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?

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.

Have you ever done something...this dumb?

Well, at least OOP realizes it was dumb. I’d tell them to relax and not let it ruin their evening. We’re all astonishingly stupid sometimes. It happens to the best of us.

I prefer to cower in fear, actually. Too much of an effort to lean in and start the water beforehand. Plus now I usually shower in a standing stall so I have to be in it to turn the water on anyway. Just gotta set the angle and the cower space just right.

As someone living in the tropics, where home heating doesn't exist, warm/hot showers only takes 2 seconds after turning it on.

As for one of my own fuckups, I once put a piece of pizza with styrofoam as a plate in the microwave. I was 15 at the time. I did not eat pizza that day. Not the last time I fucked up with the microwave.

people who talk about their education when it is not part of the conversation are usually pretty dumb.

Kinda sweet that she was prioritizing water conservation over her own comfort level
