Today, my roommate confided in me that she hadn't been taking showers while at school because she was afraid of being in the shower when the fire alarm goes off. She goes home once every month, and will only shower there. I have to live with her for the rest of the year. FML

Today, my new roommate took a shower. This would be a good thing, except for the fact that it's apparently taken her two months just to take this one. I have to live with her for another year. FML
Today, while watching TV in my dorm, I clearly heard my roommate yell to someone proudly, "I've only taken a shower 4 or 5 times since I've been here." He's been my roommate for four months. FML
Today, the fire alarm went off in my dorm. Not only was it 30 degrees outside, but I was in the shower. FML

Today, despite using deodorant religiously and showering twice a day, my roommate still smells so bad that every time she enters the room I become physically sick. FML
Today, my roommate decided to go on a group trip instead of paying our water bill. Now I can't shower until next week. FML
Today, I woke up to my step-mother taking a shower in my bathroom. Of course, this would be fine, if my bathroom wasn't connected to my room and closet, or that I live in an apartment in their back yard, built before she moved in. FML
Today, marks the third week in which my girlfriend has gone without taking a shower. She does this every so often, taking showers roughly once per month. She's convinced baby wipes will "hold her over". FML

Poor thing, I have similar anxiety about showering in bathrooms with no natural light, or that have extractor fans. When I lived in a flat with a bathroom like that for a year and a half I had to shower with the bathroom door open (luckily I lived alone :P). Maybe suggest she go to the campus health service and see if they have counsellors who could help her with that?

I understand that she's scared, but that's honestly disgusting.

That's my favorite part for fire alarms. Getting to see girls just getting outta the shower outside only wearing a towel, or nothing!

Where did you go to school? Around here, everyone flat out ignores the fire alarm until someone comes around and says it's not a drill. We had plenty of time to get dressed.

People like you are probably the reason for her anxiety.

Is she afraid she wouldn't hear it or afraid that she'd be naked when there's a fire drill? I don't quite understand why she's scared. If it's the naked thing then buy her a robe just incase a fire drill happens while she's in the shower.

Try setting those fire alarms on and have the sprinklers shower her

Why can't she just keep a housecoat next to the shower so if she had to run out she is decent? She should probably have more anxiety about people noticing the flies that might start buzzing around her if she refuses to shower.

Can't you offer her those no rinse shampoo and bath wipes that patients use while they are in hospital
