Its not about money, though i am sure i will see the difference in my bill with this guy around, and though i told him about laundry, i am not going to tell him how many showers a day he can take. Its about a behaviour that makes no sense to people who dont have OCD. He washes his absolutely clean and freshly washed body every few hours.Between second and third shower there is hardly 4 hours. Nothing can convinse me that its not obsessive behavior. And it is a huge waste of water to run shower 1 hour a day.
While I have met many people who shower a lot and clearly donāt have OCD, people with OCD are protected from discrimination under the Americans With Disabilities Act.

Oh noā¦what happens if the other guest rats him out for excessive laundry usage? Mr OCD is going to know he was tattled onā¦lol!
Do you think he has a sweat or body odor issueā¦and he keeps it at bay by showering that often? If he still smells fresh when he comes home in the afternoonā¦then I would say he does not have any kind of body issue. If he can go 10 hours at work without showering and still smells freshā¦it does seem odd to then take 2 additional showers within a few hours.
Is he going to dinner with a lady, and then going to back to her place to get busyā¦then he feels he needs to shower again?? - lol. He would have to be getting lucky every single night.
Thatās wasting water no matter how you look at it. I would talk to him and tell him the showering is excessive. Itās disrespectful.
I do not know if he has a girlfriend, he is fliritng with me at the moment, hehehe.
He actually smells very good,uses expensive perfume.
He has a very monotonus schedule. I know exactly what he is doing every day. he comes home every day at 5, and within seconds i hear water running, then he goes to his room and stays there till 7:30,then he goes for dinner, back at 9 pm, and shower again. Then at 10:30 lights are out.SO, you can see how i never see him at all, only hear his showers

My mom lives in Dana Point ā where most of the neighborhood has converted to xeriscape drought-tolerant plants due to the ongoing droughtāand if I showered for 20 minutes three times a day (an hour total) like Yanaās guests, my mom wouldnāt be happy.
Maybe heās a gigolo and engineer is just his cover job. He wants to be clean for all his clients?
Thatās probably me using my imagination too much. OCD is more likely.
Neh, he is not cute enough for a gigolo hehe

Cleaning.
But it is also the best part because I used to be a lot more depressed because I was always worried about how dirty my house was. The depression left me not caring. However, I need the money that I get from hosting, so necessity made me clean the house. And honestly, Iām so much happier. Lol it helped my depression!!! And I sure have learned a lot about how to clean efficiently and cheaply. Itās been kind of a pain but not really a big deal.

20 mins 3 xās a day is just wasteful regardless on water supplies/power costs. My kids would love such long showers but we have a 5 min rule and after that I switch off the hot water. Funny how a quick blast of cold gets them to change that habit.
Sounds like heās becoming too familiar in all areas!. Iād update that list and tell him if he canāt abide by them he has to go.

Wowā¦ Iām so glad I operate a separate whole house listing. Otherwise, I would be sensitive to peopleās habits such as how many times they shower, for how many minutes, and what they do in there. And whether they put their shoes away, whether they eat in the kitchen or not, etc.
People from different parts of the world just have different daily habits. Some may not correspond to my habits. And thatās just fine. I think itās just part of hosting. You can either set a price that is worth it for you to put up with these little irritations, or you can stop becoming irritated by these things, or just donāt host! If I operated a shared house listing, of course I would set some ground rules, but I would not want to be too restrictive because hey, they are our guests and they are on vacation.
