drinking straight out of the faucet
    #7703454 - 12/01/07 04:45 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

There seems to be so many meaningless little manners and behaviors. Here's one. Why is it considered uncivilised to drink straight out of a sink faucet, without physically touching the faucet. Why would people judge you for this? There's nothing truly wrong with this action. It somehow just became "not appropriate" to do this. I believe societies need manners and characteristics that make sense, but there are so many pointless ones. Like tumors on a functioning hand, these things should be cut off.

You might as well (and by all means far more productive) to just stop caring about them.

Don't listen to these people. You should do what seems most acceptable to others. You should constantly worry about how you impact the lives of others, and try to conform to supporting their happiness. This is the key to your happiness...pleasing others for it's own sake.

Drinking from the faucet could save water. Because if you use a cup, then you may have to wash it, or put it in the dishwasher.

But, seeing as most of us do not put our mouths right under the faucet to chug all the water, maybe it would be even more efficient if we drank ALL the water in a cup, and set it out to dry or re-use it throughout the day. That way less waisted water is going down the drain.

That does seem to be the allmighty way to drink h2o...unless a treck was made to a local natural water source. You wouldn't need a cup, because you'd just drink straight outta the stream/lake. You wouldn't need to bring water, because you are hiking towards the water.
Yay, bend over and let that cool water, unhindered by a cup caress your jowels. Fill up a large somehow organically heady water storage device, and head back to town. By this time people are starting to feel a little funny. But you set up your storage device so that all you have to do is look up and open it so the water flows into your mouth. Close it up. No dishes, no mess, no wasted water. Now everyone's feeling really fuking sick, and begin vomitting and shitting all over the place. And the people who didn't get sick are covered in excrament and feel like the others were being very rude

yeah I don't say bless you when someone sneezes, it has nothing to do with being polite, it's because someone said so and originally if I remember right they said that because it had something to do with spirits taking control of a body or you soul escaping? I can't remember it was something lame like that.

I drink out of the tap all the time. I guess people think its gross but I've been doing it so long I think people just accept it. Doing it at other peoples houses is impolite so I don't do it unless I know them (or they're not in the room). It's nice having the water flow past you real fresh as opposed to sitting in the glass for ages.

Obviously sucking the end of the tap or something would be gross but if there's no contact, its fair play. Personally I hate when you go to somebodies house and they give you a glass to drink from and it has crusty shit all round the rim or something. And you can't wash it because that would be rude.

Spitting is also badly regarded. When I have a horrible taste in my mouth , or some mucus that made it's way to my tongue... Well I'm going to get rid of it ! I don't like to suffer just because people think spitting is gross. It's fun being evolved and shit , but I think we need to remember we're animals too :P

yes, of course. When I piss in the sink I just try to make sure there are no clean dishes in there, and I hone my aim in on the garbage disposal hole, so not much spray makes it to the counter. A quick rinse with soap and you're good. Note: only do this at your abode, or places where you are comfortable.

It's time for a "drinking straight out of the faucet" revolution. Who cares what others think of you, if you arn't really doing anything wrong!!!

Does seem like it could be a good study. All you would need to do is have some sort of meter below your sink about how much water is used. Or even a huge bucket, that you could weigh out.

My hypothesis would be that to save the most water, don't drink out of the faucet, and re-use your cup throughout the day. You are probably not going to get sick like some have eluded to on this forum. Hypochondria, now that is a real problem with people these days. Just think of all the pills you see on TV.

In a sense, I am saying, if you want to rebel, use a cup. HA!
