when you leave water in a glass for a day or two and then drink it(accidentely!), why does it taste bad?

Tap water has chemicals and or deposits in it. The water evaporates and leaves higher concentrations of these in the glass and this changes the flavor of the water.

I think it tastes great, like water would taste if it were on the moon. We have bacteria in our mouth, so the co-mingling of the water bacteria and the bacteria from my mouth make for good fireworks.
Also oxygen hasn't gone through it in awhile, which is good, i get enough of that from just breathing.

The oxygen needs to be fresh! Just fill a new glass and the new oxygen will go into glass with the new water.

Bacterial multiplcation. Their growth results in the production of some products which gives a foul smell.
