A 93 minute bathing process probably doesn't mean 93 minutes of continuous water usage. A sensible person turns things off while scrubbing then turns on to rinse etc. It probably also includes other elements of morning ablutions.

And when was the last time Hannelore was described as a sensible person?
--- End quote ---
Hannelore is very sensible, if a bit excessive and obsessive.
To be precise, there is always a sense behind what she does or thinks, even if it is not something that an ordinary person would consider.
To add to this, carefully avoiding wasting excess water is exactly the sort of thing an OCD person might do. If you have developed a precise bathing ritual that is followed to the letter, there is no reason that wouldn't include the repeated turning on and off of the shower.

Which may involve headphones and scented candles...

BenRG:
Someone as hyper-organised as Hannelore probably has a 'urgent rush shorter clean' schedule. The problem is that the things she classifies as 'optional extras to skip' may not be the same as anyone else's.
DORA: "Hanners, why did you come in wearing your fluffy bunny slippers?"

With regards to this issue, it might be worth noting her 4 minute tolerance for water pressure. That might enable someone, with more motivation than I have, to try and make an estimate of how many times she turns on the tap.
JimC:
Its going to be rather fun when Hanners turns up at the coffee shop with Tilly in tow. What is Dora going to make of someone parked in the shop all day taking up a table? To be acceptable Tilly will presumably need to be regularly consuming coffee, possibly to the extent of total caffeine overload by the end of the working day.
