Turning on the Taps

I don't know how your taps are but when I turn on my hot water tap it takes a few seconds for the water to get warm. Now I could wait for the hot water to get warm and then very hot, and then turn on the cold water tap and try to find that perfect balance of warm water to wash my hands with, but that would take too long. So this is my routine:

First turn on the hot water tap. Now quickly rinse your hands and wait for the water to get warm. Now you gotta be real fast here. Get the soap on your hands, rub them thoroughly and then quickly get them back under the water. At this point the water has gone from warm and is quickly approaching very hot to scalding temperature. So once your hands are rinsed you remove them from underneath the tap, about 2 seconds before they get burned and your rushed to hospital. You then dry your hands, as they are still stinging from the hot water and turn the tap off.

That's it washing your hands by only turning the hot water tap on. You can do this too, it's all in the timing. Don't try this in the shower though, because you'll only have about 5 seconds to wash your entire body and you'll probably end up with third degree burns.
