    Wait…you guys DRINK from those fountains??? Huh.

    This whole time I thought it was a penis washing station. Welp. That explains why so many people get angry at me…

    The non-can-only-be-used-to-refill-a-bottle kind of water fountains being as ubiquitous as they seem to be, seems to be a uniquely American thing.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in the UK since I was in school

    They really should just be water dispensers so people can fill a reusable bottle or cup. Water is such a basic, universal need that it should be readily available at all facilities that are open to the public. That’s generally the case, but I’d go a step further and argue that there should be a clearly marked water dispenser within an arms reach of each bottled water display. I buy bottled water sometimes, but it’s because I forgot my bottle. I use the new one as a temporary one.
