Is this a breach of bad etiquette? Kindly advice?

The girl at the gym was very friendly with me. Then yesterday without asking me she took my water and drank some. I was so angry. She did not even ask me. I gulped down the rest and kept the bottle in my bag. At home i called the coach and told him. He advised me to be cool. But I said atleast they should ask and take. Not drink my water as if they dont know its my bottle. He asked me to cool down and told me that girl is a very nice girl and not to worry. I was like ok thanks and dont misunderstand me, I buy a bottle of mineral water everyday and cannot have someone drinking it up. He told he will give me another bottle and not to carry mineral water. So did I do the wrong thing by informing him? I like that girl and dont want to make any bad feelings but nowadays people atleast some have no manners... thats what I was so bugged about. 8 hours at work, then the gym and have someone drink my water up. I travel home 45 minutes as well. I didnt need this...Is this a breach of bad etiquette? Kindly advice?
dude with all the diseases out there you were right in getting angry





she has no right taking your water and as you are not a child you do not need to run to anyone you should tell her hey thats my water dont drink it


if she takes offence then she is not a nice girl is she


ps how nice can she be stealing your waterIs this a breach of bad etiquette? Kindly advice?
Yeah, that was really bad manners. I would have said something in a joking way like ';WOW! Did you just drink my water or was that yours?'; Of course, she would say ';Oh, sorry I thought it would be okay?'; Then you would say ';That's okay, next time I will just bring two and then you can have one.





If you don't say anything (in a nice way) then she may do it again. That would not be cool!
I think I would have said something to the girl like ';hey isn't that my water?'; looking around, ';did you confuse it with yours?';
it seems to me, if she is so friendly with you she need to hold the bottle and wait for a glance from you. If she sees your eyes narrowing and a smile on your lips it means an approval and she can go on have a gulp from it.





it is generally what happens in us guys when we are friends, there is no need to ask explicitly!!





you need to be more open, come on do not be self preserving.....
The girl, while she has a kind reputation, was extremely rude for drinking your water without permission. Even good friends ask first. You did the right thing by not making a huge scene with the girl and instead asking for advise from someone else who helped you calm down. From now on, keep your water close to you or in your bag (if it wasn't before). If she tries to drink your water again, stop her. Be polite, but firm that you don't want her to drink the water because you really need it yourself.
You were absolutely right in expressing your anger to the coach. However you have to take control of such small things yourself. Learn to say ';No'; politely, which will not offend the person. And next time if she does it again, you can politely tell her that you dont drink water from someone else's bottle, if she feels thirsty, she can bring her own.


If you think this would be a little rude, then you can certainly ask her if you can buy her a bottle of water.


this will certainly make her realise her mistake, and you will keep your dignity also intact.
she's not a nice girl after all...when you meet her again, tell her what she did was wrong and it should never happen again...
It is always better to ask and take permission.





However, let us look at the things from a different point of view.





You and your belongings, 'the water' were instrumental in quenching the thirst of an other person, can you imagine, how nice she might have felt and perhaps she took it because she felt friendly and nice towards you. Can you measure those feelings in a few cents and dollars.





If I were you I would keep two bottles especially when you say you like the girl and she was very friendly with you, instead of being angry, also this is because my budget and heart does permit that.
Ummm.. maybe it was a mistake? I would have just labled my bottle from now on, and THEN if it continued, I would confront the girl, not the coach. Just tell her you don't like other people drinking out of your bottle. If she doesn't stop after that, THEN she's being REALLY rude!
Ummm, yeah I would have totally said something about it. I can't have anyone drinking my water! Especially if they didn't ask for it!





ugh!
the act of that gal against the ethics and etiquette.but i m asking u with full of ethics: i m thirsty , can u give little water to me please? lol
I HATE when people drink out of my watter! backwash yuck! I have a fit if anyone drinks out of my anything, even my children. So most people know because I act crazy about it. So I say have a fit next time it happens and it wont happen again :)
That was absolutely rude of her. She should have asked. And i wouldnt have drank from it after her, because you dont know where her mouth has been! I think if you have been friends for years, that is different, but even then.its still rude. Next time, dont leave your stuff around her..and if she does manage to take your things...speak up! tell her, she should ask first,..or that your sorry, but its your only bottle.
No!!! What if she had some sick nasty disease? I probably would've just not said anything and thrown it away. But the next time put your name REALLY big in all caps. Maybe she'll get the hint.
