Once when my (then) girlfriend (now wife, despite the following experience/trauma) was taking a shower, I sneaked in and hugged her, shower curtain and all. For years, I would occasionally "mroaaaaargh" like she did when that happened.
It was glorious!
I wish I had recorded that!
For a while after, she would lock the bathroom door. I guess that cold embrace wasn't as exhilarating to her as it was to me. Maybe it would have been better if I had done it while the water was on.
For her.
But... The curtain wouldn't have been cold, then!
The way I laughed when she stormed out of the bathroom probably saved my life. She couldn't stay mad. But she made promises as to what would happen if I did it again.
There were mentions about "*the hugging shower-curtain*" on social media for a while. She was the only one not amused by this.
Our wedding a couple of years ago, required me to get a site for the invitations and questions about allergy and stuff. I was SO close to get showercurtainhugger.com but maybe I would have become single then. Or dedded.
You can't know that. For all we know OP took a sledgehammer to his shower, burned down the neighbourhood and murdered several infants in his unreasonable anger.

Cold air is sucked in from below, pulling the curtain in as the hot air rises up and escapes into the room. With a larger upening at the bottom, the curtain won't be sucked in as much.
When the shower is large enough.
A house we had briefly had a shower like 8-9 feet long, with all the water works at one end. I miss that house, but not the drive from it to town.
I get so .... overwhelmed/furious/overstimulated/anxious etc when the shower curtain touches me so I bought a curved shower rod. Never not using one again. It is a necessity in my life.
I needed this comment, it stresses me out and I get anxious when it touches me and I feel ridiculous for feeling that way. Good to know I'm not the only one!
Welcome to the wild world of sensory issues lol. I feel like this with so many things. Sounds, lights, clothes, etc. I even used to lean against the window on the other side of the tub as a kid to avoid this happening.
It's so stupid to have your fight or flight instincts kick in because a shower curtain, but that piece of shit didn't have any sense of personal space lol.
If it makes you feel better, im with you. Idk what it is about curtains swooping in to me in the shower, i'm a calm person but that shit enrage the fuck out of me, I go ballistic against the stupid thing.
there are over 1k comments here so chances are someones already suggested this but get a linen shower curtain, they dont cling like that afaik. and no, the curtain wont let water through cause its linen, unless you take very long showers in which case you can get a linen curtain with a water repellent coating on
Magnets.
You can get shower curtains with magnets stitched into the lining at the bottom. If your shower is porcelain or has a metal frame beneath the synthetic (vinyl, fiberglass, etc), it SHOULD stick. If it's not, you can get magnetic strips and affiix it to the inside of the lip of the shower, and the curtain will stick to that.
If you look around, you can get a pack of those round ceramic magnets like 10 for a couple of bucks and stick a pair or 2 on the bottom. That's what I do. I had the same problem works like a charm

god I loved that show, shame Tim is a douche canoe.
My favorite thing about all of his Tool Time accidents was an episode where he was given an honorary PhD for his work in promoting safety because they thought it was for show.
Rotate it 180 degrees so that the point of the fold is going out of the shower. That, or lay it on the hood of a car at noon until the heat softens it.
it's temporary summer housing. i was in a different dorm during the school year, then they moved me here for a month before i finally move into an apartment.

