I don't recommend the following but in our old house I used to tie my outlet ground (that was free floating) to the radiator which was grounded. It worked until my mother reported the shower water was feeling "very harsh".

Sounds like the radiator was not actually grounded and the device plugged in had a ground fault.

If the radiator was actually grounded, why would there be any effect on the water?

Yeah, I could theoretically tie my outlet ground to the gas pipe. Doesn't sound like a good idea.
