My hot water tank runs out quick so if I let it warm up it'll be cold by the time I get in.
I'm down to military showers, 8 minutes (heavy scrub independent of the time)
It can be a poverty thing too.
If you struggle to pay normal bills, letting it warm up makes the bill higher. So grow up poor, and you find out lots of habits of yours exist to save less than a dollar a day.
There was a post with something similar but with the water pressure being too high in the shower. Like, what? Just don't open it all the way then?!
I had a very cold shower once until I realized you had to open it all the way to get hot water (no separate hot and cold taps). What a bizarre design.
they actually sell these recirculating pumps to keep the hot water in the pipes
Pretty mild, though an ex struggled with a standing light for years. It had one of those skinny, turntable hatched poles that you twisted. This one was rather tough to turn to the point that your fingers would slip. I remember looking at her struggling with it one day and asked, "Do you have any rubber bands?"
Same thing. She stopped, stared at me, and got flustered, "I...can't believe I never thought of that...".
You could save water Short Cold showering is healthy
I also don't do it :(
Like how people constantly fill the dishwasher in a way that nothing gets clean and dirty puddles form in the cups.
