I live in the driest continent on the planet. Forty. Minute. Showers. WTF EVEN. We're presently talking about (self-)limiting shower time down to 5 minutes in public discourse - pratically unheard of. There are towns that run out of water by the end of the year and they've been bucket washing for the last three.

FORTY FUCKING MINUTES.

Around here, that would be a 100% valid reason to kill a guest, even your in-laws. There's not a jury in the country that would convict you! Deadset. They'd all just nod their heads and say, "Well, 40 minute showers, what else could LW do? Totally justified." The farmers would probably happily take the body and bury it on their land - at least there'd be water in the ground as the corpse decomposed!

I am flabbergasted.

Also: does spouse not have an opinion on their parents' water usage? Or does spouse possibly not have a spine?
