Waterbottles at my doorstep


Every month we receive two 5-gallon water bottles. They usually aren't waiting for me at my doorstep.


Usually, they are outside the front door of the apartment building. This means a series of getting the waterbottle from outside the main door, trying to figure out a way to get the main door to stay open to carry the bottle in the front door, then repeating the challenge with bottle number 2. This means that waterbottles are then at the bottom of the flight of stairs. Walk one bottle up the flight of stairs, place it at top, walk downstairs to get bottle number two, repeat. Two bottles, top of stairs. Phew. Lay one bottle on it's side. Carry bottle number 2. Start kick-rolling the bottle down the long hallway while I carry the other bottle. Adjust about 4 times when bottle starts to hit the hallway wall. Arrive at door. Balance bottle and get key/open door. Carry bottle 1 in. Lift bottle 2 off side, carry in.


This is why I was so pleasantly surprised when I arrived home to waterbottles at my doorstep! Thank you to the anonymous waterbottle carrier!
