Je to typ chlapa, který vyleze ze sprchy, aby se vyčůral
Ahoj, v knize Žena v okně je napsaná věta: "Je to typ chlapa, který vyleze ze sprchy, aby se vyčůral." Jak chápete její význam? Je to hanlivé, nebo naopak pozitivní?

In mid-February—after nearly six weeks shriveled inside my house, after I realized that I wasn’t Getting Better—I contacted a psychiatrist whose lecture (“Atypical Antipsychotics and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder”) I’d attended at a conference in Baltimore five years back. He didn’t know me then. He does now.
Those unfamiliar with therapy often assume that the therapist is by default soft-spoken and solicitous; you smear yourself along his sofa like butter on toast, and you melt. It ain’t necessarily so, as the song goes. Exhibit A: Dr. Julian Fielding.
For one thing, there’s no sofa. We meet every Tuesday in Ed’s library, Dr. Fielding in the club chair beside the fireplace, me in a wingback by the window. And although he speaks softly, his voice creaking like an old door, he’s precise, particular, as a good psychiatrist should be. “Kind of guy who steps out of the shower to piss,” Ed has said, more than once.

Později v knize je ještě jedna pasáž:
“I’m in an elevator. I’m calling to make sure you filled your prescription.”
What prescript—ah, yes; the pills Jane collected for me at the door. “I did, in fact.”
“Good. I hope you don’t think this patronizing, me checking in on you.”
I do, in fact. “Not at all.”
“You should experience the effects quite quickly.”
The rattan on the stairs scratches at my soles. “Swift results.”
“Well, I’d call them effects rather than results.”
No shower-pisser, he. “I’ll keep you posted,” I assure him

Řekl bych, že v tomto případě to vyznívá spíšepozitivně - někdo, kdo přesně ví, co věci jsou a jak se věci mají dělat správně a dělá je přesně tak a ani ho nenapadne myslet na nějaké horší, pohodlnější zkratky.
