To be fair one extra person (whether they are riding or driving in) shouldn’t clog up the system that much. If he’s taking 40 minutes then it is taking the piss though, as it would be if he were a runner or cyclist. (5 mins though? From lycra to office gear with wash and dry in between? I literally can’t do that, probably 10 mins or so for me, 15 if I’m particularly dopey that morning)
Sounds more like you need another shower anyway, and some mudguards.
Break the shower and bus/drive in for the week until it’s repaired. Hopefully he will find a new routine. Regardless it sounds like it will inconvenience him more than you.
tried talking in a nice half jokey way; don’t be such a tight git etc and did your ride or run in today?! , but he is on of those people who will not change their views or have their view changed.
No, not a jokey talk, a serious, here is the problem, here’s what needs to be done kind of talk.
In the morning before you get dressed wrap yourself up in clingfilm, leaving just a small gap to breath through your nose. When you get to work, just unwrap yourself, like a tear off on goggles. You will be all sparkly and clean without a need for shower.
Personally I’d be going down the Bleach mixed with Ammonia route. He’ll get out sharpish after about 10 seconds of exposure. How long can you hold your breath for 😆
Pull his cord (no pun) when he’s about to rinse his hair.
Then, dangle your makeshift cord (no pun), that he cant quite reach, in its place.
He will then stumble blindly out of the shower, grasping desperately for the cord. Then, assist him in his stumbling, by guiding him to an adjacent fire-door & onto the car park, whereupon he will be arrested for exposing himself.
You could always locate the breaker for the shower and flick it after he’s been in there for 10 minutes. Just keep doing it every day.
Make friends with the building manager/FM.
The white strings of goop in the tray aren’t left over bits of shower gel either, it’s left over liquid silk.
ANY bloke who spends longer than 15 mins in the shower is w@nking, Fact!
when do the cleaners clean the showers? if it’s not overnight then make sure you’re the last one in the office, go curl one out in the tray as a little surprise for him. He will disappear off in disgust and you can then use the shower. As it was your deposit just toe it down the plughole and rinse off your feet.
After a few days of this he’ll stop even attempting to use the shower.
Or you’ll get fired for sh*tting in the shower
he ALWAYS eats everything! but especially mini eggs, that I left on my desk!
Easy answer. Plug the mini eggs or see how many you can get under the “hood”. Take pictures of plugging/hooding. Put eggs on desk. Email pictures to offender once the eggs have gone.

And I thought the toeing your own cack down the plughole sounded wrong you had to go and top it. Not literally obviously.
Although you could do that, crimp one off in the shower and put some mini eggs on it. See if they get eaten.
Get the building manager to run fire alarm drills when he’s in there. He’ll either get passed off with having to come out or disciplined for not following procedure.
It’s a pain, but not a disaster – we have a floor of IT people who think it’s ok to CTW and not shower at all. Sometimes they use meeting rooms and they need fumigated afterwards.