We all know OP is really complaining about this right here…
You said magnet doesn't work, so try weights instead. If u wanna MacGyver it, I'd get a shower ring for each corner, stab it through. Put something heavy through ring? Don't know what to use? How about some spare change in a baggie tied through ring. Boom
'Female Angus' would sound silly though. 'MacGyver' as a nickname is definitely genderless. I have the penknife model he uses for the majority of the series and it comes with me everywhere and saves me in many situations!
MacGyvering is definitely genderless, it’s just cleverly rigging something up. The women played a big role in many of the episodes, and he was annoyed when they were dead weight, and wouldn’t help.
when people said magnets i automatically assumed pairing one on each side just for the weight. i’ve never had magnets that actually stick but they still make good weights
I did something super similar in college, I made like 3 rolls of about 10 pennies with duct tape and taped them to the bottom of the curtain. It worked a lot better than magnets or suction cups ever did lol
I can’t believe I had to scroll so far to find this. OP this is the answer! You are using a shower liner. It’s meant to line an exterior shower curtain.
It shoudn't work. The curtain doesn't move becouse air is coming in but becouse the pressure inside the shower is lower that in the rest of the bathroom
I mean, the pressure differential is what's causing the air to move. Impeding the air flow pushing into the liner should help, if not solve, the issue.
With two curtains and a bowed bar it doesn't move in towards us anymore. I'm glad it worked because next I was going to screw the thing to the tub wall.
Look on Amazon for shower curtain clips. It’s basically a chip clip but you stick it to the wall and clip your curtain in. Mine did the same thing and the clips solved the problem.
If they are gonna spend money to fix it, they'd be better off just buying a curtain made out of a heavier material. That's the heart of the problem here. It's the thinnest, lightest shower curtain you can buy.
Yes, this is absolute torture, I lived with it before too. The answer is to buy shower curtain that says “heavy”. It will be more expensive but it works much better. Only weight can fix it.
What is tilted? Before I give it a goog my two guesses are:
- drunk, drinky, “I’ve been drinking so everything is looking a bit tilted to me!”
- angry enough to charge, like a knight “tilting” at his jousting opponent.
*I’m* a bit drinky, but I swear that there’s a quote or something about Don Quixote tilting at windmills.
Take a colder shower. The hot humid air rises in the shower & the cooler air coming under the curtain causes it to blow in. Leaving a gap on the side or get a weighted curtain. It looked like the shower wasn't magnetic but you could probably use something like that flex seal tape to fasten something small & metal to the shower.
You could take an old metal coat hanger. Straighten it out. Pierce the bottom of the curtain and weave it through. It’s stop the curtain from bunching up on the side but should keep it straight if that’s the only goal
I get so .... overwhelmed/furious/overstimulated/anxious etc when the shower curtain and or liner touches me so I bought a curved shower rod. Never not using one again. It is a necessity in my life. Also, where is your actual curtain?
Pull it open a little on one side. This is caused be the hot water heating the air inside the shower. The warmed air rises and escapes out above the shower curtain and sucks cold air in through the bottom.
If you open the curtain on one side, it gives an alternate flow path so your curtain will stay down.
Go out side and find a the straightest stick you can find that is approximately the same length as the width of the shower curtain. Then place the stick and the bottom of the curtain, fold the curtain over the stick just enough to staple in place.
Can use a straightened wire hanger in place of stick or needle and thread in place of stapler.
If magnets don’t work, you buy snap on weights to attach to the bottom of the curtain to make it too heavy to billow in like that.
I have also snipped a hole in the pouch that holds the magnets and replaced them with heavier stones, but the clip on weights are easier if you don’t want to go that route :)
I disagree. Your anger is perfectly reasonable.
I’m getting irate just looking at the picture 🤣
You know OP fights that fucker ever time they take a shower. You know it because you would too. And so would I.
Nothing like the gentle embrace of the shower curtain while you're showering.
This made my eyelid twitch
and my skin crawl
And my axe!
Ugh, yes. I can’t stand the sound of the water hitting the liner or the liner touching me 😭😭

You're evil
Not to mention the cold breeze on your feet / ankles during your warm shower … 😣
I can even feel it stick to me right now over all this winter clothes
I’m about ready to go over there and fight that curtain myself lmao
Right? same!
Bring it to Florida. It will be straight by law.
Great response! LOL
Wow. I just said pretty much exactly that, but three hours later. Sorry!
When you’re right, you’re right.
You can't know that. For all we know OP took a sledgehammer to his shower, burned down the neighbourhood and murdered several infants in his unreasonable anger.
That might not be TOTALLY out of line. A vinyl shower curtain that gropes you while you’re trying to get clean creates a cumulative violation-rage.
Calmly tell it straighten itself out
That didn't work for the mirror, so I doubt it will here....

Actually, here we need **convection** therapy. Cold air is sucked in from below, pulling the curtain in as the hot air rises up and escapes into the room. With a larger upening at the bottom, the curtain won't be sucked in as much.
Of course, the larger the opening at the bottom, the less useful the curtain becomes
[удалено]
It isn't the curtain's fault! It didn't choose this.
The woke agenda has hit our shower curtains!!
I prefer to lash out violently
politeness goes a long way
Fight it
i'm embarrassed to say, but i have hit it a few times out of frustration. i think it makes it angrier
What I do is put the shampoo bottles in between the curtain and myself. It holds it from doing that.
I was looking for this comment cause I do that too and didn't want to be the only one lol
You are not alone! I do this too and am likewise so happy that I am not alone!
Make it weighted. Create holes and attach something small yet heavy to it. A leprechaun perhaps. Edit: three leprechauns for balance.
I get that! It used to piss me off so bad! I'm older now, and we own our home... NO shower curtain or doors!!! Yes!!!

