I’ll never forget the day in elementary school where I saw a kid casually put his mouth directly on the spout. Then it dawned on me: “There are probably others like him.”
Sounds like you were lucky then, because I remember elementary school too and probably every 5th kid did this on the regular. And have you ever dealt with the really young kids <6 years old? They'll ask for a boost, suck that spout like a teat, and let everything that they don't swallow run down their neck soaking their shirt, but they'll be hydrated.
No so much lucky - I’m just a kid that grew up with a diagnosed anxiety disorder. Good thing about an anxiety disorder is that you identify risks before everyone else. It’s like a shitty super power.
Did you by chance grow up in Pawnee? relevant Parks and Recreation clip
We had something like the first one when I was in high school. When I was a freshmen, I saw another student drop his pants, hop up on top of it, lower into the spout so it went ALL the way up his ass, reached around and turned the water on for a second, then lifted off and shot a wave of shit-water all over the basin/wall behind it, then hopped down and ran off giggling.
Yeah...
Haven't used a water fountain since.
How do I unlearn to read?
Edit: Solved!

I'm afraid you actually unlearned to write. Are you sure you really can't read what I'm saying?
..huh?
..what..?
Public high school in a sketchy area. You'll see some things.
I also don’t, simply because my high school had a string of vandalism where some kid was pulling all of the water fountains out of the walls. Like he was just ripping them straight out. There’s no way they could support someone putting their entire body weight on it to shove the spout up their ass.
Australia rejects your hierarchy.
Like cattle to the trough
I work in the industry and I have no idea why anyone would use anything other than the EZH2O for indoors. The other ones aren't even any cheaper.
This comment just made me realize that the EZH20 is both the model type as well as a description of what it does lol
Good naming of the product I'd say
and at least on the EZH2O you can see the quality of the filter that hasn't been replaced since twas installed
These things and kitchen sink blenders are the two most mysterious things for an European child watching US-Shows.
a class a few years ahead of me got one of the ezh2os as their senior gift. probably the most used senior gift I've ever seen, we were a small school and everyone used it every day. I think it hit 500,000 uses by the time I graduated a few years later
LMABF8 had the coldest water. I'm all for the EZH20 because I carry a bottle around with me and it's less likely to spread germs and causes less waste, but I feel like the water coming out of them is barely chilled. I like my water to be so cold it is borderline painful when I am drinking it.
Nothing hit as hard as coming out of gym class in high school and getting some fresh gulps of ice cold water from the LMABF8. Peak refreshment.
Fuck those top three germ spreaders.
Bottle filler is life.
I dunno what they put in those newer buttons, but they feel so satisfying XD
*Chnk* oh hell ya here comes the water
The germaphobia in me really want a version that is activated by a pedal that you step on.
But then, I'd probably be too afraid of shared water fountains to begin with.
it's funny that I've seen all of these in real life, though I rarely ever used them due to the obvious hygiene issues
Weak.
I glory in my conquest of our communal bacteria.
I actually hate the EZH2O. When you go to drink it activates the bottle stream in the back and reduces the water pressure so you have to go down further to drink. Well when you do that the bottle stream turns off and the water pressure goes back to normal and you get blasted in the face full force. Reminds me of my college days.
