"I love when showers are thoughtfully designed," a comment read.
A person wrote, "Yesss!! When redoing our bathroom, we rerouted the plumbing so the handle's far from the water stream. Bougiest thing I've ever done."
"It's pure genius - and actually pretty common in new builds," a third comment read.
On the other hand, a user wrote, "Why do Americans waste so much water waiting for it to heat up?"
Another comment read, "I'll never understand how people can waste this much water just to avoid cold."
A person stated, "Calling it 'wasting water' feels unfair. If cold showers aren't your thing, don't judge those of us who prefer warmth."
