There is two people in this thread
-
people who read "bringing your phone in the shower" as having the phone in the same room as the shower.
-
everyone else who seems to think that people are putting their phones directly under the shower nozzle.
Really poor wording on this article. Most people don't think "bringing your phone into the shower," means "leave your phone in the bathroom while you take a shower."
I read it as number one and still got confused why people did this. I leave it in another room while I take a shower... is that not what people normally do?
Yeah, I always leave the phone outside the bathroom, never even thought to bring it with me. I guess this the new age addiction to bring phones everywhere you go even inside of your own home.
I always take it, but it's a bit of personal history
I once got stuck in a shower room because the lock broke, and I've spent about 6 hours on something like 3 square meters without any way to contact the external world nor entertain myself. It was just me, bath, shower machine and the sink. I've been alone at the house, so I couldn't ask for help. Also, hot water pipes were being repaired, so I couldn't take a nice shower/bath while at it, either.
Since then, I always took a phone with me. Just in case, y'know.
For me, if I'm needing to lock the door then I'm not alone, whereas if I'm alone then I'm not gonna bother locking the door so I shouldn't need immediate access to my phone.
Although, having your phone in a bathroom drawer is probably not nearly as bad as having it in the open room since the steam won't get to it as easily.
People bring their phones into the shower?!
Always wild concept to me. People bringing their $1000 electronics into an environment not made for them. Like come on, how long are you in the shower, do you really need to be entertained while washing your body?
I’ve noticed an increasing number of people that use their phone the entire time they’re at the urinal in public restrooms. This takes what? A minute tops? I’ve also seen people set it next to the sink to keep looking while washing their hands…assuming they even do to begin with.

I used to have a perfectly working system with a waterproof bag-thing for the phone and a bluetooth speaker somewhere outside of the shower so I could watch youtube videos while just chilling in the shower.
Also had one of those long 1920s cigarette holders so I could smoke a joint in there. I made a good time out of it.

Have the same phone for 6 years now, bring it into the shower most days, and have not had any issues.
Maybe steam has a non-zero effect but it's pretty damn close to zero..
I brong it in to doomscroll whilst pooping before i shower. So its already in the room with me. But never had an issue so far.
If this is you, seek help. You have a problem.
I guess I'm a monster for liking a podcast going in the shower? THE HORROR!!
Listening to something in the shower is not what the is about.

It is pretty amazing to me that some people really have to be told not to bring their expensive electronics into the shower. It's the shower, just wash your dirty ass and get out.

"Why would you have the phone in the shower anyway?"
MUSIC.
I use mine for music but I leave it outside of the shower, if a shit song comes on it's my fault for having it on the playlist
