Why do people do this? Fill a cup with water, drink most of it, then pour it out only to fill it again? I’d understand it if the water was warm, but today a co-worker and myself did it at the exact same time with water so cold it hurt our teeth.
And from what I’ve noticed, almost everyone does it, so my question is?
WHY??

I don’t do this. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody else do this. I think it’s just you and a few of your odd ball friends 
FTR, I’ll even drink yesterday’s water.

I’m with you Opus, I’ll go get a glass of water and drink some of it on my way to bed. Then the following morning, I’ll down the rest of it. Sometimes when I come home in the afternoon and its still there, I’ll drink it then too. It just doesn’t matter.
As for people pouring it out and filling it up again, its because they’re on Crack. I have never seen anyone do this. What part of the country are you from?

It’s cause they’re bored. Nervous habit.
I’ve done similar things, although not that.
Things like checking my e-mail three minutes after I deleted everything…
Life is boring… these things happen.

I do it…because most of the times the first cup is kind of warm…the next cup is colder…
Also I’ll do it at a strangers house just to make sure its rinsed… I pretend to sip it, but I pour it out and fill it up again.
You guys don’t do this? Wow. My whole family does it. My friends and the people I work with do it. It’s almost strange when somebody doesn’t do it.
I mean, even if an ultra-hurry is involved, I catch myself and others, doing it. So, I’m going to have disagree with it’s connection to boredom.
And DAYIUZ, I too drink yesterday’s water. Hell, I drink last weeks water, so I don’t think it has much, if anything, to do with the quality of the water.

We must like to see water pour out of cup, our lives are so interesting!

My husband does something similar (not with water, though. He swears the only way he’ll drink water is frozen and surrounded by scotch), he’ll fill a glass with whatever he’s drinking, take a long pull, then re-fill it and drink the whole thing.
I’ve asked him why he doesn’t just finish the glass, then pour more. He doesn’t know. I’ve always thought it was fairly bizarre.
Drink up, dear. I made it just for you.

Because water is free… if it were $3 a glass I bet they wouldn’t do it.
