At work today, walked past the water cooler, noticed the bottle was empty. I was feeling helpful so I decided to change the refill.
I removed the old bottle, picked out a new one (there was a bit of old masking tape stuck to the side so i ripped it off??), I slid it out of it's holder, swung it up and hugged it close - these things are really heavy and awkward to carry. I manhandled the bottle onto the cooler and wiggled it into place.
I was wet through, the tape had been covering a split in the bottle, as I'd moved and squeezed the container, the water had leaked out all over me! Good grief!
I grabbed a passing member of staff and asked them to put their finger on the split, I found some gaffer tape, taped up the split and left a note for the water-cooler-man not to use split bottles in future! DOH!
