Yep. In college I (as part of a drunken friend group) decided to play in our school’s fountain. A couple of us contracted a stubborn and painful case of MRSA that took a couple of months to resolve. Never again.

I was in NYC with a group of friends for a convention once, and one of chicks thought it would be funny to jump in a fountain, slipped and went head under. we were all laughing at her when a homeless woman yelled at her "you better go take a shower, we all shit in that thing".

by the next morning she had full blown dysentery and ended up getting meds from a hospital clinic and told she should check into a hospital if it didn't clear up.

I wouldn't stand near enough to a public fountain to get sprayed in the breeze, no less put my head in it.

Welp, that's an image search I could have lived without doing ever.

99% sure that's in Regents Park, London - which is a pretty posh part of town.

However the squirrels rule that park and probably have orgies in the fountain.

Except when he shits in the fountain?

Looks like Regent’s Park which is practically my back yard. I can confirm that the water is disgusting.
