Do you close your eyes when you are drinking from the water fountain or do you keep them open?

Just wondering. This is a serious thread by the way.

Open. I keep my eyes open in my own shower in my own house just incase an intruder appears out of thin air whilst I wash my hair. Nothing makes me more uneasy than when someone is standing behind me at the fountain

I also sit with my back to the wall in every restaurant and bar…too many spy novels as a teenager I think.

Open, and generally don't do it because retards and bums like to put their entire mouth over the spout and suck it like a dick.

Very un-hygenic.

Actually, there are no water fountains where I live.

Quote:There's one question I often get in Rome: Is the water -- especially from all those, yuck, public fountains -- safe to drink?

The short answer: Yes. And it tastes good, too.

Rome's never been a city limited in water usage, as I wrote in my recent Guardian piece. By the first century A.D., thanks to the aqueducts, the city had 1,000 liters of water available per person, per day. Today, there are 500 liters available. Per family. Still, though, more than enough.

And lots of that water still freeflows out through the fontanelle (little fountains) placed around the city. (You might also hear these fountains called nasoni, after their nose-shaped spigots). The water's brought in from outside the city. It's safe. Fresh. Super-cold. So do as the Romans do: Save your €1.50 and refill your water bottle at the nasoni. There are 2,500 in the city, so you shouldn't have trouble finding them.
