I do feel like this is a fundamental misunderstanding I had with one of my housemates. For me, showers are an assault on the senses where I have to balance overheating but having the water hot enough to loosen oil. For her it was a reprieve and pleasurable. Unfortunately, I also have bladder issues and need to use the bathroom a lot randomly :(
Yeah, I start the shower hot then gradually increase the temp as I get used to it, and I’m usually in there until the hot water runs out. I’ve had housemates comment on how hot I have it based on the position I left the tap mixer. But it’s a critical part of my wake-up routine, the very first part of which is getting up to pee. So I rarely need to pee mid-shower. If I do, I just hop out and pee while dripping wet and hop back in.
Anyway, between that and my morning coffee I need to get up at least an hour before I leave for work. I’ll compromise with a takeaway coffee if I’m running late, but if I’m so behind that showering is gonna make me late, so be it.

I mean, unless it involves a waffle stomp, ain’t no shame in taking a piss in the shower. It can be quite liberating too.
I did not know what waffle stomping was. I regrettably do now.
