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?

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

I remember seeing this reddit post like a decade ago. Lol

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.

I learnt that USians have to do this from movies (because you guys have weird plumbing, I think?). Does this person not watch movies?

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.

Average engagement bait/troll.

If your dinner scrapings are too soupy or wet to go in the bin, you can tip the whole thing in the toilet so you don't have to fanny about trying to sieve the noodles and vegetables while decanting it into the kitchen sink.

30 years old when I had dinner at a friend's house and they did it casually like it was obvious.

I stand in the shower and turn it on hoping it was indeed left with the shower head disabled, then I turn it on low pressure and let water flow until its warm.

No need to waste arbitrary amounts of water! If you don't have a normal shower (you're american) and only have some on/off shower pressure control, step inside, run the tub until it's warm, and act like a human being who can take the .3 seconds of cold water that may still be in the pipes between the diverter and spout. Odds are the cold water was drawn down from the water rushing out of the spout anyway, unless you have an adjustable showerhead. See step one.

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