Shower Time

Normally, when one takes a shower while others in the same building are also enjoying the luxury of a shower at the same time, using water from the same water tanks, there is a limited amount of hot water to be shared among the residents.

Here, it is a different story.


I entered my shower this morning only moments after two others had began their showers next to me. I was prepared for reduced water pressure, but it never occurred.
Instead, I turned on the water, with the knob pointed at its normal temperature, and it was scorching! (I was very glad I had turned it on before climbing in!)
I did my best to turn it to a manageable temperature before entering the facility.
During my pleasant shower, my neighbour finished before me. And most often, when you are finished with the shower, you turn the water off. When that happened I new instantly for the temperature dropped a number of degrees, waking me from my near slumber.
I quickly turned to correct the temperature when my other neighbour ended her shower!
I nearly screamed!
It fell a few more degrees!

What's the reason for the drastic temperature change? I'd understand more so if the temperature increased with the fewer amount of showers running, but a decrease?

whatever the reason it puzzles me, perhaps I have my temperatures confused, is there not a name for that abnormality?

-I should find a doctor-
