The most poorly assembled shower controls ever.

So it's been a long day at work.  I decide I'm going to take a shower before heading out to dinner.  I examine the controls of my shower in my hotel room and determined that since the teardrop shaped handle is pointed down, towards an etched "off," that by extrapolation, the "C" meant cold, and the "H" meant hot.  I turned the faucet on full blast 'hot' so that I can speed up the warming process.

Five minutes later, it's still running cold.  On a whim, I turn the faucet down slowly, and sure enough, it turns off.  I then start turning to the other side, and water hot enough to flash fry lobsters erupts from the shower head.   Fortunately, being a cautious soul, I was nowhere near it.

The next few minutes had me figuring out that I could either vary the amount of hot water coming out, or the amount of cold water coming out, but not both at the same time - so I had the option of a very brisk splash or cooking my internal organs.  I did what any rational human being would do in a situation like this.

I put on more deodorant and left the damn thing alone.
