I’ve seen this joke done hundreds of times on TV and in movies growing up, but never experienced it myself. I have pretty much always lived in the suburbs in homes with their own water heaters, yet I still have yet to experience this phenomenon.
I don’t doubt that it’s possible, but the conditions to “trigger” it are probably very specific to regions where film makers and comic artists live.
As long as the temperature is high enough in the tank there should be plenty of hot water to wash dishes and not have a cold shower. Cooler sure, but just move the handle a smidge.
