Prediction: The water would bead up in one big drop or bubble, because surface tension pulls water into spherical shapes in freefall. (Alternatives considered: the water flies off; the water streams away; nothing happens.)

Reality: No, not so much.

What I got wrong: I focused too much on surface tension and forgot about adhesion to other surfaces.
