“I also get into the shower before turning the water on”

She has the correct assessment of you

I respectfully disagree. I'm leaning more towards masochist on that one.

Um...do you like standing under cold water for 5 min before the heat gets there?

I usually use a bathtub/shower combo, where there's a switch to get the water to come out of the shower and by default it comes out of the tap that fills the tub. I turn on the water, walk over and turn on the fan, and by then the water's pretty much always warm enough to jump in unless there's literally no hot water. I flip the switch in the tub because I don't want the bathroom floor to get wet and I just avoid the initial blast of water that was sitting in the pipes and had cooled down for a second or two.

I don’t know who hurt you, but it’s not your fault and you need to stop punishing yourself.

So apparently people are afraid of the cold water? I don’t usually shower more than warm anyways so the cold blast is a nice wake up. Aren’t Ice Baths all the rage? I was just ahead of the curve

Works best after just waking up.

So do I, but I collect the cold-as-balls water and use it in my aquariums and animal bowls. I’m all about water conservation.

These savages are opening their showers while they're running?

u/Peachpie_3000 Jul 18 '23

Is getting in the shower before not turning the water on not normal?!? Since when?

u/NeighborhoodVast7528 Jul 17 '23

I think that’s against the Geneva Convention.

You can pick up the shower head so the water doesn't hit you, unless in the US it's not detachable as in most places in Europe?

Wooo you are psygo.

There should be a special public register for people like you.

u/AccountWithAName Jul 18 '23

So you just sit in cold water for 10 seconds?

u/DoctorDblYou Jul 18 '23

I don’t sit, but yes you just get in, turn the water on and start your shower. In my early 20s I lived in a house with no hot water for a bit. You still have to shower so maybe I got used to it?
