I think this is funny! I take baths and showers, do my hair, makeup, brush my teeth and use the toilet in the mornings too! I don't need a clock to keep me on schedule. I know exactly how much time it takes me to do these things. It's a routine. I wake up exactly one hour before I need to leave my house. I'm in the bathroom approximately 15 minutes after I wake up. I'm out the front door and driving down the street exactly 45 minutes after I entered the bathroom. It's been like that for decades. Never needed a clock.
It takes me exactly 20 minutes to bath or shower. I put my makeup on as soon as I get out while my hair is still in a towel (it goes on better with damp skin). The I comb out my long hair so it can slightly air dry while get dressed. It takes 10 minutes to dress. After being dressed, I head in and dry my hair. It takes 5 minutes. Put on my shoes, grab my purse and I'm out the door. No clock needed. CONGRATULATIONS!
It boggles my mind that people have no clue how long it takes them to do something they do every day of their lives.
Well, perhaps some might want to get into the Genius Book of Records for ....(to be filled in by your imagination).
No, I do not. Could probably use one though. Whenever I use Nair, I have to bring my cell phone into the bathroom with me to make sure I leave it on for the correct amount of time. Probably more than you wanted to know, right!?!!
No clocks. I can keep track of time while I'm in the bathroom; if there's any question, a clock is just a few steps away.

Just wish we could order pizza from anywhere in the house even the bathroom but we are too far away and nobody delivers anything to the house. Sigh!
Like Coldjensen, we collect antique clocks so there is an old ship's clock in the bathhouse. It doesn't strike ship's time, though, the one that does that is over near the computer desk for some reason. In the toilet room is another clock and there are clocks all over the place. Not that they are ever all at the same time. Once we had nine cuckoo clocks synchronized, that was bedlam! Fun, but noisy.
I suppose we don't really need a clock in the bath house, he's got his internet connection for his laptop (one of these days he is gonna drop that thing in the tub) and the TV is also in there if he really needed to know the accurate time. Plus the cell phone, too.
I've always had a clock in the master bathroom. Then I would always no how much time I had while getting ready for work. I have a decorative clock on the wall above the vanity mirror. It look really pretty.
We have them in both bathrooms and will have one in the second upstairs as well when it's done. Same reason. When we're getting ready to go some place I can peek out of the shower and see how much longer I have to relax and enjoy the hot water before I have to force myself to be a responsible adult and finish getting ready!
I'm so freaking jealous!!! Hubby and I talked about having a TV installed in the new house when we build it. Master bathroom, directly across from the soaking tub. Bubble bath, glass of wine and a good movie and I could easily kill a couple hours every day!
