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

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

What, really? You got to be kidd.... Oh I never noticed that! (Sorry I just couldn't resist)

On Topic
WARM!!! VERY WARM in the morning (where I'm kinda very grumpy) and quite warm anytime else.

 

[Ghost]

Yeah, the last thing i'd want is to step into the shower then find there's no hot water left. I wouldn't mind the initial freezing cold grimness of the kvlt frostbitten shower if I was sure the water would be hot after.

 

[emeraldrafael]

I do, but not for temperature adjustment. i dont mind a cold shower, and if it burns I either quickly adjust and take it or jump out (depending on how tough I want to think I am).

Its because I've been places where the water would either take a bit of time for the water to flow through, or the water system was bad and yoiu would occasionally get this muddy shit water (which is no fun to step in).

 

[I Have No Idea]

Of course. I always let it warm up before going in, or else nearly suffocate from the cold temperatures.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I hate showers so when I do step in for one instead of having a bath like normal I turn it on, get the temperature right and then step in.

 

[Ilikemilkshake]

Yup, i turn it on a few seconds before i get in, that way it isnt cold

 

[Deadyawn]

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‽

OMG how do you interrobang?!

OT: I get the feeling that most people here have temperature adjustment issues regarding showers. At least I do.

 

[Humza Ahmad]

Of course I turn it on before stepping in. I don't want to get a cold first thing in the morning.

 

[Rancid0ffspring]

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

Fuck yes... My shower takes ages to warm up!

It is en-suite though

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I do, I'll let the water run for a minute or two to make sure I'm stepping into a warm shower. I hate that cold water feeling!

 

[esperandote]

Yes but i get away from the water until it warms up.

 

[Keepeas]

Yes! Of course I turn the water on before I get in.
I want the temperature to be right.
Not only that, but at my dad's house he uses a solar water heating system...
The sun, as you might guess, gives off A LOT of energy in terms of heat...
If I were to get in the shower before I got the temperature right I would be in danger of some serious scalding.

 

[Rule Britannia]

My shower heats up pretty quick I'll stand out the radius of the water for about 5-10 seconds before stepping into it

 

[CthulhuMessiah]

Yes because it takes 10 seconds for it to turn from "Somehow less than absolute zero" to "Juuuuuust riiiiight".

 

[viranimus]

yes, pretty much, now the bigger question... Which side do you enter the shower, The spraying faucet side or the waterless side?

 

[Sarah Frazier]

Yep! That way the cold water can run through the pipes and I can make sure it's not too hot before stepping in.

And as for which side, it's the more waterless side just in case the temperature does happen to be too hot or cold. That way only my shins really suffer.

 

[Pegghead]

Not only do I stand outside the shower to start up the water, I close the shower door so only my hand reaches in so it becomes like a make-shift blast-shield from the witch breast milk that seems to spurt out for the first five seconds.

 

[Thaius]

Of course; it takes a minute or two for the warm water to start coming out. No way am I going to stand there getting blasted by freezing cold water for the first few minutes of the shower; that would suck.

 

[gigastrike]

I turn it on before I even get undressed.

 

[retyopy]

Of course, otherwise it'll be cold and uncomfortable.
