Dump station fools
Seems like there was a thread about the same general thing recently, but I can't find it so I'll start over.
Today at the dump station, a couple are on the other side of us, dumping their small TT. There is no potable water there. There is a hose on a vertical arm with a reel of hose at the top, so you can pull it out and into your RV if you want. And there is a regular hose spigot facing each lane. With a big sign saying DO NOT DRINK THIS WATER.
So anyway, he finishes dumping. After a minute, I notice he has a nice new looking white drinking water hose out. He proceeds to attach it to the spigot and the wife takes it into the TT to put it in the toilet (I am assuming). I was so stunned that I didn't keep enough wits about me to consider telling them what they were doing wrong. I normally would try to keep my advice to myself, but really, they needed someone to speak up.
I had stuff to do, and people were waiting. When I finished, she came out with the hose and said, "all the lights are still on", which I took to mean they were worrying about the tank level indicators. At that point, we left. I wish I would have said something. I might have gotten chewed out for it, but it would have rolled off my back pretty soon.
My DW says maybe they had a separate hose just for that. Um, I am betting not. Oh well.
