To the person who stole my water bottle off a park bench on the Mainland North Linear Parkway:
I don’t care about the $5 water bottle you took. I cared about the gatorade in that bottle which I needed to keep myself hydrated during a grueling interval workout. Thanks to you, I had to complete a 90 minute workout with a dry, sore throat.
Naive me didn’t bother hiding the bottle because I figured anyone who saw it would assume it belonged to one of the many runners on trail and was still being used (considering it was full when you stole it.) —Cranky, sweaty runner

  1. Well, I thought it was a kind gesture on your part even though I don’t like red Gatorade. That, I spilled out onto the ground near where you left my gift. Next time: G2, grape.

  2. Maybe try not just leaving your shit lying around and assuming the public are decent people?

    Short answer… they’re not.

  3. “Water is better for you anyways, any real athlete knows this.”

    Hahahaha……. Maybe if you’re doing a light workout.

    If you’re doing a high intensity session or in a high temperature environment then you definitely need to replace potassium, sodium and a certain amount of carbohydrates. Which is where Gatorade comes in handy.

    Gatorade does contain high amounts of carbohydrates and calories so it shouldn’t be consumed all the time. So if you’re doing a thirty minute walk you can stick to water. If you’re partaking in vigorous activities much like the OB was, have some Gatorade.

  4. What you call a water bottle others could mistake for a urinal. Was that really warm gatorade in the bottle? Do not leave items around and then ingest afterward. STUPID!

  5. scumbags get thirsty. hard work doing nothing and being a piece of shit at the same time.
    However, I feel like you used your bitch to brag about your workout. you make it hard to give a shit.
    nobody cares about the details of your dumb workout.

  6. So you leave it laying around and someone walks by and sees it. Seeing no one around the person thought it was for the taking, so they took it. People, if you own something and want to keep it then either secure it or keep it on your body. They do have belts that you can put your cups in now.

  7. Yes, the person who stole your water bottle can read your mind and probably tee-hee-hee’d away, thinking: ‘This will dehydrate that annoying, cranky runner!’

  8. OB , next time, an empty disposable water bottle, filled with a yellow gatorade or other yellow coloured electrolyte drink …chances are slim to none anyones going to touch it ….the ewww factors too high ~;)
