How do you enter the shower? (w/ Poll)
 

Tref 10-25-2010 07:57 PM

Oops, I guess went passed the five minute allotment to add a poll.

Alex 10-25-2010 07:57 PM

I know how to set the water for the temperature I want (lobster) and how long it takes to get there. I turn the water on before I'm in the shower, then turn the shower on when I know it will be hot and get in.

alphabassettgrrl 10-25-2010 08:14 PM

Water on, selection to "full hot", wait until the pipes heat up a bit and the water is actually hot, set it to preferred temp (not quite "lobster" but close), turn it from tub to shower setting, wait a second for that first shot of cold to get gone, then step in.

I zipline into a waterfall.

Moonliner 10-26-2010 10:53 AM

Shower?

Capt Jack 10-26-2010 11:19 AM

yeah, that hardcore thing is just inviting a heart attack or some other horrible fate. 3 please, especially for as long as it takes my shower to heat up. usually its 'turn it on, shave...then get in the (adjusted temp) shower'

Snowflake 10-26-2010 11:23 AM

One thing our circa 1931 building does not lack is hot water. Turn it on, jump in and adjust so I do not scald. #3 for me

Gemini Cricket 10-26-2010 12:18 PM

I'm a "chill out naked" kind of guy.

LSPoorEeyorick 10-26-2010 01:37 PM

Me too. Three.

Poll added.

I'm a 3

Kevy Baby 10-27-2010 08:20 AM

Updating mine. I realized this morning that I have a fairly good routine worked out:
  1. Turn on the light to the WC, enter and turn on the hot water
  2. Go back, turn on the fan, turn on the little radio I listen to in the shower and grab it
  3. Place radio in its spot outside of shower
  4. Reach in and turn on cold water
  5. Enter shower
The timing of all this is such that the hot water arrives just as I am turning on the cold water at which time I enter the shower. Through 10 years of practice I know exactly how much to turn each temperature on to achieve the desired temp with minor adjustments being made after I jump in.

The model of efficiency (or anal retentiveness)

Alex 10-27-2010 08:28 AM

Model of efficiency? Why do you need to move your radio twice a day? Just buy a shower radio.

Tom Hanks' Chuck Noland gives you a B+.

If anybody really thinks that is the poll I would have added, then you have never read a thread I have started. But thanks.

Actually, I tried a shower radio and due to the location of our house (poor reception area), I couldn't get any stations. Since extra trips are not required for the radio, it still qualifies for efficiency of movement.

Alex 10-27-2010 01:33 PM

Chuck Noland still says why do you need to move the radio back and forth as you still waste time picking it up and setting it down.

Also, it's a shower. You know where all the parts are. Save money and time by not turning on the light. And why is your switch for the fan so far apart from the light switch that it requires a separate trip. Rebuild your bathroom if necessary. And hire someone to run an antenna into your house.

B+. And if you keep arguing it will be a B.

Kevy Baby 10-27-2010 01:35 PM

But this way you can see how the vote goes before revealing that Option 3 is "a goat, in a train station, with a prop bludgeon."

Gn2Dlnd 10-27-2010 01:36 PM

I like this Chuck Noland fella. Tell me who he is so I don't have to waste effort looking him up on Google.

Kevy Baby 10-27-2010 01:43 PM

He's an expert on showering and package logistics efficiency. Unfortunately, he was forced to go four years without a shower only to come home to a bitch with no patience.

Typing "Chuck Noland" into a search takes less time than typing the above post, especially since the post includes the name "Chuck Noland" in it...:p

Not Afraid 10-27-2010 05:26 PM

I take baths.

Cynthia 10-27-2010 08:17 PM

I too am a bath girl, but if I do shower I wait till my husband has soap all over his face and then push him away from the spray while I wash my hair. :evil:

Here was the poll:

1. I prefer sponge baths
2. I prefer to bathe in sunshine and shower with kisses; ergo, I am tanned & bacterial.
3. I am more of a cologne person
4. Cool water feels like acid on my skin, so I am dry-cleaned
5. I refuse to participate in this poll.
6. I also refuse to participate in this poll.

Yes, but I made someone else do the work. :p :p

Gn2Dlnd 10-28-2010 05:15 AM

I'm still a 4.

Yes, but did you get an answer?

Gn2Dlnd 10-28-2010 09:58 PM

Sure I got an answer. Was it the truth? Who knows? I'm satisfied. In fact, I think I've finally figured out my Halloween costume for this year.

RStar 10-29-2010 10:30 PM

How do you enter the shower?

I open the door, then I put one foot in, lean forward, then drag my other foot in, and close the door.

Is there another way to do it?

Well, you could put your right foot in
Then put your right foot out
Then put your right foot in
And shake it all about.
