    This is too real, I absolutely ate it once in a hotel shower all alone. I was stunned and had the wind knocked out of me while getting waterboarded by the shower. I don’t think I ever felt so helpless and actually started thinking this is how it ends.

      • I’ve been more careful in the shower lately, especially since ours is all stone tile. It’s got good traction, but I keep wondering what happens when people fall in showers–whether it’s usually a traction thing, or whether it’s significantly an orientation thing (due to temperature change, scalp massaging , head angle, etc. affecting blood pressure and equilibrium…).

        Every time I saw a roadway accident in bad weather, I thought of it like something that wasn’t going to happen to me, until I had my own moment and realized my traction on fresh rainfall wasn’t what I thought it was.

        Showers seem like the next “oh, that can happen to me” thing.

          Have eaten absolute shit in the shower. I was young, in shape, just had a moment of complacency and slipped. Other than some bruising and scaring the shit out of me, I was fine thankfully.

          My dad felt horrible and immediately bought sticky grip pads for the tub lol.

          It can definitely happen to anyone, anytime. Be careful out there, eh
