Shower thoughts are those random, often profound, ideas that pop into our heads when we’re doing something as mundane as taking a shower. When our minds are free from distractions, they wander into unexplored corners, creating strange, funny, or even brilliant revelations. 💭

We’ve gathered a list of some miniature epiphanies that may (or may not) make your MONDAY-NE more amazing.

  1. Normally you empty your drink from the top, but when you use a straw you empty it from the bottom.
  2. If James Bond is the most famous spy, wouldn’t that also make him the worst spy?
  3. Nothing is on fire. Fire is on things.
  4. How do our brains remember that we forgot something, but we can’t remember what that thing was?
  5. “Go to bed, you’ll feel better in the morning” is the human version of “Did you turn it off and turn it back on again?”
  6. When my dog brings me the same toy, I wonder if it’s his favourite toy or if he thinks it is my favourite toy.
  7. Every broken clock tells you the exact time it passed away. 
  8. Most people pull their phones out of their pockets to check the time. We are reverting to the era of pocket watches.
  9. Biting your tongue while eating is a perfect example of how you can still screw up, even with decades of experience. 
  10. They don’t let you smile in passport photos because they want you to look the same as if you were standing in line at customs for an hour.

So… which one are you still thinking about?

These fleeting, quirky reflections offer a unique way of looking at the world, or just, realising how the world really works. So, the next time a random idea pops up mid-shampoo, don’t WASH it off, let your creative juices flow! It could be a spark of brilliance, or even better, a good laugh! 🚿
