- sneak 10mo agoIt says right on the bathroom faucet that it isn’t for drinking - anyone brushing their teeth with the sink water is a fool.
- zdc1 10mo agoI think that's a bit of a harsh take. People will use what they can get, and they may be assuming the signage was placed there for compliance/legal box-ticking reasons rather than because it will actually make them sick.
- otterley 10mo agoIf you fail to heed a warning, though, the law provides that you assume the risk of injury that could result and contributed to your own injury. Without assumption of risk, anyone who provides any services would be strictly liable for any injury, even for those that don’t result from inherently dangerous activities. That would mark a significant change in the law and would suddenly make a lot of activities and services infeasible to provide.

- gosub100 10mo agoThere's a YouTuber named Stig Shift who chronicles his job as an airline mechanic and he insists the bathroom water is clean enough to drink.

- shimman 10mo agoYou'll survive.
- pewpew_ 10mo agoIf you have good dental hygiene missing a brushing shouldn’t be a big deal. It can wait until you reach your destination.
- ecb_penguin 10mo agoIt's fine. If you're consistent, you can go a few days and it won't make a difference to your health.
- airstrike 10mo agoAs someone who's never had even a single cavity, when I brush it, it's not because of dental health but for comfort.
- ecb_penguin 10mo agoSure, I hate the way my teeth feel if I don't brush. But I also don't care enough to use a gross plane bathroom. If I'm that concerned, I'd use some mouthwash.
- airstrike 10mo agoIf I'm taking an 8 hour flight after hours at the airport, transit, etc. and am already using the plane bathroom for physiological reasons, I don't mind a quick brush with bottled water...
