Water Thief on the Loose in Williamsburg

waterthief0909.jpg

Doesn't everyone in Williamsburg know that drinking out of a plastic water bottle (or a dated Sigg bottle) will lead to certain death*? One water consumer ordered a case of Poland Spring to the mailroom recently (is this something that people do?), only to have it stolen. The bisphenol-A has clearly gone to their head, as they skipped right over passive-aggressive and penned an aggressive-aggressive note to the thief, wishing them to choke. A ransom note, declaring the water was "fine," was posted in reply. One tenant in the building says, "This goes a long way to explaining my love/hate relationship with my neighbors."

*Unsubstantiated!

Too Funny! finders keepers, losers weepers.
yeah yeah, I know, don't take stuff that's not yours.
but it's still funny. just bring the case of water inside your apartment.

Get a fuckin Brita water filter and be live with it you snobs.

He must be caught soon before his crimes escalate. No longer content stealing Poland Springs, cases of Evian and Perrier will begin to disappear without a trace.

yellow legal pad paper Vs. Pink construction paper.
interesting.

The dude is a douche for stealing water but the tenant is a douche for ordering water to a mailroom. Live in a building with security/frontdesk like all of us regular upper middle class folk. I work my security/frontdesk woman to the bone. Everyday she has two packages for me at least and freshdirect groceries. Then she gets a big old 40 dollar tip from me come christamastime.

damn hipsters and their water!

Brooklyn tap is awesome!
