Woman says her partner accused her of wasting water after a 26-minute shower — and her statement about the accusations is going viral
The woman, who says she and her partner live together, detailed their argument in a post on the ReAmITheA—— subreddit.
The original poster (OP) describes herself as a “female with longer thick hair” who was in the middle of a “full body shower” which included “washing, conditioning hair, shaving, washing body, face”, said her partner “lost the crap out of of how long I was in the shower.”

“My partner said they ran the sink the whole time I was in the shower and asked if I noticed how much water was used then,” the woman recalled. “I asked how I could hear that running while I was in the shower.” To which her partner replied, “Exactly.”
She calculated the shower time based on the length of her playlist, which she says totaled 26 minutes.
