You’re not the only one who thinks Norman water tastes disgusting…

If you're new to the Oklahoma City area, there are a few important things you should know about Norman. They include:

1. Never get blocked-in on someone's lawn on a OU game day
2. Avoid Lindsay Street at all costs
3. Don't eat the chicken on Campus Corner
4. Watch out for cops... especially on Main Street
5. Never drink the water

On that list, number five is the most important thing to watch out for, especially right now. I don't know if the bodies at Lake Thunderbird have floated closer to the water treatment camp, or if the pod of freshwater blue whales that call the lake home have had diarrhea, but the water spewing out of faucets at this moment is atrocious. It tastes so bad that even the Chickasaws want nothing to do with it.

And don't just take my word for it. I hopped on Twitter and typed in "Norman Water." The consensus?

Here are some random tweets:
