Water bottles

Among only a few things that I dislike in life are the water bottles- the one that are ubiquitous in any IT company. Yeah... right. The same ones that are filled religiously every morning and are adored on desks. I have a strong dislike for these bottles- in particular the purple color ones.

Readers, I believe are intelligent enough to by now have inferred that this bottle is not among my prized possession. Despite thinking hard for several hours and several times, I have lost terribly each time to understand why they are required and how anything for that matter is affected by their presence or absence.

Water bottles are ok with school boys and girls or if you diseased or aged or if you are engaged into any physically challenging activities like cycling, trekking or may be if you are in a desert. But here, its 25-30 year olds and not diseased and people in IT company are known for their potbellies, so no question of physically challenging work either and with AC at 16 degs, its far from being desert. Then why water bottles? I would say why not walk a few steps to the water-filter and have sips whenever you are thirsty? There are a few guys whose only work in office is filling these little witches.

Another issue is the problem caused to the people who are sensible like me to not have a bottle. These pig-heads stand for hours filling that little thing careless about the irritation caused to the guys waiting behind them with paper-cups in their hands.

If you too possess a water bottle and got hurt by my blog, then, I will congratulate myself for my blog served its purpose.
