I agree with the gf, It ruins the vibe by adding the vibe of somebody who can't cope with just using a normal water bottle.
If convenience is so wrong then why do we even have water bottles? Can't you cope with just using a normal cup? We are witnessing the next generation of water delivery systems, I say let the man have his gravity enhanced hydration. Hydrate or diedrate π€
Keeping water by the bed is more convenient than getting up for a drink, and the bottle prevents spills. If a gf objected to that I would be on OP's side, but clinging to the sucky tube bag even though it annoys his loved one is Sheldon Cooper level. I hope they work it out.
Bottles aren't perfect, you still have to sit up to use most of them as they generally need some way to let air in as you pull water out. The bite tube also prevents spills without having to move too much or otherwise disturb your partner with one of those pop-nib bottles that has to suck air back in when you release suction.
If she exists, it seems she has more of a problem with the way it looks than its actual functionality. That is a problem that can be solved as easily as getting a bag that doesn't contrast so much with the existing color scheme. Hilarious to suggest a relationship isn't working out over such a minor aesthetic disagreement though.
Being annoyed by a bag is Sheldon Cooper level
Itβs Sheldon all the way down.
A cup is a great idea. Every morning you can be surprised by what kinds of things float around the air at night, the insects that flew in while you brought in the groceries, heck, if you are lucky, you might even catch a spider or two. Happy sipping!
Damn wtf is going on at your house that this is a regular thing for you
Nah, Iβm with the other commenter.
Give a fly 5-9 hours to find a cup and it will.
That I get, somewhat, but the bug thing is just crazy to me. Water doesn't attract bugs, I've never woken up to a bug in my glass of water. Maybe dust, maybe the occasional cat hair, whatever, I'm unbothered. But bugs? regularly? That is a critical mass of bugs.
Yeah but 3Lβ¦
Plenty of decent folks have 3L+ reusable water bottles.
Sure, but do you want to be lifting that to your face in the dark at 3AM?
I would definitely drop it on my face.
Whatever works for folks, Iβm just saying that such things exist. I just go to the kitchen.
Yeah but could you imagine not having to???
I dunno I hate getting up in the night.
Iβm old and crippled. If Iβm up, Iβm up. But I meant what I said, whatever works for folks!
When I was recovering from my last major surgery, I had a 2L shmiggle or whatever itβs called on my nightstand for that purpose.
Why use bottled water when you have a reusable 3L pouch?
Why assume I meant nonreusable bottle when it makes much more sense that OP would have a reusable one - if not several, given their interest in hydration? I did in fact mean a reusable water bottle. But I'm probably being overly harsh, because what better way to tell your partner, "I'm someone you can rely on if the going gets tough," than hanging up a plastic water bag with a bite tube?
How dare you make a perfectly reasonable point? π‘
