wouldn’t be a problem -

if she was in there with you, dingus

There will be plenty of choices.

She has a lot of friends…

A friend was taking a bath and on the phone with his dad. His dad asked “What are you doing?”

My friend said he was taking a bath.

“Alone?” asked his father.

“Yes”, answered my friend.

“Your own fault”, retorted his father.

Hopefully, when he does find the shampoo it’s not scented.

This is very much a reality, perhaps not quite as many bottles as shown here but certainly many more than you are used to. You will never know the purpose of most of them either.

It is said that the average man has about 6 things on his bathroom shelf. The average woman has about 35, only 7 or 8 of which a man can identify.

you will never shower alone

Meanwhile back in the bedroom, she’s cleaning out your wallet!

Difficulty level increases at “Marriage” Level

It’s a morning at the girlfriends house, so it’s already a win.

You could always BYOB of your preferred shampoo, meatball!

It appears that there is a body wash there for the left arm, one for the right arm, one for the left leg, one for….

That’s the issue with a lot of hotels. All the bottles look the same. It didn’t matter 40 years ago when I didn’t need glasses, but now …

It’s a worse problem in the pharmaceutical business. In the interest of marketing and branding some drug companies put all their medication in identical packaging.

I have a similar issue with the medications I get mailed to me. The first thing I do is get a sharpie and write on the label in letters big enough to read without glasses “AM” or “PM.”

It’s not hard to find the shampoo at my place.

It’s a much bigger problem for me now that I need reading glasses. When I’m at a hotel or someone else’s house, I have to go into the shower with the water off and my glasses on.

Yet another reason not to live together before marriage. But even so – Shampoo? Who needs shampoo? You’re a guy. Just use the bar soap. A felt need for anything more is nothing more than the result of a successful marketing scheme.

It wasn’t that long ago that a comic like this would have drawn the ire of many religious groups, some political parties and most in an older generation. Now it’s just the red hat group that want to tell you not to sleep over at your girlfriends, while actually doing it themselves.

For forty two years my wife has yet to find the “just right” shampoo. I, how ever, have inherited a life time supply of her unwanted shampoo.

When it comes to women’s hair products, he’s wet behind the ears.

I’ve got soap and shampoo. She’s got all that other stuff.

I can only fantasize about waking up and taking a shower at the girlfriend’s house.

He’s definitely hoping to find shampoo, not real poo.

Good one!. I only have 4 or 5 bottles in the shower and I still grab the wrong one sometimes, lol.

Usually 50% are shampoos and 50% are conditioners. The other 50% are skin conditioning shower condiments. :)

As a female, I will never understand this. I have a bottle of shampoo and a bottle of conditioner in my shower. I have a body wash I got for Christmas (that I don’t us often but is almost gone) and a bar of soap. What else do you need????

There’s got to be a shampoo for every co dition possible. But you’ll come out smelling like a rose. Snicker.
