Toothbrush Oddity

Through all of my travels, I have stayed in the homes of many individuals who were..."brought up" differently than myself. One of the strange things I have seen is a toothbrush sitting in a cup in the shower. Now, I've seen this several times, otherwise I would have dismissed this preposterousness and continued about my own hygiene routines.
Upon asking, the responses have been, "Don't you brush your teeth in the shower? It is multi-tasking, you have to do both anyway, and the water is running...why not?" I think it is strange - I am not ok with spitting minty freshness on my feet.
What do you guys think?

You know, I've heard of it, but never done it. I always thought it would be a time-saver, but it just seems awkward somehow.

I'm pretty sure I would never do it for two reasons: a) I wouldn't want someone to think that the toothbrush is in the shower for cleaning the grout between the tiles, and b) I'm so out of it when I wake up that I tend to drop things in the shower. I would definitely NOT want to drop my toothbrush in the shower. Yuck!

I think it's an insane waste of water. What, you're lathering and brushing at once?