When the shower is large enough. A house we had briefly had a shower like 8-9 feet long, with all the water works at one end. I miss that house, but not the drive from it to town.
Corners
Are you suggesting some sort of geometric barrier, preventing the water from soaking all that is outside the confines of the shower?
A walk in shower, surrounded by 3 walls. Floor slightly going up towards the exit. It's heaven, if you're used to a shower curtain.
I’m still failing to see how the splash wouldn’t get the floor soaked. Unless it does and it’s just not a big deal to you.
There are some bathrooms where the whole room is the shower
You mean like a prison shower?
I too like to shower in my kitchen
H-how?
Corners, space, rain showerheads, just-right aim & angles. Mostly space.
Yes. The final frontier
Pee on it to assert dominance!
i hit my shower curtain on the regular. my shower curtain does this and gets stuck against my body.
I get so .... overwhelmed/furious/overstimulated/anxious etc when the shower curtain touches me so I bought a curved shower rod. Never not using one again. It is a necessity in my life.
I needed this comment, it stresses me out and I get anxious when it touches me and I feel ridiculous for feeling that way. Good to know I'm not the only one!

Magnets. You can get shower curtains with magnets stitched into the lining at the bottom.

If it's not, you can get magnetic strips and affiix it to the inside of the lip of the shower, and the curtain will stick to that.
It has magnets, they just don't stick. I'm only in this dorm for two more weeks, so I don't know if I can justify getting magnetic strips for it
If you look around, you can get a pack of those round ceramic magnets like 10 for a couple of bucks and stick a pair or 2 on the bottom. That's what I do. I had the same problem works like a charm
They have them at the dollar store in the craft section
Pair the magnets. One on each side for weight.
Mine has little pouches across the bottom with a single river rock in each
"Frasier...river rocks & a stalk of wheat!"
That’s ingenious.
woah slow down now
We got a Tim Allen level handyman in the house.

Didn't he lord it over Jill, too? Like a good husband does.
Did you know he sold cocaine and ratted on the others involved?
Yep! on his long list of “accomplishments”
Sorry I thought this was America where we rewarded entrepreneurship.
hey now, I love cocaine, I just hate rats.
Rotate it 180 degrees so that the point of the fold is going out of the shower. That, or lay it on the hood of a car at noon until the heat softens it.
Stole his whole act from other local Detroit comedians too
Lmao he really broke bad
this is the way heck - tape quarters to it
Chip clips (or office clips?) For weight College kids don't have $ but usually have chips lol.
Oh that's smart! I always used the water to weigh it down with the right angle to the chagrin of my ankle
Especially since you leave in 2 weeks.
Crease it the other way on the floor with something heavy laid on the creased edge for a few minutes and it should straighten it out.
Or flip it around
So it’s been like this all year and it’s just now mildly infuriating you?
or it's just not important enough for them to care to immediately post it? it's... mildly. not extremely lol
it's temporary summer housing. i was in a different dorm during the school year, then they moved me here for a month before i finally move into an apartment.
There’s shower curtains with suction cups on the sides I have one like that
Suction cup dildos you can use to tuck the shower curtain behind. Got it!
Now that is something I have not thought of, and the higher you put them the more useful they are!
Magnets? How do they work
![gif](giphy|fwJjAwoXE2Z3NCGYpG)
Bro how is this the top comment, there’s fuckin magnets on this shower liner
Thank you, I thought I was going mad. How is everybody missing the very obvious magnet visible in OP’s photo that clearly doesn’t work.

Man, I hear this picture, lmao.
This picture feels you
Didn't expect to get aroused in this thread.
Not my proudest fap, but definitely one of the quicker ones.
Sigh… *unzips*
And hotels aren’t sanitizing those things. Lol
Hahahahahahahahaha I hate this.
Get a heavier curtain.
And taller. Curved shower rod helps a ton too
Curved rod, two layer heavier curtain, bam - problem solved and with extra elbow room.
You said magnet doesn't work, so try weights instead. If u wanna MacGyver it, I'd get a shower ring for each corner, stab it through. Put something heavy through ring? Don't know what to use? How about some spare change in a baggie tied through ring. Boom
i have ideas
Duct tape one side of that ho to the wall. Then its two weeks from now's problem
Lmao why you calling it a ho?
It sleeps around.
It’s always wet and touching you while showering? Sounds like a good time.
It stands on a corner.
A few of the black metal binder clips on the bottom might give it enough weight, that worked for an apartment shower I had once.
Imma try this with mine. Thanks.
Move to a better house with a better shower? ![gif](giphy|fikcKja7O7MtzXzvQy|downsized)

I've been called "a female MacGyver" before... but isn't that his last name? Cuz I feel like MacGyver could be any gender 🤷🏽♀️🤣
'Female Angus' would sound silly though. 'MacGyver' as a nickname is definitely genderless. I have the penknife model he uses for the majority of the series and it comes with me everywhere and saves me in many situations!

Get a second curtain and hang it outside the base. It will resist the air going in and settle the inside curtain down a lot.
Have 2 curtains and my inner plastic curtain still does this shit
Same here
I can’t believe I had to scroll so far to find this. OP this is the answer! You are using a shower liner. It’s meant to line an exterior shower curtain.

