Uhh, every shower I’ve ever seen has this setting where you can actually turn hot water colder. And cold water hotter.

Until it’s just right.

This sounds like the idiots who put McDonalds hot coffee between their legs only to get burned.

Although as I recall Governor Greg Abbott is in a wheelchair today due to scalding hot water from a shower.

And he’s no idiot.

that story was also quite underreported...the person nearly died. question is - should McDonald's have been handing out a flimsy cup filled with something that was literally lethal if spilled on you - not merely "hot" that it would cause burns.

Tubs, showers and bathroom sinks are required to have thermostatic mixing valves (also known as tempering valves or anti-scald valves) to protect users. This man didn't think a motel would hire a non-licensed plumber to do work in the building and paid for it with his life. It's one more sign of the decline into third world lack of standards and enforcement.

The individual who connected the plumbing without the thermostatic valve should be in prison for manslaughter.

I always do that even at home.

You are truly blessed. For me it is always a little too cold, or a little too hot.

<< This sounds like the idiots who put McDonalds hot coffee between their legs only to get burned. >>

The facts of that case were not reported accurately by the media:
