    We used to start morning meetings with an icebreaker question at my old job. A friend had just watched “You’re the Worst” and was inspired to say, “raise your hand if you don’t wash your legs in the shower.”

    About half of us raised our hands. The non-washers insisted that gravity caused the soap to wash your legs and feet. We leg washers were not convinced, and a little grossed out, but we were all really surprised to learn the other side of the argument.

      “Used to start meetings with icebreakers”

      Did they stop after the leg washing question or was it something even more controversial?

        “Should Nazis be allowed to run the government?” - surprisingly controversial recently, and a definitive end to the meeting, if not the whole practice.

        Usually they were pretty innocuous. Smooth or crunchy peanut butter, is a hot dog a sandwich, is cheesecake a pie, Marvel or DC, Star Wars or Star Trek, The Stones or The Beatles, etc.

            I dunno I think I’ve had cheesecake in a crust only once before but I’ve seen it in cakes a lot. Saying it’s a pie sounds outlandish to me.

            Yeah, cheesecake is cake in exactly the same way that ice cream cake is cake, in that it isn’t at all even slightly close to being cake.

              Real ice cream cake actually has at least one layer of cake in it. Not the stupid ice cream cakes that’s just ice cream shaped like a cake. That’s just an imposter.

                The only ice cream cake I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen a lot, my in-laws love the stuff) has a layer of cookie crumbles inside. I’ve never seen a single one that has any sort of cake in it whatsoever. I also did a google before posting my comment and not a single recipe I found had cake in it either. So I’m very sorry, but no, ice cream cake does not (typically) have cake in it.

            I voted pie too. It’s basically custard in a pie tin or crust. The other side was either hung up on the name, or determined eggs were the defining ingredient rather than flour.

      Up here, in Wyoming, it gets so cold and dry that if you don’t scrub the dead skin off your legs regularly, your skin will crack. It can get very painful.

      It’s ether wash or scrub, but for the entire body. What psycho scrubs the torso but not the legs or who washes the torso and scrubs the legs? You people are both weird.

          How rough of a scrubbing action does the skin want?

          …OK apparently not much, thought I might see washcloths recommended and so on

        From experience walking in long pants during June in Fort Lauderdale, legs can get bad. Sweat couldn’t evaporate, so the root of every hair on my legs got red, bumpy, and irritated. But I was working a job and had to dress according to their work code. I quit after less than a week. 0/0 do not recommend.

      I scrub my legs about 50 percent of the time. Doesn’t feel like they get as dirty as upper half. I do scrub my feet though.

    If this is bro saying he doesn’t wash his ass, or his worry is because he knows his ass is stanky, then I have no idea how she’s put up with him this long.

    it always starts with “be a dear and wash your ass,” then it moves on to “i need you to drive me to the hospital,” and “stop fucking my sister”

      That’s not the problem because you can just cuddle to warm up. The problem is when one of yous likes the water hotter than the other.

      This is the real reason to be scared. She’s gonna hog that hot water and he’s gonna freeze! Showering together seems so sexy and romantic in the movies but it’s actually just really awkward and uncomfortable!

      Maybe it’s better if you got some kind of rich person giant luxury shower! Wait, of course it’s better!

        The actual real threat is the temperature of the water.

        If there was a “guaranteed to mutilate, superheated water vapor” option some women I’ve known would choose it.

    If she wanted to wash your ass, she would have asked you to step outside and hosed you down with a garden hose with your clothes still on.
