What is it?
Du Warmduscher.
What's the implication? That they are lazy people of low character and bad taste?
That they're weak because they are not able to bear the cold water.
When I was 30 I learned that I had pronounced and spelled the German word "unbedingt" wrong my entire life. I thought it was "umbedigt" as in "um jeden Preis". I thought all others spelled and pronounced it wrong or spoke more elaborate than I.
Ah, don't worry. There are tons of those in the German language. Mine was "Firmament", I thought it was "Firnament". Yours is a bit worse ;)
Like how people constantly fill the dishwasher in a way that nothing gets clean and dirty puddles form in the cups.
Someone on Reddit once said they didn't realize the white part of your finger nails are where it's unconnected to your skin, and they'd just clip wherever, and often bleed because they'd clip the skin.
NO!
You could save water Short Cold showering is healthy
I also don't do it :(
My wife started a new job a few years ago, and during training she was shown how to create invoices.
- Open the excel template
- Fill inn the items, and the prices
- Sum all posts USING THE DESKTOP CALCULATOR ...
She was completely dumbfounded.
I'm a professor and require students to submit typed homework as either docx or pdf format - a student wrote their paper in Word, took a screenshot of it (including their desktop), then saved the screenshot in pdf format.
It was probably cuz you can't run plagiarism checks on it.
I didn’t realize I could dry off with a towel while still standing in the bathtub/shower until I was 26. Now my bathroom floor doesn’t get wet on a daily basis.
The perfect bathmat is one of those brown fibre door mats, the kind people also use to get their car out of the snow. Always feels dry, never slips, and lasts for years.
They're so pokey, though!
Preal men like scratchy mats. Puts hair on your feet.
I hate when I get hair on my feet
Rub on mat vigorously
No more mat!
No more feet
Growing up we had a walk in shower, the way it was setup there was no way to reach in and not get hit by cold water. Especially a short kid with short arms, you were getting a full blast cold water trying to go "out" of the shower. The tap was the push-pull type and very difficult to modulate so limiting to low pressure trickle was basically a game of russian roulette. The best I could do was hug the wall and let it only get whatever corner of my body I wanted to sacrifice to temporary hypothermia that morning.
