Who's "fault" is this?

Person A puts things in the sink, as dishwasher is on, at some point water from various sources (cooking, tumble drier, rinsing a bowl out) was put into sink and a mug was filled at some point with water from some source.

Person B needs to take paracetamol,and decides to drink the water in the mug in the sink.

Person B starts gagging and making wretching noises and asks Person A what is in the mug, and implies that Person A shouldn't have left that water in the mug.

Person A thinks that Person B shouldn't have drunk random sink water,and should have used the glasses and fresh tap water right next to the sink.

So, was Person A wrong to leave the random water in the mug. Or was Person B wrong to drink the random water and then blame person A for being "poisoned".

Does B stand for brainless buffoon ?

PinkWaferBiscuit · 30/10/2021 11:58

Gosh jus how lazy is person 2 that they would drink a cup of water that is sitting in the sink rather than get a glass and fill it up.

I'm not entirely sure how anyone would think person 1 is either unreasonable for leaving the cup in the sink or for the last inaction of person 2. Maybe next time person 2 will be less of a lazy bones.

Did person A walk up to a sink full of dirty dishes and drink 'found liquid' out of a mug that was in the sink?!

Unless I have misunderstood, person A is a danger to themself and others if they really think they were blameless in this situation!

ThinWomansBrain · 30/10/2021 11:59

at my laziest I'd have run the tap to rinse out the cup and fill with fresh water.
& I live by myselfHmm

Coulddowithanap · 30/10/2021 11:59

Why would you drink some random liquid?

DysmalRadius · 30/10/2021 11:59

Sorry - got the people the wrong way round, but you get the gist!

itsgettingwierd · 30/10/2021 11:59

Well clearly person B is a dick Grin

But perhaps a defence of they clearly aren't feeling 100% if they are taking paracetamol?!

CounsellorTroi · 30/10/2021 12:00

Person B is at fault.

TheQueef · 30/10/2021 12:00

Eurgh.
Person B is a dirty cat.

NewPapaGuinea · 30/10/2021 12:02

Person A was wrong for putting things in the sink. One my pet hates.

Changechangychange · 30/10/2021 12:02

Person B. Do they also take swigs out of random beer cans they find in the street, and get upset when they contain cigarette ends or piss?

Banani · 30/10/2021 12:05

Why would you drink random liquid from washing up in the sink? Person B is very odd

CounsellorTroi · 30/10/2021 12:07

Why would anyone in their right mind want to drink water from a mug in the sink as opposed to running some fresh tap water?

ApolloandDaphne · 30/10/2021 12:08

Person B is daft. No-one in their right mind would drink from a mug of random liquid which has been sitting in the sink.

dementedpixie · 30/10/2021 12:09

Person B should have got a fresh mug/glass and poured fresh water from the tap

DaxtheDestroyer · 30/10/2021 12:10

It's clearly person B. Who does that?! Who just randomly drinks sink water?

HunterHearstHelmsley · 30/10/2021 12:10

Person B is very strange.
