Public drinking fountains, yay or nay

wildcherry · ‎03-09-2010

I've never cared for public drinking fountains. I always have a water bottle with me, and if I don't, I buy a drink. I am totally turned off by them for so many reasons. They have to be the number one place to get a good dose of all kinds of germs. What say you?

I agree! I only use them as a last resort.

There are times neither one can be avoided

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Nay on drinking fountains.

Nay on public bathrooms.

Buying plastic bottled H20 isn't the answer either

I seldom ever see public drinking fountains anymore. This is 2014 and everyone is germ crazy.

Me, too!

In fact, I don't understand why people always need to have a drink of water, either carrying it, or using a public fountain.

If I think I need something to drink, I go into a coffee shop or restaurant or even a fast food place for tea. Honest to God, I do not get walking around with a water bottle.

Water is good for U & coffee is a diuretic. "Fast food place"? Really? Not!

What do people do if you really have to use the restroom?

I don't remember the last time I saw a drinking fountain, but I used them all the time in school.

I usually bring water in the car and then use a public bathroom when I have to go after drinking said water. ${#emotions_dlg.laugh}$

You left out the most important part: tea is better for you than water. You can look that up, there's plenty of info on the web.

Yes, even fast food places serve tea. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but even yesterday on this board, people were agreeing that McDonald's has good coffee.

Tea... better than water.
