> Not sure after three days without a shower my main concern would be how my hair looks
Yeah, the condition of my hair isn't what prompts me to shower daily. If my skin could magically be clean and pleasant (to both myself and other people), we could talk.
> The few people who do need it every day can probably work it out for themselves.
People are much less sensitive to their own body odor than you may assume. Please default to taking a shower before you go to public places unless you have very concrete evidence otherwise.
>Does anyone else forget if they washed their hair of not while having an epiphany?
I'm more likely to mindlessly apply body soap to my hair or shampoo to my body when solving problems in the shower. I'm always amused when my autopilot makes this mistake.
Wait, how long has this been going on? Do most people really take showers every day? Most people I know (myself included) only do it when they get smelly/sweaty, which is roughly every day in the summer, every 1.5-2 days in the winter. Is this a US thing?
> Put on some deodorant, shower every other day and this guy could cut down his risk massively
Yeah, if by "massively" you mean he'll only be expected to have a possibly-fatal fall twice instead of five times.
Your post is extremely ignorant. It not only offensively and incorrectly ascribes daily showering to "prissiness" and "obsessiveness" (as if that's the reason I shower every day, instead of, you know, wanting to smell nice, look nice, and feel refreshed), it also claims that this is an American phenomenon (I'm Canadian, and many/most people I know shower daily. The ones I know who don't, smell). It also assumes all people are the same. Personally, I'd feel pretty sorry for your wife if you smell like I do after not showering that morning.
It's no more "bizarre" than the Japanese are bizarre for using those funky toilets with built-in bidets. Cultures may be different. Let them be different without judging, and without projecting.
Opposite here. I need to shower at night or else I feel dirty when trying to sleep in my bed.
