Wow, so it's not just me, huh? I absolutely hate feeling dirty and greasy, but I have so much trouble getting myself to take a shower to get clean. I can't explain it, I just...I want to, but I DON'T want to. On work days, where I have limited time in the morning and don't want to offend my coworkers, I have an easier time with getting up and immediately getting in the shower. But on weekends, or, like now, when I'm unemployed, it's a huge ordeal to get myself to take a shower. "Ok, I'm going to take a shower in 15 minutes." Fifteen minutes later "Ehhhh you know, 15 more minutes, then I really will." Then, once I finally go in and start the water running, I always find an excuse to come back out of the shower and delay actually getting in and under the running water for another five minutes or so. I'll suddenly "need" to go into the living room to tell my wife something.

It's really more amusing than anything else. It makes both myself and my wife laugh how hard it is for me to shower. It's not distressing to me. But it is definitely weird. And I find it really intriguing that it's apparently not at all uncommon.
