How To Take A ShowerA repost, but relevant. I once stayed overnight at the old Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas, before they erased the place with explosives for even grander pleasure palaces.
Water control for each room's shower was governed not by faucets, but by a big dial: rotate left for hot and right for cold. But how to turn the shower on? No levers, no buttons, no clue. I had to call for help. A hotel maintenance man came up many flights of stairs to explain: you PULL the dial away from the wall.

FaucetsStaying with friends in the USA a few weeks ago I was turning the single tap to clean my teeth and always got water but the pressure was variable. I put it down to their fairly rural location. On the fifth day of my week with them I discovered rotation was for temperature and you pullued the tap towards you for the flow. My previous twists had been sufficient to get water to flow.
