    A cup for what? I am so confused by this entire post. Why would I need water while brushing my teeth? A little bit before and after. But during? Theres no use for that. Do other people brush their teeth entirely differently than me?

      Americans using sinks in movies have been confusing me throughout my entire life. They seem to open the faucet when they enter the bathroom and only turn it off if they leave. They leave it running when they brush their teeth, talk to someone or stare into the mirror.

      Same thing with fridges. If they take something out or put something in, the fridge stays open, sometimes during entire conversations. I don’t understand it. Even if you don’t care about the wasted energy, it gets cold (US fridges are almost freezers) and leaving the door open for so long gives the killer enough time to stand behind it and scare you to death when it is eventually in your convenience to close it.

      A cup of water you filled befor to rinse your mouth after brushing.

      I would guess that you “need the water while brushing” because they spit into the sink and to wash that away immediately instead of rinsing the sink and spit out toothpaste foam after finishing brushing.

      Not something I do but I could imagine people being particular about it for some reason.
