gag How excessive frugality can land you in … lots of water

April 4, 2007

or, in my case, half drown me. Usually, I bring a water bottle because I remember to drink water more often, and it’s less wasteful than using, and tossing, a cup a day. Something about a water cup just doesn’t register on my “drink me” radar. Unfortunately, I forgot my water bottle today.

Coworker offered to make me a cuppa hot chocolate right after I’d filled up my 12 oz cup with cold water. Torn, I decided to down the water so that I could get in on the hot choc action without wasting another cup. Apparently, coworker didn’t believe that I’d do that and started laughing at me when she realized that I was really drinking all my water in one go. Of course, that started me laughing and I nearly drowned myself.

All to save the office/environment another wasted cup. Go Mother Earth!
