      Honestly

      I remember reading on Reddit or something ages ago there was someone who hated showers because they started cold

      Mate, just wait?

        Hell I run the hot tap as well just to speed things along, takes 5 seconds instead of 10.

        I wish I had one of those recirculators for instant, but it’d probably destroy me in gas bills cause I have a tankless.

          You can configure it to run on demand, hit a button and brush your teeth while it wastes zero water filling the hot line with hot

      In my shower the water suddenly turns cold for like 10 seconds at a time. Feels like hours when you’re used to the warm water.

      Yeah my old apartment had one shared old ass boiler in the basement for the whole building, like 35 units.

      I would have to wake up super early for my job, and in the spring/summer when the boiler wasn’t on to heat the radiators, I would often be the one to kick start it by turning my hot water on.

      It would take like 10 minutes to heat up so I’d just run the shower on low pressure and get a few more minutes of sleep

      My shower head points at the door I need to open / close, so without some finangling if I’m outside it’s off.
