See , I knew people in high school that were the type to avoid showering whenever possible , and my little brother does the same thing to this day despite working a decent job and being married . When I spoke to him about it , he said that he tries to avoid showering now because he frequently as in more than once apparently almost drowned in the bathtub as a child because his father was incredibly negligent . He never grew out of it and still refuses to shower daily , opting instead to simply wash his more odorous areas with a wash cloth and change clothes routinely . When I spoke to my friends in school about it , they all said something akin to showering is a waste of time , I don ' t do anything but sit at home so how am I dirty ? So there ' s two perspectives on that , I guess .
