Rude was not one to socialize in the showers. Or ever, really. But especially not when naked. He wasn't shy about nudity, he just didn't see the point hanging around. Besides, it's not like he had a whole lot of hair. A shower was a practical thing. You got in, you got clean, you towel whipped your buddy and you got out.

So that's what he did. He wasn't wasting a whole shift fannying about with this stuff. He had research to do.
