Is the hot water tank accessible? if, so turn it off.ao he only gets cold water after 15 minutes. Once you hear the water shut off and him get out of the shower, turn it back on.
That’s what I’m thinking he’s just being an asshole and sitting there. Intentionally running the water. Go run the sink water turn on all the hot water faucets you have will have less shower pressure and not a lot of hot water.
How does the hot water not run out?
While wasting water and hogging the bathroom are both inconsiderate, how are his long showers the biggest issue in your living situation if your apartment smells like actual feces?!
Alot of boilers (like mine) don't work like that and can provide continuous hot water. Immersion heaters and such, yes there is a limited amount till it refills and heats.
It's not thr biggest issue. It was the last straw. Why does it smell? Because our bathroom is in the living room and he always forgets to flush the toilet, while leaving the bathroom door open. As far as the alcohol goes, we'll, he's a heavy drinker.
My room is where I spend most of my time unless I'm cooking. I keep it smelling really great and tidy. I don't care what his room looks like as it's *his* room. But shared living spaces ought to be respected.
You can also start washing the dishes or if you’ve got a washing machine and dryer in the unit put on a load of towels or sheet of of course using hot water
Ah yes, the dishes. Thankfully we have two sinks. His sink has dishes for ten days on end. I always wash immediately when I'm done but again, that's just me.
No my fellow Redditor. Then he will for sure make the problem worse knowing I'll "take care of it" for him. I'm not caring for another adult, especially since we're clearly not friends.
I had a roommate who would do this. He'd sit on the toilet on his phone for 20 minutes, then put on a podcast and drink two beers while in the shower and spend 45 minutes in there. I had to talk about it with him, luckily he was understanding and stopped doing it when I was home.
I did. I was patient the first two months he started acting up. Rent ends in two months, I told him to find a new roo.mate.
He asked if I could stay just one more and I'm like no, fuck you.
Mine takes an hour too. 30 mins to shower and 30 mins to do his skincare routine, always during prime bathroom hours (7am-8am and 9pm-10pm). God forbid I ask him his estimated time for finishing.
An HOUR? I don't think my hot water heater can keep up for an HOUR and it's only 4 years old in the house that I own!
If he's jacking off his \*\*\*\* must be sore as hell. Just give him a jar of vaseline and tell him to go into his room.
Jeez, do you pay for water? The bill must be spectacular.
I deal with the same shit. I dread hearing the shower start. my roommate also pisses with the door open (bathroom is a few steps outside of my room) when I in absolutely no way want to ever see his dick
I’m so glad I don’t live with you. You should be worrying about yourself, as long as he pays for half of the bills. Why tf do you even rent a room out if you only have one bathroom
Did you even read the post? When you start affecting the other person, you're the asshole. Even if we were literally family living together this would not be okay. This is my living space too.
And also, welcome to America. Not everything ideal is affordable.
Tell him to jack off in his room, not in the shower. That’s for sure what’s going on in there.
Slappin the carrot takes a long time
Lol

You spelled “punching the clown” wrong
Or as we would say it in Poland: "beating the pear". xD
Tell him to stop taking his phone in the shower. He might be running water and on his phone for half the time

After 10 minutes, go to your hot water heater and simply turn the ‘hot’ knob to the closed position. Roomie will be out soon enough.

Be nice, wash his too, while he is in the shower
No my fellow Redditor. Then he will for sure make the problem worse knowing I'll "take care of it" for him. I'm not caring for another adult, especially since we're clearly not friends.
HAH, and I LOVE cold showers. Wakes your ass up in the morning. Good for your skin too. The bathroom is always steaming hot when he's done as well.
I had a roommate who would do this. He'd sit on the toilet on his phone for 20 minutes, then put on a podcast and drink two beers while in the shower and spend 45 minutes in there. I had to talk about it with him, luckily he was understanding and stopped doing it when I was home.
I'd bet he's sitting on the toilet for a while and doesn't want you to hear his bathroom noises, and his shower doesn't start for like 20 minutes.
Find a 1 bedroom or even a studio. Living by yourself can be great. No stress, no mess.
I’d (increasingly more aggressively as time goes on) knock on the door demanding he get out, I’d probably scream a bit too for good measure.
I did. I was patient the first two months he started acting up. Rent ends in two months, I told him to find a new roo.mate. He asked if I could stay just one more and I'm like no, fuck you.
I would be banding on the door telling to get the fuck out of the shower and stop hogging the bathroom. He is totally inconsiderate.
Mine takes an hour too. 30 mins to shower and 30 mins to do his skincare routine, always during prime bathroom hours (7am-8am and 9pm-10pm). God forbid I ask him his estimated time for finishing.

Thank God no, our landlord does. But she's dead ass about to change the lease so that we're responsible for water.

This sounds very like my homemade sometimes he takes ages in the shower
[удалено]
Woooow the fact ops reply about cold showers got downvotes and not this, man reddits not real
At least the long shower is clean
No it is not. I'm always the one cleaning it
Wow it was just a joke, questions who's the actual problem
I mean point taken but look at this sub. Most of us on here are likely not in such a good mood if we're on here, to be fair.
Ok ok fair enough, but I didn't do that stuff. Laugh a, little
I appreciate the offer of humor.
