You didn't let it run for a bit before drinking??

If I'm dying of thirst sure I'll drink through a garden hose without a second thought. If I am thirsty I'll wait until I'm near a tap. I don't understand the weird obsession people have with proving hose water is clean. It's like yeah I'd eat an apple off the ground if I really needed it, but if I have the option for a cleaner apple within 50 feet, I'll take that option.

Toilet water is also clean. Still I wouldn't drink out of the toilet.

In a pinch, you CAN drink out of the tank as long as you don't have those toilet cakes in them. But the bowl? That's for the dog.

I meant your "especially if it has been sitting in the sun" thing

Nope. When you're 9 and been running all day long and it's as hot as balls and you just want a drink.. Ehhhh. I think everyone does that once or twice.

Garden hose water is just gross.

I don't think we ever drank from it without letting it run for a bit lol
