Water fountains

When thirsty and approaching a water fountain, how does one, a priori, gauge the strength of that water fountain? It seems there are only three types, which I have named thusly:

1. Dribblers
2. Launchers
3. Just-righters

Dribblers are those you think would work but just barely bubble out, causing you to almost put your mouth on the spigot for any hope of drinking.

Launchers are those that appear normal but when you bend down to drink, they launch an aqua attack right into your forehead.

Just-righters are those that are just right (pretty obvious, I know).

I wonder if you took all of the water fountains in the world, what percentage would be Dribblers, Launchers, and Just-righters? If we knew these stats, maybe we could be better water fountain choosers.

  1. Let’s not forget the “Don’t Work At Alls”, nor the “technically deliver water, but it’s too warm to be really drinkable.”
