Do you turn the water on before or after you get in the shower?

I thought I could vote for 2 and voted for the other and my real answer, but I always turn it on before I get in.

Before so I can check the temperature first. Nothing worse than a blast of ice water to the face.

I always turn it on before I get in, usually before I get undressed, because that gives it time to warm up.

I always turn it on before, but I know a lot of people who just step into the shower and then turn it on. It just seems like it'd be really uncomfortable before it gets warm...

I turn it on before I get in. Usually it is warm by the time I get my towel and undressed.

I actually timed how long it takes to reach the temperature I want. So I turn the hot on, count to 30, then turn the cold to where I know it needs to be and climb in. No waste, no cold water. Happy happy.

I turn the water on before until it warms up because when I turn the water on it's cold first and I don't want to be in the shower when the water is cold.

I crank it, so only the hot water runs, then turn it down once that pipes been flushed. warms up faster.

You have now met someone else that prefers lukewarm showers & in the Summer, cold! I also do the same as you if there's a tub. If it's just a shower, then I get in, aim it away from me & turn on. I hate wasting water & even turn it off while doing things that don't need the water, like washing my hair. I get in, wet it, then turn off the water & wash it up. I turn on the water when I need to rinse.

I adjust the temperature first so I'm not freezing or burning myself and then I get in.

I allow the water to warm up first before entering the shower.
