something hiding in the shower?
I can’t use the bathroom (even my own) without checking to make sure no one is hiding in the shower.

i am neurotic


I do it too, I’m scared someone is hiding in there, so they can jump out and kill me. It’s the perfect spot to hide!
I do this too. In fact, I usually just leave the shower curtain open so I can see who is (or isn’t) in there when I go in. I’ve had “friends” scare my by hiding in the shower…I also generally will buy clear shower curtains so that if they’re closed I can still see in.
Unless it’s a shower with a door…then I just leave it open. Hey… look…I’m not afraid of rambling, am I?
I always do this when I am in the shower! I am looking for people hiding or spiders or cameras……
Man, and I thought this was just me. I don’t know why I do it, because if someone/something were hiding in the shower, the light coming through the window would cast a shadow on the wall…
i do that too! we have glass doors at my house, but when i was in college i had to always leave the shower curtain open. my roommate thought i was nuts
ME TOO. Wow. I’m so happy. Haha. I thought I was the only one. This is so awesome. When I come into the bathroom, I throw open the shower curtain as quickly as possible just so that I’d have like the element of surprise or something.
I do that, and I have to close the curtain if it is open when I walk into the bathroom because there is a window behind it and there could be someone watching me
Oh wow! I do this everytime I enter into my bathroom. I never thought this as neurotic until I read this post. I always think that someone is hiding behind the curtain. You think I would just leave the shower curtain open, but I can’t do that because I can’t have any other person see what products I use in the shower (neurotic trait #2).
I once read about someone who was using the bathroom while playing hide and seek & one of their friends popped out of the shower and scared them. Now I can’t use the bathroom without looking behind the curtain first (even though I’m not playing hide & seek). So happy it’s not just me!
At my house I always leave the shower curtain open. If I’m at someone else’s house, when I use the bathroom if the curtain is closed, I sneak up and throw it open expecting to find someone in there. There never is, but it creeps me out not being able to see.
Same here. Even when the shower curtain’s just partially closed, I have to pull it all the way back, make sure there’s absolutely nothing. =)
I did this for about a year when I was in like 3rd or 4th grade. I thought some vampire bat from a cartoon movie was out to get me, but he would only hide in the shower, logically.
me too … and night especially, i always excpect a ‘zombie witch’ to be lurking behind it.
im actually losing this neurosis because i have a way crappy curtain that if it remains open for prolonged periods it gets mold on it, so i have to leave it closed……but then again, i now start opening it, checking it, and then closing it again =/
I do that sometimes….. it is a neurosis brought on by Hitchcock’s Psycho movie with Janet Leigh.
oh my god.
you too?
i’ve never seen psycho, but sometimes i feel like something’s behind the curtain and if i don’t look, it will kill me. if i have to turn my back to it for any reason, i sing or talk to myself so that if something appeared there, it won’t be able to get me
Yeah I can’t stand curtains in my shower. No matter where I go I have to look.
