What verb do you shower?

The other day, someone I follow on Twitter said they were going to go "have a shower" which had that weird "Hm, that doesn't sound right to my ears" feeling, like the shower was equivalent to a sandwich (which I suppose is possible, depending on how many people you have in there, but that's a whole other blog post (and not mine)).  A friend of mine always says, "I'm going to get a shower" like her house came without one and she has to go purchase one daily.  I say, "I'm going to go take a shower" which obviously sounds fine to me but, now that I really think about it, sounds like I'm about to steal a shower from someone else's home, making me far worse than the friend who "gets" hers in a clearly more civilized, less forceful, brutal way.

Other times "I'm going to go hop in the shower" which must indicate a cheerier day than the ones in which I say I'm going "to go grab a shower" which kind of sounds like assault.

So how do you verb your shower? (Or bath. Don't want to be exclusionary here.)

i've never looked at it that way...personally i'm a "hop in" or "jump in" kinda gal. though if you think about it that could be dangerous, cause what if you slip and fall?

I "take" a shower, although I have no idea where I'm taking it. :)

[nagehan]

I'm gonna take a showerrr!! lol

I also, on occasion, "take" a bath. I don't do it as often because it's harder to carry than the shower. (Ba-bum-bum. Thank you, I'll be here all night.)

I almost always use "take", but occasionally use "jump".

[Liza]

I'm going to jump in the shower.
or
I'm going to get in the shower.
or
I'm going to go rinse off. (For those shorter showers where you just need a quick de-funking.)

'Take,' definitely 'take!' Applies to both baths and showers. :)

[Kyra]

Definitely "take" with the occasional "hop in" tossed in.
