Today, I was taking a warm shower when someone in my house flushed the toilet, making the shower extremely hot. In my rush to get out so I wouldn't get burned, I slipped and knocked a tooth out. FML

Why wouldn't you just move out of the spray instead of trying to run out of the shower?

is it that hard to turn the water off? anyways fyl

that sucks!!!! i dont mean to scare you, but its a HUUUUGEE amount of trouble to go through :P good luck and i hope you don't need a root canal!

lucky... my water gets cold when someone flushes the toilet... Anyway, wouldn't it have been easier for you to just turn off the water or just move away from it?

from hot water for a couple of seconds? OP deserves it for being a pussy

You can get burned by hot air, I'm pretty sure you can get burned by hot water. :] And to the people who say "why couldn't you just turn off the hot water" a person's first natural reaction is to get away from hot water, not rush toward it. If someone's shower is too small to dodge the spray, or the spray is too wide, the easier solution is to get out of the shower till the spray is cool enough to be tolerable. FYL for living with assholes who flush while you're in the shower.

go ahead and stick your hand in a pot of boiling water, and let's find out.

To all the people saying "Just step away from the water then"... How do you know the OP doesn't have one of those stupid tiny cubicles where there isn't any room to move away? My Dad's shower is so small there isn't room to take a single step in any direction except out the door.

Then turn off the water...it isn't that hard to do, and it's certainly better than busting a tooth in a spastic effort to jump out of the shower.

Do you know what a "reflex" is? You learn about it in science class.

I never understood how this works. Does anyone mind explaining it? :S

u ok and u could hav turned the shower off

everyone says you shoulda do this or that. bahh and ouch about the tooth

and the reson it gets hot is because when you flush it uses up a lot of cold water, therefore diverting some of the cold water from the shower to the John. less cold water means more pure hot. HT WATER
