old phone wouldn’t?
I brong it in to doomscroll whilst pooping before i shower. So its already in the room with me. But never had an issue so far.
who the fuck would
