If I have water in a jug, how long would it take to go bad (stagnent) in a 65 degree environment?
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Water going bad

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Well...I have few comments.
Most muncipal water is chlorinated, so if you used a clean jug (like one that was rinsed clean with a few drop of household bleach) and put the water directly from the tap in the jug and cap it, I assume it would be good for days to weeks. Capping it would preserve the chlorine in solution.
fyi: 65 F is well below the optimal temp for most organisms that cause disease.
Now if your finger or lips touched the top of the jug, or used a jug you previously drank out of then you have likely inculated the jug with several million microbes. I say in a few days you will get some growth, likely due to a 'slime bacteria' or fungi something similar. It is unlikely that it organisms that will actually cause disease will be around, as most disease causing microbes are out competed by normal environmental bacteria, fungi, and strepomycetes.
now take a unopened poland springs bottle, put in on warm windowsill in sun, come back in a week. You will be suprised what little 'freinds' are floating in the water. Are they harmful, unlikely.
Google: 'environmental microbiology wiki' and you will see what I mean.
Stuff like Aquafina that is muncipal water that undergoes further purfication (reverse osmosis) I would not hestiate to leave in a hot trunk of car in the summer for a few weeks.
Bottom line, small organism (microbes) are everywhere, but 99.9% don't really cause disease. The ones we mostly study in medicine are the ones that cause human disease in otherwise healthy individuals. Most 'microbes' actually help us! They are essential to most natural ecosystems.
I hope that helps.

I am assuming it's 65 degrees Fahrenheit. 
Anyway - I personally don't leave water in jugs (plastic) for longer than 5-6 hours because than the water starts to taste a bit stale/off and looses its fresh taste.
I have no idea where you are from, but just to be safe, I would just spill out the water in your jug and drink new tap water.. not a big deal.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
