My mom had told me since I was little not to flush the toilet while someone was in the shower. It was because when you did, it made the shower water cold. When I was 5, I accidentally flushed it because I forgot that my brother was in the shower. I started crying and my mom ran in the bathroom and asked me what was wrong. I told her that I flushed the toilet, and now all the pee was going to shower down on my brother. She set me straight, and I'm glad!
