oh my god, this is hilarious. i laughed myself to tears reading these because my mother has always said i bathe "like a duck". i can't seem to shower, brush my teeth, or wash my hands without trailing puddles of water. nor can i understand how the SJs in my family do not. i can certainly see it as being an NP thing.
this is an interesting observation. though i'm slightly OCD about hygiene and washing my hands, i am thinking about everything but the act itself. and if there's a window near the sink, i'll be looking up at the sky lost in thought while i scrub my hands. despite a mild germ fetish i don't, however, have the drying-of-hands issue. i use only paper towels at home, and in a public restroom i just use the dryer or paper towel dispenser with my fist or the back of my hand and then open the door with a paper towel or sleeve.
