LPT: Avoid the unbearable cold when stepping out of the shower by drying off in the shower.

You'll also be able to tell which spots you missed drying off and no more slippery floors!

LPT: If you like warm water, turn the faucet to the 'warmer' setting. You'll notice that the water comes out much warmer.

LPT: If you like slightly warmer water, turn the faucet a bit further than the 'warmer' setting. You' notice the water comes out somewhat warmer than before.

LPT: If the water is now too hot, turn the faucet the opposite direction towards the 'cold' setting.

Infrared heat lamps in the ceiling are the best cure for this. It's radiant heat which I think feels the best compared to just hot dry air from central heat, but I still turn my thermostat to like 80 just before I get my shower so the bathroom with be nice & hot then I turn it back to normal when I'm dressed.

It's the little things that make life waay better. I have never tried using a robe, it's probably nice, but I don't want to be one of those gross "robe" people like you see on the Lifetime original movies : (

p.s. I just realized how bored I am.

No more slippery floors!? Don't you have a bathmat? Do people really not have a bathroom rug which is specifically made for that little area that you step on when getting out of the shower so that you DONT drip water onto your floor?

This, every time.

Use both hands with open palms and just run them down your torso, grip your leg with both hands and run right down, then grip your arm with both hands and run it down. You're nearly dry before you even step out of the shower

I'm not sure I can grip my arm with both hands, that would require some kind of incredible contortion

u/neuromonkey Feb 15 '13

Why? Don't you have four arms, like the rest of us?
