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.

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.

Its okay buddy. I thought ovaries were in the boobs till I was like 20.

I can't think of an incident like this off-hamd for myself, but I once dated a woman who didn't know that women have a urethra. She thought the urine just came out of her vagina. She was ~23.

I mean, having lived more than half my life with water catchment NOT county water, letting the water run is wasteful and can mean you go without during drought. That means turning the water off while scrubbing, too. I've learned to embrace the cold on purpose at the end, with the closing pores n all.

I had a very cold shower once until I realized the way that one knob faucet worked was you had to turn it an insane amount to get to the hot water.

I don't think I've ever used a shower where there was no way to avoid an initial cold spray while standing in it, so it never occurred to me to turn it on first because it wasn't an issue.

I don’t like wasting water, so I just stand at the far end and try to start wetting my hair until it gets warm enough to fully step in.

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.

What's the difference between pointing the shower head away and standing outside at first?

I'm a first gen immigrant but despite having native American English, sometimes once in a blue moon I'll encounter a semi-rare word I've yet to be exposed to.

So my closest analog is that I was confused for the longest time why people kept referring to statues of figures from shoulder level upwards as busts when they never had chests or breasts or boobs or blossoms or busts!

So for the longest time not only was I confused, I would be on the lookout for statuses that depicted from breast height upwards, but I never found one, lol.

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.
