For real. Everytime I get in the shower I end up having to point the showerhead away and cower from the cold water and I could have just turned it on first?

I didn’t learn until my 40s that if you exhale gently while getting water on your face, none of it goes in your nose.

I think I learnt this when I was taught swimming as a child. You always slowly exhale or at least keep the air in your nose slightly under pressure while you're underwater, so the water doesn't get in.

No one mentioned (probably an assumed thing) to turn the water on full hot to let it warm up, then move it to the preferred mix position. Doesn't waste the cold water which will stay more or less the same temp, it's only flushing out the cold in the hot water line. And because you have it fully on hot, it takes less time.

Or get a tankless water heater to get it almost right away. I've seen debates on which is a better choice when factoring everything in, and I think it's a close tie with no clear winner, each having their caveats.

The water in the pipes is still cold. Tankless heaters are endless, not instant. You still have to wait until the cold water is pushed out of the pipes, same as with a tank. Tankless heaters are still installed in the same central location as a tank and the hot water has to come from that point.

Best tip I can give: Turn the sink hot water on and let it run until it's hot and the lines are filled to the bathroom. When you turn on the shower, turn it to full hot until hot water starts coming out, and then adjust it to your personal preference. No waiting for shower to warm up now. Just jump in.

So he's about to have shower sex and he is capable of thinking about anything else?

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

why would they have shower sex, when they could have sex then shower

[-] Ethalis@jlai.lu 16 points 2 days ago

Yeah, shower sex might be one of the most overrated things I know. It always feels like a good idea at first and then you quickly realize that the logistics of it are hell

Yeah. Took me like 16, 17 years to realise I could put a bit of TP down first to stop the splash making such noise and firing back at my asshole.

I am still baffled by how many people suffer from Poseidon's Kiss on a regular basis. Like I've had it happen once or twice ever, and I'm not a spring chicken.

Also before someone asks, they were just roommates

Similar dumbassery: Taking a shit and seating there for 20 minutes inhaling feces stench when I could do a flush as soon first turds come out and stay on the toilet until I can't feel my legs without a farty atmosphere in the bathroom.

Although, if you're a ball haver, this is a great way to get poo water splash on your balls...
