What happens to the hair dryer in the bathroom?

Right now I read an article about the conductivity of current in a liquid and a question arose.
If we throw a working hair dryer into the bath, will it just stop working due to the impossibility of passing current in the motor? Will it work again after drying?
And if you are in the bathroom at this time, then you won’t get an electric shock?
Or maybe I misunderstood what I read and clean water never flows from our tap?

If the bathroom is sterile and there is distilled water that "almost" does not conduct electricity, then the hair dryer will continue to work further, after drying there will be nothing (if the metal does not rust)
But since there is plain water in the bath, a short circuit will occur when lowered, it will work machine in the shield and turn off the hair dryer.
If you connect bypassing the machine, you get an ordinary boiler that will shock you. Although I don’t remember how much the grounding of the bath itself affects

While no one is looking, the hair dryer in the bathroom is flirting with the washcloth.
