Perhaps I'm not used to it, but that sounds extremely silly and rude to me?
- graeme 7y agoLike I said, in extremis. The same way you might ask to use a bathroom at a business you were not a customer at, or to borrow something from a stranger to solve a clear temporary need. The sort of request that is granted with a smile if asked politely, and denied if asked rudely, basically. Part of the general fabric of society. You would only ask if you'd been out a while on a hot day and were parched, or something similar. There's surely some social analogue not involving water where you live?
- mrhappyunhappy 7y agoLack of public bathrooms is a real shame and a failure in planning. It is a universal human right to access a bathroom in public places, or else be okay with people pissing and shitting wherever. I think the same should apply to water access. If no public access to water, businesses should carry that “burden”.
