This question was inspired by a conversation with a very good friend who told me that she had received texts from guys who said they were in the shower and that she, in fact, had texted one time while in the shower.
I've never had the "privilege" to text from the shower (I'd probably drop my phone) but I did have a boss who demanded that we take calls whenever, including during showering. That was a non-starter.
So, what about you? Do you text and shower?
I have never texted anyone. So I have not done it in the shower. If people can't put their phone down long enough to take a shower, they have an addiction problem. Same goes for driving and a lot of other situations.
I'll point out that people have been killed before from using phones or other electronic devices in the bath/shower. Granted, the cases I know of had it attached to a charger, but the point remains that using anything electronic while wet is not a good idea.
Yes. All the time. If you have a protective covering over the charge port and in general keep the phone out of the water, the phone will work just fine. Though it is a bad practice and I am kind of shocked anyone should really expect you to receive calls while showering.
No! I rather not risk getting my phone wet, lol
Whoever or whatever it is can wait until I finish. I never bring my phone in the bathroom. I will be that person that somehow drops it in the sink, toilet, bathtub, shower... anyplace with water. Heck I don't even trust myself by the kitchen sink with a phone.
lmao im the friend who was receiving texts from a guy while he was taking a shower. This was actually the second guy who has texted me in the shower. shows commitment ;)

Don't do it. You fry your motherboard. (Ask me how I know. Jk. Don't.)
I clean my phone with a damp cloth. It never enters the shower, so my answer is NO
I sing in the shower does that count? lol
In oct I found out some scary health stuff and family had me taking my phone into the shower for a while there (ziplock bag and all) But thankfully never needed to, no.
If receiving something at the time I never would have looked. Some moments need disconnection.
Nope I have never done that. However I once played music with my phone when I was in shower and my parents weren't home. Now that I don't have my phone but a tablet it will be extremely difficult to text. Anyways it's dangerous to bring electronic gadgets inside washroom. I would never do that again. The fear to water splashing over phone was way more than the enjoyment of music.
I did back when I had My NG, and also when I got my PEG. showers were rare in the hospital though so usually it was just a warmed shower cap and body wipes. But I would constantly get messaged and I don’t feel like leaving my phone unattended in the room so I just brought it with me and sometimes text.
You don't need to talk to ANYONE that badly. The only reason you MIGHT was if you were doing something like "guiding someone through surgery over the phone", and in THAT case, you'd hold off on the shower.
I listen to my deathcore playlist but that's about it. I'm too clumsy to have my phone near water so don't text or even touch it 🤣
... I even dropped my phone off a ski lift. Lost it forever. Even frozen water (snow) is dangerous 😑
I don't take any communications that isn't through the door when I am in the bathroom. I rarely bring the phone in, it's laying on a desk or table when I am home. When I am a guest it stays in the pocket.
Unless somehow my phone becomes magically immune to water don't think I'll be doing that any time soon lol. And I don't have anyone I need to message that urgently that I couldn't take 5mins in the shower.
I usually wait till I get out of the shower to text. I do however, have a waterproof speaker in my shower so I can listen to tunes and sing along. One of my favorites is "I've Got You Under My Skin" by Frank Sinatra.👌
Yes thankfully my iPhone is waterproof but I still won’t leave it in long with me while I’m showering lol.
Damn it. I had a Samsung 8 and it failed because I had it in my pocket and it was a hot sweaty summer day. They wouldn't fix it because warranty conditions don't cover sweaty guys. Maybe Apple is OK in the shower but I wouldn't trust Samgsung
u I usually say that I just got out of the shower... there's absolutely no way for me to bring other stuff into the shower or bathroom like that
yeah if that's where the idea strikes me, sure. I'd tell that boss I'd need at least an extra zero on the check to assume I'm going to keep my phone with me 24/7 and respond in the shower.
The phone stays out of the loo, surly you can live for 5 minutes without it.
I’ve never taken anything in the loo, I go to the loo and come out. Christ how long you all in the bog for?
No, too busy washing my hair and other things before the hot water runs out. Maybe those people have a tankless water heater.
Nope. That's my "me time". Don't even knock. 👿
u I've shut the water off and stepped out of the shower to take a first call phone call, but no I don't think I've ever texted anyone.
My phone never goes into the bathroom. There’s nothing on it that can’t wait until i’m done in there.
