Stinky pits

Today, it's been two weeks since my parents went crazy with their attempts to save on the water bill. Every time I want to take a shower, I have to ask them first. Let's just say I've had to resort to taking sponge baths in public bathrooms to keep my B.O. under control. FML

Today, I had to announce to the whole house that I was going the bathroom, because the lock on the door is broken. Before I had the chance to wipe, my dad loudly burst through the door, stark bollock naked, to take a shower. FML

Surprising

Today, my younger sister had some friends over at ours. I was in the shower but was horrified to realize my clothes and towel were gone. Figuring that she took them, I tried to make it to my room without being seen, but one of her friends came up to use the bathroom. She saw everything. FML

Today, my family had dinner with my future in-laws for the first time. After a bottle of wine to herself, my mother loudly insisted that I'm out of her will. Apparently, I "molest towels" and leave them to "fester for days" in my "den of depravity". I'm sure they'll give me their daughter now. FML

Today, I'm so strapped for cash that I smuggled toilet paper out of my mother's house. FML

Piss poor prank

Today, I was in the toilet. Some idiots thought it was funny to throw a water balloon into the cubicle. The balloon didn't pop, but fell in the toilet, sending my own urine onto my shorts. I had 4 hours left of school. FML

Today, I realized I can tell which one of my 6 roommates has taken a dump, just based on the smell emanating from the toilet. FML

Caturday surprise!

Today, I tried to wash my cat in the shower, conveniently naked myself. He disapproved, scratching my man-parts and nicking a vein. I just got back from the hospital with an infection, swollen nuts, and a hole in my butt for which I had to get a shot of antibiotics. FML

Today, my mother told my boyfriend a cute story about me when I was little. The one where my cousin and I were caught pooping in a urinal in the church basement. FML

Today, I was at a water park with my family. They wanted me to stand underneath this big bucket filled with water. I didn't know it tips over, and my swimsuit isn't the tightest, so when all the water fell down, my swimsuit bottoms fell to my knees in front of tons of kids. FML

Today, I actually took pleasure in sniffing my armpits after two days of not showering. FML

Shakin your butt butt probably isn't going to help with your BO.

I can almost understand the parents. I have 3 teens who constantly use up 60 gallons of hot water a night. I thought about putting a water timer on so they only get 8-10 minutes each.

#17 and #110 thank you for proving insanity by wasting 50k+ on an udderly useless major. Unless you get a phd get used to the phrase "welcome to (McDonald's/ Walmart/ Target/ Burger King) how can I help you?"

I lived with a family that had to do this because they didn't use city water. So I started using the showers at the Gym I had membership to. It got me working out and I was squeaky clean everyday.

People are gonna freak, but I only shower or bathe every second day. I don't get dirty and smelly easily and my skin and hair don't dry out as much during the winter. Unlike normal women I really cannot stand to slather on all those gunky, smelly moisturizing lotions that make my skin feel really nasty.

I do the same. A washcloth dipped in warm water to clean off the areas that get sweaty is all I really need most days, I shower based on when my hair starts to seem a bit oily. A couple times a week. So long as you can get underarms, back of knees, and groin, you tend to be fine if you aren't someone who does dirty work. That's like two cups of water.

Just stop showering for a few days. Then spend a day in close proximity to them so they get the full effect of your "atmosphere." I'm sure they will get the message and change their tune real quick.
