I've been wondering about this for years. When I turn the shower on,
the first water that comes out is
c-o-o-o-o-o-ld! So I've learned to adjust the temp before stepping

But WHY does cold come out first, when it's supposed to be mixed?

You must be kidding
There is the small chance that this person grew up in a
home/apartment/condo with a circulating hot water system that keeps the
water in the pipes hot, or point of use water heaters? And since then
has moved and didn't catch on yet? And being that this person never
actually saw a water heater, never washed their hands at any public
place, and just never really thought about it? OK, I'm being very
optimistic, but it's possible.

Looks like my reply didn't make it to the NG. Probably shouldn' t
bother
to reply to nastiness, but just for the record:

1 I lhave lived for a long time in a 3-bedroom stucco house.
2. It has a water heater.
3. I have washed my hands at many public places. In fact, being
that this is a
public place, may I "wash my hands" of this nasty poster?
4. Not gulty as charged of " not really thinking about it"; rather
not thinking
clearly about an obvious answer to a minor problem.

Wow, and I was being very nice! Afraid to think what you thought of the
other replies!
