How come drinking fountains never work?!

I just find it interesting that a few of you in this thread have referred to drinking fountains as bubblers.

Being a Milwaukee native this is the term that I grew up with and was always told by outsiders that the rest of the world calls them drinking fountains. Now I see an Aussie poster, an Orlando poster and someone else call them bubblers.

I’ve only ever heard “bubbler” here. “Drinking fountain” sounds like one of those overly grandiose management-speak terms.

Lord, I wonder where you all live that drinking fountains actually serve their intended function without frustrating the hell out of you and/or jeopardizing your continued health.
