Actually, Romulus, for those of US in civilization flushing the toilet does not affect the shower. Most houses and newer apartments have two separate cold water pipes. One for the shower and one for the sink/toilet. And if they don't then there is a good chance that the shower pipes have a presure-equalizing valve so when the toilet causes the cold water pressure to decrease, the hot water pressure decreases, keeping the temperature about the same.
But it could also be possible for the toilet to cause the shower to get cold if the plumber ran the wrong pipe to the toilet or if your house is really old and has iron pipes that are really corroded
Yes most newer buildings may have separate pipes for that, but definitely not all. I'm away at college right now and my building has community showers; if anyone flushes a toilet on the same floor as the shower in use then the water gets extremely hot.
Actually the same thing happens in my house. It's because it's old, the cold water gets diverted to the toilet when someone flushes. My boyfriend does it just to be evil >:(
It's a real text. The house is old and the water gets scalding when you flush. A value size shampoo bottle had just fallen on my head when I bent over to find the nose ring I had just ripped out with a washcloth. I thought by masturbating in there I might still salvage the experience... Fail.
