      That’s what I thought too, until a bunch of angry parents chased me out of the park claiming their kids drink out of there.

      Who lets their kids drink from a bidet?!

        Actually insane. Whenever my friends come over, they always ask why I have a “water fountain” – whatever that is – installed in my bathroom. I point to the faucet in the kitchen and ask ‘em what they think that is. They aren’t too bright, sometimes.

        I don’t let my kids drink from public fountains, either. You know that episode of Parks and Rec where the Pawneans drink from fountains by putting the whole fountain spout in their mouths? I’ve seen that happen. I’ve also seen kids wipes their snot-dripping noses and the touch the spout. I’m glad it’s available, but it’s a last resort.

      Even wipes are better (just don’t flush them, no such thing as flushable wipes, that is a lie they put on the box).

          Every plumber I’ve spoken with said that “flushable” wipes are 100% bullshit and to never flush them.

              Yeah I’m gonna go ahead with the multiple professionals who have advised against it over some random person on the Internet, thanks!

                  Relaying professional advice doesn’t really make it my advice, but you have a good day. Have fun arguing with strangers on the Internet, I’m gonna go have some fun.

                    You never mentioned anything about a professional in your first comment… so no you weren’t sharing professional advice, you were providing your quite uneducated opinion. Sounds like you just didn’t like that you were told wrong by someone and are now lying to safe face.

                    People are so strange.

                    I wasn’t arguing, I was providing advice just like you were, you really are a hypocrite and can’t see the irony here can you…? You turned it into an argument after, I can provide proof that they’re sceptic safe, but most people have sewer systems and it’s not gonna be easy to explain the difference to people with your attitude.

                    If you don’t have a sceptic system, of course thee advice YOU receive will be for your sewer system. A plumber isn’t gonna confuse the average home owner by explaining, that yes, there is actually some systems where you can. They just tell you the blanket rule. But then you go and perpetuate that information, without knowing it’s not a gospel rule.

                    So no, it’s not a lie, it’s for people with sceptic systems so they know THEY can use them, they aren’t for you lmfao.
