My parents were concerned about water usage and so banned baths. I, a stubborn teenager, just started using the dangling shower head instead of the bath tap to fill the tub. Presumably they knew, but they never called me on it.
Bathing as a teenager, I wasn't overly concerned about cleanliness or speed. I was more worried about hot water and laying down for a bit longer in the morning.
Now, as an adult, I haven't had a bath in several years. I've thought about it; standing, for me, is hard because I'm obese and have an old ankle injury that was repaired incorrectly. However, ultimately, I always end up going for the shower - because, as you said, it's more efficient - then trembling on the bed for ten minutes until my ankle recovers.
I agree, though. For effectiveness, go for a shower. For luxury, a bath might be appropriate.
This shower thought is pretty much the basis of Archimedes principle. The upwards force of buoyancy is equal and opposite to the weight of the displaced fluid. Just imagine an empty bathtub floating in the lake. Now imagine the tub in the bathroom filled to the same level that the lake tub was submerged. The force keeping the lake tub floating and the force of the weight of the bathroom tub (including the weight of the tub) are the same.
Huh, I just went looking for stock images to show this and til that apparently historical accounts say that the principle was discovered in the bathtub.
Also you would be making love in water versus merely close to it. Coffee compared to either would be unsatisfactory. At best coffee that is like â makân love ina canoeâ is still âfukin near waterâ.

I think I would like a bathroom that is also a keep. Think of the privacy!

Two bathrooms or one giant one. Two, unless it really is a keep!

I just think bathing is a waste of time. I just want want to clean myself quickly and get out, I have better things to do.

A dam is the opposite of a swimming pool⌠maybe. Are you trying to keep water in or out?

A canoe with stabilizers in many cases. Not very good ones though., lots of drag, and a possibility of detriment to making water splash into the boat.
