I do it all the time. Before smart phones were a thing I had a water proof shower radio. Now I use the phone for the same thing. Mostly listening to news or a podcast or something. Sometime it's a Nebula video, but in the shower I'd just be listening to it like a podcast anyway. Before phones were waterproof I used to use a waterproof Bluetooth speaker.
I've never had steam cause a problem, but then again my showers aren't long, aren't very hot and my phone is kept pretty high up and out of the way.
So, why... oh, forget it.
Everyone uses their phones while eating or pooping. Those activities don't take long either. I choose to listen to something while showering.
It's ok if you don't understand it or do it yourself, but some people take their phone into the shower. It is a thing.
That's a strange assumption here
We do??
I like to sometimes take a break from my phone while pooping and read a product label, like the olden times
Would recommend every now and then
Nah. I had to do that the other day and lemme tell you, shampoo bottles just don’t hit the same these days.
They do feature a lot of exotic words I don't understand
"Everyone" does not use their phone while eating or pooping. I make an effort to engage with mine as little as possible, in a perfect world checking it when I wake up when I get home and before bed. For me the phone is a weird mix of useful tool and addictive drug, almost impossible to drop entirely but very much worth limiting access to. Constant stimulation is certainly a choice you can make, but probably not a healthy one. I view what you're doing the same way you might view someone saying they always drink a beer in the shower.
This is some boomer shit
Saying boomer shit about someone having a different point of view is the most boomer of shits...
They're literally equating listening to a podcast from your phone in the shower with doing drugs/drinking beer.
Pooping takes forever 🥺 and please don't say fiber. There's no room left for more 💀
You can get a waterproof Bluetooth speaker pretty cheap. Better sound and zero risk of anything happening to the phone. I love mine.
