Poll: Do you turn on the shower before you step into it?

[Blindswordmaster]

Do you turn on the shower before you step into it?

 

[Twilight_guy]

Yes. The water starts out as cold and then warms up over time and I don't like freezing cold showers.

 

[Dags90]

Who doesn't? I mean outside of movies and TV.

If I don't let the water run for a bit, it comes out freezing.

 

[Moontouched-Moogle]

Same here, turn it on to avoid the initial torrent of icy torment.

 

[Redworld13]

Nah, Stepping into it cold always wakes me up. Plus i like the cold!

Broken poll is broken...

I think you have to be a bit weird to turn the water on when you're in the shower, you need to give it a moment to adjust itself. Plus if your shower is anything like mine, it's unreasonably temperamental and takes constant adjusting.

 

[Phlakes]

Of course. The water is fucking freezing for a minute or two, and then it takes maybe two more to get up to the right temperature. No way I'm standing in that.

Broken poll is broken...

Don't meant o be rude, but-

1. He pointed that out himself, in the second post.

2. Do you really think we can't all see it? It's like telling everyone the site layout has blue in it.

 

[Gaiseric]

Yes. The water comes out freezing nowadays.

Years before it would sometimes come out super hot.

 

[Knife]

Nope, get in, close the doors and then turn on the water. Otherwise it splashes off the floor and gets all over the bathroom floor, which sucks. Sure sometimes the water starts really cold or really hot, but it adjusts after a few seconds.

 

[NotSoLoneWanderer]

When I'm feeling lazy in the morning I jump in immediately to wake myself up, otherwise I let it warm up first.

 

[Ickorus]

Yeah because it starts out very very cold and then gets very very hot before settling at a reasonable temperature.

It's like telling everyone the site layout has blue in it.

What‽ It has blue in it‽

 

[Timedraven 117]

Wait usaly because it is freezing cold and uncomfertable when it is already cold and uncomfertable. But i usally take baths beacuse it makes it warmer and i can relax.

 

[Crazy]

Yes, can't freeze myself just yet.

 

[Rawne1980]

I have no choice.

My wife has it at lobster boiling temp and my eldest daughter has it at below bloody zero.

It's either incredibly hot and takes the flesh off my back or it's so cold my balls get frostbite before I can dive out.

 

[nukethetuna]

I usually turn it on, and then I take my morning piss (anywhere from fifteen seconds to four and a half hours). I don't flush! But by the time this ritual is complete, the water is at an adequate temperature for shower time.

 

[badgersprite]

Yes, I'm not a fan of being scalded by hot water. Isn't this just common sense to adjust the temperature before you step into a shower?

 

[redisforever]

Turn it on, jump out of the shower, then get go in, but not into the water, until I'm ready.

 

[Dawns Gate]

I let it heat up a bit first, because I'm usually the first person up.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

Where is my God damn poll?!

Over there, next to your regular one.

On topic: No, I step in, take down the head and let the water run over my hand so I know exactly when it goes hot.

 

[RanD00M]

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. All depends on how hot the room is and what season it is. A cold shower on a winter morning is topped by very few things as to what wakes you right the fuck up.
