Should I be annoyed or have a sense of humor?

I share a grad-student office with 3 other people. Lately the others have thought it's funny to hide my water bottle after I leave for the day (I normally come in earlier than everyone else). I'm all for friendly office pranks every once in awhile but this just gets more obnoxious than anything. I get in to no one here with my water bottle hiddlen. I fill it up at least 4 times a day so I'm used to having a constant supply. I end up spending the beginning of my day just searching for it annoyed. Should I have a sense of humor about it or would you just be annoyed too?

  • Occasional is funny. Daily is annoying. I'd start taking it home.

  • Ditto ECB. But it is par for the course in a grad student office.

  • Ditto the others.

    Though I suppose if you want them, I could send you a box of extra water bottles that DH has from work (he also works in a university and they always order like, a billion of these things). Could you imagine how amusing it would be if they hid it and you just kept pulling them out of your bag everyday?

    Of course, it would have another university's logo and that would be weird.

     

    I swim because I'm too damned sexy for a sport that requires real clothing.

    Yes! haha. I've got extras. I just like my squirt top one. I like my water :)

    I just wish if they were doing practical jokes it was actually more amusing. There was one guy who hid everyone's mouses in a locked drawer and there was a scavenger hunt to find the key which ended up being burried in an old journal. At least he was creative!

  • I like the idea of just pulling more and more out of your bag, drawers, etc. It shows you want them to stop but also that you have a sense of humor. But wait until they're all there until you pull the first out.
