    Why?! I dont get it. What kind of psychopath doesn’t put the cap back on when empty. Who opens a bottle, throws the cap away, and chugs away?! How is this a problem? I’m just so baffled this was/is a problem.

      When I squash a (gallon) jug it sometimes warps the opening so that the cap doesn’t fit anymore.

        But it’s one of the few benefits of plastic bottles; if I don’t finish it, I can re-seal it. It’s not about spilling, it’s about preserving.

          I guess personally if I’m leaving and I’m not done with it I just chug it quick and throw it away

      Uh, I was replying to someone who said it’s essential to separate lids from their bottles. It’s not psychopaths who are doing this — it’s people who think it’s the right thing to do.

      Could simply be to keep the material together. Makes sorting easier.