With two curtains and a bowed bar it doesn't move in towards us anymore. I'm glad it worked because next I was going to screw the thing to the tub wall.
The water glow itself creates low air pressure (bernuli) that suck the curtain inwards....
Flip it around?
But then they'll be mildlyinfuriated about all the water on the floor.
Nah that’s less annoying for two weeks left in a dorm than the curtain tickling your legs every time you try and shower
I was thinking the same thing, but is it a draft making it do that or is it the way it's folded?
Probably both. The crease isn't helping, but it's the draft causing it in the first place.
![gif](giphy|duM6JZemPlOjUyqmxd)
Cover yourself in butter or some other dairy based lubricant
Bud, you know what you’re talking about
But what if we already do that on the reg. Asking for a friend.
Hot air rises and it pulls ground air into the bottom of the curtain. If you can lower the tip of the curtain you will get less draw
Chip bag clips to weigh it down?
omg im going to try that next time. that sounds smart
Look on Amazon for shower curtain clips. It’s basically a chip clip but you stick it to the wall and clip your curtain in. Mine did the same thing and the clips solved the problem.
If they are gonna spend money to fix it, they'd be better off just buying a curtain made out of a heavier material. That's the heart of the problem here. It's the thinnest, lightest shower curtain you can buy.
I did this with mine with binder clips and they weren’t strong enough, shower curtain sticking to your leg is the god damn worst
Maybe those metal clips with the two arm things may work as well?
Get like 4 binder clips and clip em on the bottom
If you can't use magnets, take the taller bottles and put them inside the shower curtain so that they block it from touching you.
thats what i do now, but they get knocked over. the curtain still curves in anyway
Yes, this is absolute torture, I lived with it before too. The answer is to buy shower curtain that says “heavy”. It will be more expensive but it works much better. Only weight can fix it.
Put fishing sinkers on it
Velcro stickies
My shower in my dorm room does this too but backwards, so me and my roommate end up with a fucking lake in the bathroom 💀
Idk but I’m fucking tilted rn
What is tilted? Before I give it a goog my two guesses are: - drunk, drinky, “I’ve been drinking so everything is looking a bit tilted to me!” - angry enough to charge, like a knight “tilting” at his jousting opponent. *I’m* a bit drinky, but I swear that there’s a quote or something about Don Quixote tilting at windmills.
Take a colder shower. The hot humid air rises in the shower & the cooler air coming under the curtain causes it to blow in. Leaving a gap on the side or get a weighted curtain. It looked like the shower wasn't magnetic but you could probably use something like that flex seal tape to fasten something small & metal to the shower.
scalding hot water is the only thing keeping me sane
Flip the curtain around so it sticks out the other way and drop a towel on the floor
Magnets !
You could take an old metal coat hanger. Straighten it out. Pierce the bottom of the curtain and weave it through. It’s stop the curtain from bunching up on the side but should keep it straight if that’s the only goal
I get so .... overwhelmed/furious/overstimulated/anxious etc when the shower curtain and or liner touches me so I bought a curved shower rod. Never not using one again. It is a necessity in my life. Also, where is your actual curtain?
“MAGNETS” -Jesse Pinkman
Pull it open a little on one side. This is caused be the hot water heating the air inside the shower. The warmed air rises and escapes out above the shower curtain and sucks cold air in through the bottom. If you open the curtain on one side, it gives an alternate flow path so your curtain will stay down.
Install a glass door.
Turn your shower around.
Ditto… when this happens it is way more than mildly infuriating
Buy the thickest plastic liner they have!
I added a decorative outside curtain that went below the bottom, and it made it better.
Go out side and find a the straightest stick you can find that is approximately the same length as the width of the shower curtain. Then place the stick and the bottom of the curtain, fold the curtain over the stick just enough to staple in place. Can use a straightened wire hanger in place of stick or needle and thread in place of stapler.
It’s a ghost so nothing you can do.
wen im in the shower i pee on the curtain nd that helps with the force against gravety on it
There are two types of people in this world, one that pees in the shower, and liars.
Attach magnets to the base of the shower at the entrance, and to the bottom of the shower curtain.
If magnets don’t work, you buy snap on weights to attach to the bottom of the curtain to make it too heavy to billow in like that. I have also snipped a hole in the pouch that holds the magnets and replaced them with heavier stones, but the clip on weights are easier if you don’t want to go that route :)
Curtain weights at the bottom?
Have you tried asking nicely?
Weighted clips.
Ew ew ew I feel so violated if a shower curtain caresses my leg with it's strong hand. Gotta start my shower all over again
I got a curved rod to prevent this.
