Today, I discovered my new step-dad has a rule about the shower. After three minutes, he turns the water off at the source. I had to beg him to turn it back on whilst covered in shampoo suds, and the only way I could get him to give me another minute was to forfeit my phone for the week. FML

You need to talk to your mom about this because he is a tyrant

You woild wash your hair in the sink- I have done that before.

"Do unto others" - turn the water off on that mother ****** when he's in there. Let's see if he really only takes 3 minutes.

sounds like a dick. seriously that is insane. or he just wanted to see you covered in soap suds. one or the other.

It's not a maturity issue, it's just plain wickedness. 3 Minutes shower? What in the blue hell??

Without knowing more information, I don't really see how he's immature... I'd just say he's really extreme. Either way, it was undoubtedly inconsiderate not to inform OP of the rule beforehand. He could have very valid reasoning (perhaps he has little money and water is very expensive in that area), but regardless, he handled the situation very poorly.

Your step dad sounds like he is in the military

this might not be the most helpful solution but if you cant get more time without giving up your phone maybe try taking more bathes, my tub fills to almost halfway in three min.if he is eco conscious that should be a fair trade off but it will also help you figure out if he is just trying to be controlling which from the looks of your fml he is

Where's the mother in all of this? Shouldn't she tell her husband that it's a family, not military personnel!? I suggest OP monitors the step-dad' shower carefully, and if he takes even 1 second more than his "3 minute shower", to turn off the water at the source as well.What's good for the goose ;)
