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.
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.
Sorry, I missed that. That’s actually really interesting and the only good answer I’ve seen so far; people doing harm thinking they are doing good. Still hate it though… The cap gets in the way of drinking.
I understand that’s the reason. My point it, I’m surprised and amazing this doesn’t happen automatically already. I’ve never not put the cork back on a bottle when it was empty.

I guess me? don’t spill and it’s not a problem just like a glass
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.

When I squash a (gallon) jug it sometimes warps the opening so that the cap doesn’t fit anymore.
True enough. Didn’t think of it as I’m used to a recycling system where you don’t crush them. In fact, if you did, you wouldn’t get your deposit back.
Could simply be to keep the material together. Makes sorting easier.
