How does repeating this make any kind of point? Your anecdotes don't become a general rule across a continent.

For example, most I've been to do not. That doesn't become a rule now, it just disproves the point that hydration stations are the norm.

So why do you insist to dismiss the existence of other airports you've haven't been to that don't have water stations just because it doesn't match your personal experience? Please keep an open mind and arguments in good faith as per HN rules.

Claiming “many” proves nothing. There has been one claim in this thread, that Hamburg does not.

It does. https://www.wateratairports.com/topic/flughafen-hamburg-ham-...

>Claiming “many” proves nothing.

And claiming "every one I've been to" proves what exactly?

Great, but what does that have to do with my comments? Since I never mentioned Hamburg airport, so why rub that in my face?

I've been to other airports that don't provide water stations which I can talk about, but not Hamburg.

You could name them, but you don’t.

That's why he said Every airport I've *personally* been to in Europe does

What's your problem?

How does his statement ("every airport I've been to in Europe had a water station") refute my statement ("many in Europe do not so you're forced to buy the 4€ water bottles")?

I don't have a problem, but clearly you do so I'm gonna stop replying to you right here. Cheers!

Just because I replied to you doesn't mean I'm trying to refute you. Not everything is a fight. Chill

Have you heard of a bathroom?

Have you heard about having a civil discussion without being snarky for no reason?

Have you seen the dark patterns some airports use like very low taps that don't fit a water bottle under them in the sinks, or hooking up the taps to the warm water lines?

Also, tap water in some countries, while safe to drink, tastes awful, like chlorine, so even if you can get it from the bathroom tap, it's not ideal.
