When you "bathe" using the sink in a public restroom at a gas station or fast food place. It usually involves washing your face and hair using the pump soap provided. Can also include an upper body wash for men.

Generally something that most people only do when traveling a long distance or coming back from Burning Man.
Did you already hit the bathroom?

Nah, someone was taking a hobo shower in there.

The act of using wet naps as a wash cloth or loofah to "clean" yourself.

This act is typically done by hobos, people on road trips, or people at music festivals that couldn't afford a hotel and now must do a "hobo shower" in the porta-potty.
Guy 1: Bro, there's a naked dude in the bathroom cleaning himself with a wetnap!
Guy 2: aw dude he's taking a hobo shower...he's probably going to the phish concert that's in town.

also known as a "public fountain" to civilized people. Stupid hobos undress and bathe in them in the dead of night (although by the looks of it, most hobos never shower at all).

Little child: Mommy can i throw a penny into the fountain??

Mother: Ok honey, just watch out for that naked hobo standing in the middle, he thinks this is a damn hobo shower.

The act of mother nature pouring her luscious juices on those dam dirty hobos, thus cleaning them to a sparkle.
Well I was going to go bone my girlfriend in an alleyway, but now my plans are ruined. Dam hobo showers.

A hobo shower occurs in Washington State almost every day, so if you don't like it, get the fuck out!
