First Post, also, Water Pressure!

Welcome to Kirb Your Enthusiasm. It's just a rant site, or a forum for my discussions (basically a "creedthoughts.") So, I'm sitting in Hogwarts (aka Torgerson Bridge, Virginia Tech) and I was deciding what to write about. And this is what I chose. As I was walking by the bathrooms here, I thought about stopping to get a drink from the water fountains there, but I finally decided not to, and here's why: despite the disgusting decision to have a drinking fountain so near where people are pooping (haven't they ever heard of "don't shit where you eat"?!), water fountains, bathrooms and I go way back.

In my old high school, all of the water fountains were next to the bathrooms so you didn't really have a choice of where to procure your water (unless you wanted to drink from the bathroom faucets...) This was fine. The only problem was that if you were drinking and someone happened to be in the bathroom and they flushed, the water pressure of the fountain would fluctuate. The effect was thus: drinking happily, audible flush, water stream lessens, water stream returns, troubled thoughts about what is in water. When I was younger, I found the causal relationship between the water pressure and the toilet troubling. Now, in my more mature and empirical collegiate mindset, I know that the water pressure is simply lessening as water is diverted from the fountain to the toilet bowl, but it was still gross!

Thus, I do not drink water from bathroom water fountains. I know, freak, right?
