Another important pole: when do you turn on the shower water?

[Glen]

My wife thinks I'm weird (and rightly so) for various reasons.  One of them came up recently: because I turn on the water for my shower after I get in the shower.  She turns on the water before she gets in, adjusts the temperature to her preference, and then enters.  I'd never even thought about doing it that way before she mentioned it.  So, which way do you start your shower water?  Am I really that weird in this sense?

Before.

I've never heard of anyone waiting until they were in the shower to turn on the water.

I do it before because it takes so long for the water to heat up.

How could you stand ice cold water hitting you?  

[Blarg]

Glen, like Tdawg, is always in need of a cold shower.

To have a consistent water temperature the water should be on ahead of time especially if you have a tankless water heater. I don't want to know what you are doing in the shower before turning the water on.

What kind of monster gets in the shower before they even turn the water on?

This pole is gonna backfire on Glen worse than the reggae one.

before entering because it takes 2 or 3 minutes for the water to heat up. 

[CaliAngel]

I turn on the water, then brush my teeth while it warms up.

 

Your wifes "weird-o detector" is right on this one.

[Hollyw00d]

What is wrong with you?????

[Vegas Halo Fan]

I don't have a pole in the shower.

 

And yes, you're weird. Getting a blast of cold water in the back isn't my idea of a good time.

Picture of Glen his wife shot shortly after he got out of the shower:

I get in the shower before I turn on the water too. I hold the shower hear until the water reaches a comfortable temperature. Then I drench my naked body.

Before.  So the water is hot by the time I get in.

[mrwicked]

Before.

One of my shower heads is a rainfall mounted in the ceiling. Standing underneath that and turning on the water would not be fun.

[Count Orlok]

I turn it on the night before so it's ready when I shower in the morning.

[Tank]

holy mackerel, Tin. This must have been how you were punished as a child.

[HaloMilliVanilli]

I had no idea there were people out there who got into the shower and then turned the water on.  Seems like that would take years off one's life.

In fairness to Glen, he's Navy. They are taught to be frugal with water.

May I ask why?
