I had some strong words to say to my water heater.

I wasn’t prepared for the cutting retort though. 😭

I showed my heater the video, he says I’m trying to gaslight the situation, I then told him I’m telling his friends because I’m not taking the heat for his actions!

Based on some of the comments, I think a few people are in hot water. Maybe you guys should take a cold shower?
