    You were given the reason why and then disagreed with it based on feeling you have about how things are instead of actual data.

      actual data

      Oh shit, I must have missed this data. Can you provide this so-called “actual data” that I was presented with and ignored?

      Take a look at my edit. If it’s a full, unopened water bottle, I’m not completely sure. But if the bottle is open (you know, like trash thrown on the ground almost always is), it’ll break if you step on it.

        Plastic doesn’t tear just because you feel it’s weaker than it used to be. And, You are being childish.

        I really don’t care to read about how you are possibly able to comprehend other people’s points, and the legit reason why clubs and spaces are worried about sealed bottles on the ground because of personal feelings as long as you stretch it to match your desired view of the world. Be wrong once in a while.

          Plastic doesn’t tear just because you feel it’s weaker than it used to be.

          Are you sure? I really believed that the plastic water bottle I stepped on yesterday immediately cracked and crushed directly as a result of my belief that the plastic is weaker. The power of the mind.

          I guess it was just physics and material science.

          And, You are being childish.

          Thank you, that means a lot. I still feel young inside despite getting older, so that compliment means a lot.

          For a moment of seriousness: people can step on and fall on any bottle, and no shit clubs are going to do everything to cover their ass (or at least be able to say they did in a court).

          A full, unopened water bottle will definitely make you fall easier. But an empty bottle? No. It can still make you fall, but it’s just as hazardous as an empty water bottle with no cap.

          Again, unless we’re talking about the couple major Coke and Pepsi brands that still use thick plastic.
