It's a remora, dimwit.

I cultured bathwater in lab once. Ickiness abounded.

Why do you think god invented bubble baths?

I could tell why I never use bubble bath, but I'd be shading into TMI country....

No need. Mr Bubble was the bain of my childhood. But that's not been a problem since I ditched the crap bubble bath products.

Thrive to spite them

I don't like baths. I never could have bubble baths when I was a kid either. I like showers, they are more relaxing than baths, plus by the time the tub fills up I'm bored with the idea of a bath.

Plus baths remind one of the unfortunate aspects of entropy as they quickly end up room temperature.

If I only had a brain...

In fact I sometimes have a shower before I get into the bath, if I'm feeling especially grubby.

I think the japanese always wash before using the soaking tub.

Our master bathroom doesn't have a tub. this makes me sad. Now I have to take my mondo baths in the children's bathroom.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I always shower before or after a bath, and leave the hot water trickling in. I can beat entropy, dammit.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I do a quick rinse, then have my first, soapy hairwashing bubbley bath.

I drain about half the water, and rinse my hair under the tap as the new, warm water rushes in.

Then, after a nice soak (with occasional warm-ups), I set my book down, use my foot to turn on the shower, and drain the tub while the hot water rushes over me.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

A bathtub with some sort of heating element would be luscious. It would also be dangerous, because I don't think I'd ever leave once I got in.
