People in Britain call the bathroom shower their calm oasis, where they think about everything from family meals to weekend trips.

Half of people in a survey said their morning shower is the only quiet time they get all day, so for atleast 22 seconds under the nozzle of a bath that lasts an average of 9 minutes, they end up pondering about the day's workload, what to wear, and what to serve kids for breakfast.

Tina Simpson, of Triton Showers - which conducted the poll - said that for many people, the brief time in the shower is the only time they really spend on their own, so it's logical that they spend quite a bit of time mulling things over, the Daily Express reported.
