Is it ok to share a water bottle? Monday night at Zumba was great, doing all the moves and sweating like a banchie (sp). All of a sudden I hear someone say "oh, no! I just drank someone else's water!" Well of course it had to be MY water! Could she have picked anyone else's? ..nope, had to be mine, the cheapest bottle sitting there .. County Market brand, probably from the dirtiest stream ever. She had just bought a famous brand named bottle from a machine downstairs. She says to me after I walk over there and confirm it was mine, "I am so sorry, I drank your water" ... OH LORD, now I have NO water... WTF... I don't dare drink from it ... she probably doesn't have anything I could catch but what if ... what if she has the beginning of the slightest cold. I don't dare even think of it, I can't risk getting sick this close to contest.

She apologized all over the place and I told her not to worry about it. Knowing I would have to suck down a ton of water after getting home. I don't know why but I had feelings of embarrassment for her and didn't want her to see I was dying of thirst .. not just yet anyway. Next thing I knew, as I was turning around once in a while during our class, she was gone from her spot. I knew it, could sense it .. she left to go buy a new bottle of water for me. And that is exactly what she did, after the class was over she told me she bought me a new bottle of water. I felt so bad, kept telling her she didn't have to do that. I really could have managed. Last night she was there again, I think she avoided me still out of embarrassment. I hope it will pass soon, I still feel bad for her.
