Been there, done that.

When I was on my ship, sometimes the fresh water, or just the hot water, would be shut down for maintenance. And lemme tell you, having to go to bed sticky and stinky, absolutely sucks.

Consequently, I became very good at "finding hot water"

Such as heading to the document destruction compartment, and opening the taps on the deep sink. It was the lowest part of the ship's plumbing, so there was usually a decent amount of hot water in there. I'd collect it in a bucket, then carry it back to the berthing compartment head, where I'd take a sponge bath.

I've also done things like drain the coffee machine of hot water, and kept a 5 gallon jug of clean water, hidden behind the lockers.

Now that's being resourceful in times of dire needs haha. Admire that kind of clever mind [and working on a ship, all the more interesting]!

That's my bf haha

Hahahaha, cold shower dance!

Me when younger, but not for the reason one can imagine.
I kinda developed an skin allergy to warm/hot water, my skin turned red and itchy for hours after bathing in warm water, yet nothing happened with cold water.
Yeah these were funny winters. lol

For me, a cold shower is not complete without my parents rolling their eyes going "back in my day, all our showers were cold showers. Yes even in winter"

FUCK THAT x.x

I mean.. I take them from time to time. They are kinda good for you o.o

mision cumplida! ya lo demas pasa a ser...relativamente sensillo... ^^'

Simple & effective If you going to take a cold shower.

1.- start with your feet & legs. (As you get accustomed to the cold wet water)
2.- them hands & arms.
3.- them upper legs, upper arms & face.
4.- front torso, chest & slowly to the head.
5.- then slowly the rest of the body.
by them your body is accustomed to the cold wet water.
And also, will depend on a mind over matter, good luck.

I feel ya.

If I do that i will slip and fall

Nope! I can never do that.
Just heat a pot of water on the stove, get a wash cloth and have a hand bath
