Slippery when stupid

The shower in our master bathroom is pretty big. It’s a little over six feet long and about three and a half feet wide. This means that it’s perfect for relaxing, lying down, napping, or, in my situation, performing full-body accidental breakdancing.

Before I begin, I need to educate you on the way that I shower. I usually use the Bath and Body Works Temptations 3-in-1 Body Wash, Bubble Bath, and Shampoo (Gingerbread, Caramel, or Chocolate, usually) for my entire body. I use Aveda facial moisturizer for my delicate beautiful face, and I use Aveda rosemary mint shampoo for all major areas that have hair. However, since I am lazy, I barely wash my legs and never wash my feet. I figure that the body wash suds will reach those areas without a problem thanks to gravity.

Yesterday, however, I decided that since I had been walking around in the yard barefoot, I should probably make the effort to actually wash my feet. I’m really fucking lazy, though, so rather than try to wash my feet properly, I just squirted tons of body wash on the shower floor and stepped in it, then started sliding around, letting it get all sudsy. Then I started sliding from one end of the shower to the other, watching my feet get all sparkly clean without doing a damned thing! It was a genius plan.

Until, of course, my momentum got the better of me. First, I was pushing on the sides of the shower walls to slide myself around. My hands were sudsy and slippery, and one push resulted in my right hand slipping, which made me start to spin. My left foot shot in front of me, hitting the wall with a painful crunch, and my right foot flew off to my right. Having no feet on the actual ground means that I was gravity’s bitch. I fell over, doing a split that someone my size should never do. Simultaneously, I put my hand out to stop my fall. My hand supporting my entire body, being filled with suds, slipped out from under me, which actually caused me to flip completely over, kicking the glass shower door with one foot and flailing around with the other until I was ass-up in the air, laying on my shoulders and still trying to figure out what the holy fuck had just happened.

And then the shower door that I had just dislodged fell on me, luckily staying in one solid piece.

And that’s why I’ll never wash my feet again.

    Oh.My.God.

    You are so lucky. That could have been much worse. I’m glad you’re ok.

    Next time, maybe though, put a vid cam in the shower so we can watch and learn how NOT to do what you did. I’m just saying. :boobs2:

    Now how am I supposed to explain to my boss why I have gone from sitting in grumpy silence, to laughing out loud, tears rolling down face, and holding my sides in agony.
    They already think I have a split personality.
    This is not going to help!!

    (I bet in the 2.4 milliseconds it took this to occur, you were already in the process of figuring out the wording for your post, weren’t you? In fact, I think you purposefully fell in the shower because you didn’t really have anything else to post about. Yes, yes, I’m sure this is it.)

    OW! Tub accidents are never fun but almost always amusing :P especially when you have your foot on a windowsill trying to shave your legs and lose your balance, sharp razor in hand:dunce:

    Since you mentioned using BBW products, another safety tip. Be VERY careful if you or Amy uses any of their oily salt scrubs (the sea salt & shea butter ones are ok). That oil will coat the shower/tub floor long after your shower is finished, as my boyfriend discovered when he went to shower after I did and nearly did a somersault after stepping unwittingly into the tub.

    Tracy, I’m like a cat. I always land on my feet. Or my head.

    Jacki, when the men in white coats come, just go with them peacefully, okay?

    Mist, I think I might have peed a little when that happened.

    Clown, it happened quickly, but that’s how I remember it.

    Sheila, by the time the shower door was hanging again, my post had been written in my head.

    Jules, someday I’ll beat gravity, that whore!

    Franky, I know. It’s the silent killer.

    DaisyJo, trust me – you don’t want to go anywhere near these feet.

    Melanie, my pain and suffering is only worthwhile if someone laughs.

    Denise, only if you videotape yourself in your shower and send it to me first.

    Mr. Fab, you’re masturbating, aren’t you? Bad Fab!

    RW, luckily, it’ll pull through. And you can call me Adam. Jesus Christ is a bit formal.

    Poppy, are you copying me?

    Julianne, yeah, I’ve slipped when I’ve had my foot up high washing it. And yes, I’ve used sugar scrub before that made the entire shower feel like it was made from Vaseline. Impossible to walk without falling over.

    I certainly wouldn’t wash my feet again either! Maybe you should get one of those long handled louffas that you can use with barely having to bend over to get to your feet! That’s what I do (cuz like you I’m lazy) and it works like a charm.

    But on a more serious note, thank God you didn’t hurt yourself. The shower door falling on you could have been very, very bad.

    one thing that works like a charm for me is to sit down in the shower and soap up my footsies, rinse them, and then to stand again. it’s a process but you know, it saves the shower door and your ass parts.

    You know, B&B makes a cool foot scrubby thing that uses suction cups to stick to the floor of your shower – then no slippy ass cracking!

  45. HeeHaww! Oh wait, I’m not supposed to laugh…or am I? Heh. At least you didn’t fall on the back brush or something and jam that up your ass.

    ZOMG, do you NOT love having a shower that big? When we re-did our bathrooms, we had a BIGASS shower put in the master bathroom with all these spray nozzles and crap. Awesome. But I don’t really use it because I use my own bathroom. :P I can’t be sharing.

    Oh yeah, and buy one of these for your shower. It is much easier to clean your nasty feet.
