Why does the ceiling starts to drip on the floor when someone takes a hot shower?
There are several possibilities; some of them indicate plumbing problems, and some of them are just consequences of physics. If the ceiling in the room with the shower drips all over during a hot shower, it may simply be that water vapor from the hot water is condensing on the relatively cool ceiling and dripping. If the ceiling in the room with the shower drips in a particular place, then it may be that the hot water pipe is leaking. (It's unusual for the hot water pipe to run through the ceiling instead of running up inside the wall, but it's not impossible.) It's also possible that it's condensation again, but that the condensation is only occurring at a particularly cool spot... perhaps where the ventilation system or a cold water pipe runs through the ceiling above. If the ceiling in the room underneath the shower drips after someone takes a shower, but only a hot shower, again it's probably the hot water pipe. If the celing in the room underneath the shower drips regardless of whether hot or cold water is used, then it's most likely a drip in the shower drain pan.
Why do shower curtains stick to you in the shower is on hot?
They actually don't care about you.The hot water heats the air in the shower. The hot air has lower pressure and rises to the ceiling, escaping through the opening between the shower curtain and the ceiling. This process forces the relatively cold air in the rest of the room to sneak in under the curtain, thus forcing the curtain inward and (annoyingly) onto you.
