wish I had no feelings towards hot...

same.

this is like Dream when i cook bacon without utensils or (like Literally 5 minutes ago) take waffles out of the iron bare handed.

So, like old house? One tap for hot water, one tap for cold? If you want it to be just warm and not 'third degree burn' level, you need to fill up the sink and mix it? I hate those, with a passion.

most apartments out here cant afford those modern fancy-ass lever taps that control both temperatures at the same time. Believe it or not, they are actually really expensive and dont connect very well with a lot of the older plumbing out here.
You dont actually have to fill the sink though.
Contrary to popular belief, you are actually able to open up both sides at the same time without the whole system exploding! The water flowing from your tap can be comfortable without having to open the hot, close it, then open the cold. Just open them both!

I also have two controls on the tap, but I just do dishes with only hot water - for some reason, when I open the hot water lever and the water heats up, the waterpressures just drops, so I have to open more and more. If I try to mix hot and cold water, I end up spending quite some time adjust one side up and the other down, and vice versa - it can take minutes before I achieve desired temperature. So I just gave up - I use rubber gloves with textile gloves inside to avoid burning my hands.

At least the showed has a unit with just one temperature lever, and an other for waterpressure. That would be the ideal tap for me, also - one lever only for temperature, and another only for waterflow.

Two controls but one tap then? Ok, makes more sense to me.

Also, I guess that his high tolerance for hot explains why his hands and arms are so pink: the skin feels the heat/burn, but nerves do not send the info to his brain... :p

yeah there is the spout where the water comes out, then a little twisty knob on either side. One controls hot and one controls cold :)

Ok, I'm asking cuz I've seen sinks with two spouts: one for cold, one for hot.

ok i literally JUST realized what you were talking about!
The taps you are talking about are much more common in britain. You see, in old times the hot water would sometimes get contaminated and wreck the cold drinking water so they separated the taps. Apparently the brits liked the design and a lot of modern homes still have them!
I, however, am in Canada where we have a single spout with two controls. Sometimes they are knob shaped, sometimes they are lever shaped, sometimes it is a single lever that controls both at the same time for no reason. But there is always only one spout.

I've been to both england and usa, maybe I'm mixing both... :p

its entirely possible! both contain a lot of weird foods and self important english people lol

my shower is like that. start off straight hot then add in cold my the fucking MILLIMETER until it comes out right lol its so touchy that a twitch in the wrong direction will either burn you or freeze you.

Same for mine. And don't anyone dare to use water while I shower! Else it detracts from the cold water coming into the mix and I burn!

Actually the heat tolerance thing seems to be a male trait *holds up steaming hands* My grandfather didn't need tongs when grilling

you people are psychotic.

*headtilts* You... don't fill up the sink?

I can't for several reasons.

1) My hands are mega sensitive to hot water and I really don't like submerging them.

2) My good knives rust easily.

3) I don't like washing my dishes in water that is saturated with grease and ick.

4) if my hands touch ONE THING that is even slightly slimy in that water I am DONE. I cannot continue. I am that grossed out.

Huh. To each their own, I guess. My mom taught me to fill up the sink, but I can see how that'd be a problem for others.

yeah my mom taught me the same. she gets so annoyed with me when i help her do dishes now XD

I can imagine. X3
