Your comment reminded me of a similar experience of mine, but in reverse.

I was washing my hands in the restrooms at work, and decided to drink some water. I bent over, cupped my hand and started drinking.

At this moment, a guy went out of another stall and walked up to the sink next to me. He was some sort of manager, I guess, because he'd always be in a suit when I've seen him around the office before. When I got up, I saw him drinking water the same way I did, only he was failing to get much of it into his mouth. :-) Obviously, this was his first time.
