I do tend to shower with the door open when no one else is home, having room mates and friends who stop by randomly has made me cut back on doing that at times tho.
I also have the issue now of, we sealed and insulated our house, enough so that in the winter we do have moisture problems in the house that we did not have before so if I do take a shower in the winter and don't run the fan long enough some of the windows start to frost up, new quality double pane windows, so I run the vent fan till the bath room feels dry.
Part of what got me thinking about this was my brother is looking to buy a house and the houses we look at all tend to have moisture damage in the bath room, in my time remodeling houses I've come to realize that bath rooms are a bad idea mostly because of moisture.
