A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

I think op is drowning in the shower

The clock hand placement for 11:19 is the reverse of 3:55. I assume OP’s workday ends at 4 PM.

Someone call 911 OP is having a stroke.

Less apparent with this one (I just used a clock face generator), but if the hour hand was longer as is the case with some clocks, it would look a LOT like 5 minutes till 4:00. I'm assuming OP's shift ends at 4:00 PM.

Analog clock displaying 11:19

Thank you. Makes perfect sense now.

Clearly taking the 25 or 6 to 4 approach of writing a title

Staring blindly into space

So much like 5:00 a.m. ? Right ... Asking the real question here. Procrastination.

If I'm following correctly, 11:19AM seems like it's a long ways off from 5PM when you haven't even had your lunch break yet. But then 4:00PM rolls around and THE FINAL COUNTDOWN starts where you only have ONE HOUR left in your workday.

I dunno, that's just my interpretation. Just riffing at this point.

Ummm...

Sometimes they don't think it be like it is, but it do.
