Every time I walk by a phone booth (albeit rarely, now), I shudder to think of how commonly used they used to be. How many people had their faces & mouths right up against the handset? I mean, who was responsible for cleaning those things? How often was it done? Gross.
Now it's water fountains. I see people use them, and the water that they don't capture with their mouths runs around their lips and falls back down, and in some cases right back on to the spot where the water shoots out. Then the next person takes a gulp.
