It seems to be really difficult for people in entertainment media to actually finish a bath or shower. The phone or doorbell rings, somebody bursts in on them, or they die. In part, this is due to the Law of Conservation of Detail. The only reason to show somebody doing something as mundane as bathing is because something narratively important is going to happen during that bath — unless it's just for the Fanservice, or on occasion if it's a Slice of Life work. This trope is usually played for laughs when it's not a Deadly Bath; a bath is supposed to be relaxing and being naked is embarrassing, which makes the addition of stress and/or visitors all the more annoying for the character (and therefore funnier for the audience). This trope often coexists with the Candlelit Bath, since the extensive setup increases the comedy or drama value of ruining the whole thing. Subtrope of the Bathtub Scene or Shower Scene. Super-Trope to the "Psycho" Shower Murder Parody. Examples of fatal bathtime interruptions can go on Deadly Bath. The rest go here. |

Zoey 101: In "Webcam", the girls get back at Logan for secretly taping them by staging a scene where they knock out Kazu. When Logan watches the scene on his computer, he retrieves Dean Rivers from his shower and takes him to the girls' dorm, only to see that everything's fine and that he just exposed his scheme. An infuriated Rivers then takes him to his office for interrupting his shower for nothing. | |

In Ranma ½, this happens to the titular character Ranma when he takes a bath at the Tendo's household. Due to him being a Gender Bender whose physical sex changes when he comes in contact with either hot or cold water, the bath turns him from female to male. Akane, who has gotten to know him in "girl-form", walks in on him as he's about to get out of the tub, and promptly freaks out about a "stranger" in their bathroom. | |

Lucky Luke: Ballad of the Daltons: The Daltons (and Lucky Luke) are Crossing the Desert to kill Native American shaman Snake Feather. When they reach his tepee and order him out, they hear Snake Feather complains that he's his bath... in the middle of a Thirsty Desert with no water for miles. He comes out wearing a towel. The shaman can apparently do the Rain Dance whenever he needs it, so water isn't a problem for him. | |

Two Mickey MouseWorks shorts (both of which were repackaged as part of House of Mouse) used the trope of someone being interrupted while bathing. The short "Daisy's Big Sale" opens with Minnie coming out of her shower to answer a phone call from Daisy. In the short "Hydrosquirter", Ludwig Von Drake modifies his shower and accidentally turns it into a teleportation machine, resulting in an awkward situation when he hears a truck outside the tub and walks out to find himself in the middle of a busy street intersection. |

The website Television Without Pity had the often-used phrase "God is in the tub." This phrase was typically used in association with contestants on reality shows such as Survivor or The Amazing Race praying to God to help them in getting ahead on the show, the idea being that doing so is like interrupting your mother when she's trying to take a bath. Praying to God for a safe flight to the next leg of the race, or to calm your fears before a task? Okay. Praying that you beat the other teams? Not okay. | |

In the next scene, she's ranting to Zac about how showering is impossible now that her legs turn into a fish tail every time water touches her. For his part, Zac has given up on baths after becoming a merman. | |

In one comic of Schlock Mercenary, Schlock is preparing to take a bath. The comic asks the reader to note the key differences as he prepares a variety of Noodle Implements (some of which make sense if you're familiar with Schlock) as bathing implements. Then it asks the readers to note the key similarities as the PA system sounds an alarm right as Schlock's getting in. | |

In OSMU: Fanfiction Friction, this trope drives the plot of Chapter 4. After helping Precinct 13579's agents in gathering blobs, Oren, Oswald, Oscar and Owen all head down to the Shower Room to clean themselves off. However, the showers they're using teleport agents to random places, and it just so happens that they teleport the boys to the Lab in full view of everyone who walks by, and in full view of Oona, Olympia, Orla, Opal and Omar. Oswald is the only one aware of this, however, and has a Naked Freak-Out, beginning to be on the verge of a panic attack, while Oscar, Oren and Owen are unaware up until the showers teleport them back. It's one entire Take That! aimed at one person in particular on Deviantart, who is known for writing stories involving naked agents. | |

Blondie (1930) One of the strip's running gags involves Dagwood being interrupted while he's in the tub, usually by phone calls, repairmen, or neighbor kid Elmo. Not even Blondie herself is immune. After launching her catering business, an arrogant bridezilla charges into the Bumstead home to make changes to the reception menu while Blondie is naked and aghast in the tub. |

The door isn't locked, so if you so choose, you can just barge right in and endure her "What the Hell, Hero?" reaction.

In Tintin, Captain Haddock once had to answer a phone call while in his bath. Hearing the ringing, he first put the shower on his ear like a receiver. | |

Get Smart. 99 is relaxing in a bubble bath when she gets an Avengers Assemble call from the Chief. A Reveal Shot then shows she's posing for a photographer, who objects in vain about her walking out on him. So the photographer asks another woman if she wants to hop in the tub. Cue a camera pan up the long legs...of the photographer's middle-aged mother. She refuses, naturally. | |

Horatio Hornblower has one in Commodore. A sail is sighted while he’s showering on deck, and the ensuing situation demands so much of his attention that he forgets he’s nude. None of his subordinates comment on this, so it’s over an hour before he finally realizes he should put some clothes on. | |

In the Heroes of Olympus book The Son Of Neptune, Hazel used an Iris message, a magical equivalent of a video call, to Reyna while she was in the bath. Because it's a Greek form of magical communication and Reyna is a Roman demigod more used to physical messages like scrolls, this scares the heck out of her, though Frank (who was the Switching P.O.V. character this time) doesn't see this. | |

In the She-Ra: Princess of Power episode "Flowers for Hordak", Mantenna, perpetual Butt-Monkey of the Evil Horde, is called into Hordak's throne room over an issue, as per the norm. This time, he was in the middle of a shower, so he's dripping wet and only in a shower cap and Modesty Towel. Hordak's more irritated over the fact he's dripping water on the floor, and sends him down the trapdoor, as always. | |

Subverted in one Judge Dredd story: two criminals break into an apartment, only to realize it's Dredd's, who's in the bath. He proceeds to neutralize them without getting out of the tub, because it's been far too long since he had one (as opposed to a shower). | |

Doctor Who: In "The Lodger", the Doctor, having been separated from the TARDIS and staying in a flat, is taking a shower when his flatmate Craig mentions through the door that he's going to see the mysterious, sinister upstairs neighbour that the Doctor is investigating. When the Doctor realizes what Craig's going to do, thereby putting himself in danger, he jumps out of the shower in a hurry and goes to help, wearing a towel and wielding... Craig's electric toothbrush, grabbed by accident instead of the sonic screwdriver. | |

Wash keeps doing it to Zoe so he can see her naked outline through the shower's opaque glass (he's not dumb enough to step in with her) in the pre-series Firefly fic Baobei. The only reason Zoe doesn’t shoot him is because she’s falling for him and just hasn’t admitted it yet. | |

Star Trek: Voyager In the episode "Q2", Q intrudes on Captain Janeway enjoying a bath by teleporting into the tub, annoying her greatly. In "Drone", the holographic Doctor wakes up B'Elanna Torres with a Video Phone call, then after she goes into the shower and undresses, tries to continue the conversation via the Video Phone there. She throws her Modesty Towel over the screen. |

Friends A whole episode is based on this in "The One Where Chandler Takes A Bath", where Chandler's baths are continuously interrupted to increasing comedic effect, resulting in a borderline Stateroom Sketch. An earlier episode sees Chandler and Monica sharing a bath in Chandler's apartment when Joey comes home and knocks on the bathroom door. Since Joey doesn't know about their Secret Relationship yet Monica has to hide under the water until he leaves. |
