How much longer will this water bottle be here?

Hi. Hello. Good evening. 

I have reason to believe this water bottle you see below has been in its same location in my work’s break room since, at least, mid August. 

How am I privy to such information? That is a great question. I am thrilled you asked it. The answer is because it was I who accidentally left it there while I relieved myself in the latrine across the hall. Then I simply forgot to retrieve it and went back to my cubicle. This was right before we moved to a temporary location before Labor Day. We moved back into this spot on October 1st. 
I’ve been checking up on my two month old bottle of Smart Water periodically ever since and, sure enough, nobody has touched it presumably because it’s full and people think it’s rightful owner is probably coming back to pick it up at any moment. But alas, that moment has never AND WILL NEVER OCCUR!

So, what say you? How much longer until this poor stale bottle of water is put out of its misery? I’m genuinely curious myself...

    That’s funny you brought this up. We were bought out by a new company (the reason for the temporary work space was because they were rewiring the place and renovating a bit) and they actually did change the cleaners as of 10/1. Water bottle has been immune to their cleanliness thus far.

    That's a full bottle of Smart Water? Such a waste of delicious hydration. I may have to plan an extradition. 

    People are weird about moving drinks & food that's not their's. That's usually a good thing.  

    You're conducting your own episode of "What would you do?"

    Of course you are.

    That would probably increase the odds of someone tossing it, right?

    What color are we talking about here?

    I thought this was a poll about how much longer water bottles, in general, will be around.

    To that topic, the tree hugger in me says they ought to be banned. people who buy bottled water by the case drive me crazy. use the tap, fuckers! or if you’re too much of a wuss, get the big giant water cooler thingee.

    Three day from now, one of your co-workers is going to put a bag of aluminum foil covered pop corn in the micro wave.  The vibrations and added sparks will cause enough vibration to skid the water bottle over the edge.  The bottle will fall on it's head and pop the top off, causing water to splash up onto and into the electrical outlet.  This, combined with sparks from the foiled popcorn will lead to an event that will make this man very, very happy:




    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.

    No. At this point he needs to leave it and check daily to see how this experiment in human behavior turns out.

    Every week I would put something else on it , like a sticker, thumb print, something.  Just to see how far it will go before someone tosses it.

    I say don’t tamper with the bottle, but I had the same thought that if you were to do something, change the color. But I say don’t alter.
    Im curious, Did anyone see you drinking out of the bottle? Do you always drink smart water? What’s the volume of foot traffic? Ect, ect.
    Is it possible everyone else is wondering, I wonder when The Juggler is going to pick up his trash?
    So many questions.
