Tell me how the fuck a 10 year old kid can drain an entire hot water heater tank?!?!?!
I come home from a terrible day of reffing. Six games (2 rating and 4 officiating) in rain, hail, windy conditions - terrible weather conditions. I call the hubster before I come home. My commute is 20 minutes. Hubster informs me that step child is in the shower. IN the shower. Meaning he was already some time in the shower. He is still in the shower when I get home. That's fucking 20+ minutes in the shower. I start my shower. No fucking hot water. I smell, I've been cold all day. All I want is a hot shower and to vege in front of my TV. I am denied by my 10 year old step son. I want to rip the hubster's face off right now.

Bath vs Shower
Last night, the hubster wanted to take a bath to soak his poor muscles after a day of snowboarding. I found out that he does not know how to draw a bath. I discovered this when a) I found the hot water running and the tub stopper was not in place an b) I went to take a shower after his bath and ended up taking a cold shower because there was no hot water left. We have a 3 Br, 3Bath condo. I am sure our hot water heater can heat at least 3-4 showers before the hot water runs out.
I grew up taking baths as a kid, so when I draw a bath, I turn on the hot water and plug the tub. This way the cold water is not wasted. The water will get hot enough and warm up the cold water. I came the conclusion that he was letting the hot water go down the drain as he waited for it to get hot. After I plugged the tub for him, I never checked back on it. Probably mistake number 2. Next time, I'll know to take a shower first or run the bath for him.
Anyway, I reffed a play day today and as I was in the shower, I was thinking about baths and showers. As I said before, I grew up taking baths as a kid. Apparently, this is not the norm in most American households. I found this out in fourth grade. One day we were learning about recycling and conservation. The question was posed: What uses more water: baths or showers? My initial thought was baths, duh! But I was enlightened that it was showers because the water comes down in drops. I was like WTF! Turns out taking baths sequentially and just adding more hot water to the bath water is not normal. Some would call it dirty, re-using water! I always felt clean and it may have been better at conserving water. After that, I never told anyone about the baths just so they wouldn't think we were dirty.
