Because you're once again wrong?

I recall indeed having operated car doors that had two distinctive 
"open" positions. Never paid much attention to this though, so I can't 
tell what percentage of cars seem to have such a feature.

Maybe because upstairs the water mains pressure drops below atmospheric 
pressure (or at least too low to provide any significant throughput) at 
peak load times?
