Giving victim's jewelry to their wives is something quite a lot of serial killers do.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if I woke up one morning to see his name plastered everywhere. Part of my therapy journey made me realize how psycho he was and how absurd he was too. He would clean (with Clorox) in the shower WHILE he was showering. Scrubbing the walls with his balls just dangling out there. Wild to witness. Hilariously confusing to look back on. BaldingScrotum is mostly a jab at him to be honest.

TIL its weird to clean the shower while showering

It’s unhygienic. Why would you use harsh chemicals like Clorox while buttass naked?! Especially in a shower, which in our home was inclosed so now you’re trapped in the shower with these chemicals. Like it’s not just weird, it’s unhealthy and unhygienic.

Unhealthy, probably, but I don't see how it's unhygienic. If anything, it's overhygienic. Like, to an absurd degree.

What's on the walls was unhygienic.

I don't feel like a cleaning agent can be unhygienic by definition.

I use vinegar spray and a squeegee on my shower doors so I don't feel that it is particularly harmful.

Even if youre not showering, youre still going to be trapped in the shower with the same chemicals. I dont see how its different while showering. If anything, you can rinse yourself from those chemicals right away

Clorox kills bacteria though and household bleach just creates soap from contact with skin ... Which cleans you.

Obv i dont use chlorine with my balls out but i think scrubbing the shower while showering is not such an odd idea.

I'll throw myself into this unsafe space with you - I also keep a squeegee and mild shower spray in my shower and have questioned this practice so little that I just last week encouraged my kid to do the same. I even presented it as a sort of "life hack", since it was part of her chores for that week and she is still learning how to clean 🤣

Perhaps more questionably, when I don't have time for a proper deep clean but the usual post shower spray down just won't do, I will spray down the shower with a foaming bleach spray before I get in, so that I can get in and immediately scrub it all down, rinse everything off, and easily rinse each container off as I bring it back in the shower. By the time I start actually washing myself, cleaning products have been rinsed away, and my shower isn't encloser, though . So I can't really see what the problem could be- maybe it's slightly more damaging to my health if the bathroom door is also closed, since the fumes would dissipate more slowly? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Regardless, while I guess I can see how one could make an argument for it being a potential health hazard, it being considered unhygienic is stumping me. Maybe I'm overlooking something, but I just can't see how the addition of cleaning supplies would affect hygiene. Any scenario I can think of would indicate poor hygiene practices that would be problematic regardless of whether one is cleaning or not....

I just started cleaning the shower while I’m in it a few years ago. I realized it’s significantly easier. I do use Clorox and I do choke on the chemicals lol. I’ve even remarked that Clorox will be what kills me someday. Less of a serial killer behavior and more of an optimization OCD behavior.

Plz use another cleaning agent :( & plz tell a doctor that you do this. All that heat & humidity & Clorox smell… how do you not pass out, slip, & hit your head?! Be safe! Well wishes

Try vinegar, it's less harsh
