I am a water snob. I hate tap water, but can handle it with ice or if it was refrigerated. I prefer bottled water… but dislike no name brands. Actually I really prefer Dansani or Aqaufina and Culligan’s water.
I am not sure why I am like this. I hate the taste of our city tap water. Unfortunately, my kids have developed a similar attitude. If the water cooler is empty, they will not drink. They will come and complain about nothing to drink.
When we lived in Ohio, we lived on the outskirts of the city. So we must have had well water. It stunk. None of us drank it.
In the States they sell milk in the gallon milk jugs. My dad started to collect them. He would wash them out and save them.
We had a big van and he would fill the van with the jugs.
He went to our school on a sunday and asked the janitor if we could fill up some water. Well I am sure the poor guy thought this was a one time think, so said sure. Well then sundays we would go to the school and fill up the water jugs. I am not exaggerating when I say at 60- 100.
It is crazy… stealing water. I always think of this when I see a milk jug. I think this had a profound effect on my attitude towards water.
Now I am a water snob.
