Water
A few days ago I went over to the kitchen at work to get my water bottle. It's a 1-liter plastic bottle; I half-fill it with water and put it into the freezer in a tilted position. After it's frozen I fill the rest of it with water and have ice water for the day.
When I got to the kitchen, I was surprised to see my bottle sitting on the counter, thawing. From the amount of water melted, it must have been out there for hours.
I checked the freezer, and it was more than half empty. Nor had anything been put where my bottle had been. The refrigerator was also not crowded. The whole thing made me nervous. But I had a meeting and I needed water, so I filled up the bottle and went to the meeting.
At the meeting, I drank a few sips. It was probably psychosomatic, but it tasted bitter, and made my tongue burn. I dokl,,,,,,,,,, ,.jvgfnsd,.mzxcv..............
Heh. I was momentarily tempted to continue with "I'm a co-worker of Peter, and we're taking him to the hospital now", but that would be unforgivable. Anyway, the water really DID burn my tongue, so I'm throwing the bottle out and buying a new one (it was disposable anyway). I'm sure I wasn't poisoned, since I drank it several days ago and only had a sip or two anyway. But I still can't figure it out: why would someone take a bottle that didn't belong to them out of a shared freezer and leave it on a counter? It just doesn't make sense.
I realize that this is an incredibly trivial subject, but...it just doesn't make sense. Maybe the bottle fell out when they opened the freezer? But then why didn't they just put it back?
I'm stumped!
