Oddly we found it happened most when we used an electric shower. Which heats its own water because only uses cold water. How the fuck that was the most effected I have no idea.
Moved across town and now got a heat pump that does our heating and hot water, it doesn’t really seem to care that much.
If you’re in a cold environment, the water that’s been sitting in the pipes in the house will be warmer than the water coming in from outside the house. If the sink/toilet/whatever increases water usage, that warmer water gets used up more quickly.
Water chills the body about 25 times faster than air of the same temperature, so even a 1-2 degree temperature change can feel like a LOT when it’s sudden.
It depends mostly on how it’s plumbed I believe. In many houses, it’s one hot water pipe that goes to every faucet. If there are multiple pipes in parallel, it’s supposedly better
