If it is just a shower, then yes, I test the water to make sure it has warmed up before I get in. However, the house that I live in now only has a shower/tub combo. My technique with that is to step into the tub, turn the faucet handles on (hot first, then cold to make it even), freeze my toes off before the water gets warm enough, then lift the little lever on the end of the spout to make the shower come on.
Sometimes, I forget to push the little lever back down when I get done taking a shower, so when my poor sleepy self steps into the tub in the morning the next day expecting the water to come out the faucet, I get surprise-assaulted by the shower nozzle instead... Damn that makes me angry!
IIN to feel how hot the water is before stepping into the shower?
