The Shower Battle

I imagine this happens in hostels but from my experience it happens mostly in camping grounds:

One person gets in a shower.
Another person gets into the shower cubical next to them.
Showers go on,
Battle begins.
The struggle between hot and cold, good and evil wages.
The burning, the freezing the half second of pure brilliance!
There is no exact middle point where both parties can experience pure shower nirvana or 'Show-Vana' because of the underlying inner struggle, or,
'Selftunerability'; The inability to find ones equilibrium of Show-Vana on their own.
This battle one can wage without an opposing force.
The distance between fire and ice is less than 1, 10th of a millimeter.
Often coupled with 'Single-Fire Nozzlesyndrome'; when it doesn't Rain as such but more Firehoses you to a state of Clean. Or the beloved Side or even Backward 'Singlefinespray' ; just so fine that you don't notice it but just enough so that it soaks both your clothes and your towel by the time you need them.

A good way to start the trip, but at least you know now why us travellers get the name "dirty backpackers"
