In the wake of LA Mayor's Antonio Villaraigosa signing into law numerous measures to save water, I decided a week ago to stop taking showers. In the interest of science, I gauged the following reactions by coworkers.
Day one: Genuine belly laughs received upon hearing my plan.
Day two: Curious expressions while passing me, as if to say: "What's that smell?"
Day three: Mild coughing followed by expressions that seemed to evoke the words: "Good God, you're serious, aren't you?"
Day four: Vexation and palpable disdain.
Day five: Poorly-veiled hostility, flagrant at times and coupled with vulgarity, accompanied by firm albeit "accidental" shoves.
Day six: Outright violence, resulting in bruises and abrasions.
Day seven: Genuine belly laughs received from others in the unemployment line.
