Just because someone has money to spare tenfold doesn't mean they are these generous "live and let live" type of people. And just because the owner would have the money to cover it, doesn't mean the OP does.
Any insistence the owner would have that the OP should pay him back ..would be ridiculous concerning the circumstances..and would never fly in court.
The owner wouldn't be very smart expecting an employee to pay for the costs of something that was due to outside influences such as this.
If the owner would be that much of a loser.... I think it would not end up being in his best interest to do so.

Wow..all over a little water..and two people..not the whole movement..
Guess you showed us what you are all about..
Casting judgement on a whole movement because of the actions of two of them is rather immature..and griping about a few bottles of water.. seems to be petty in my opinion.edit on 28-10-2011 by gabby2011 because: (no reason given)

I don't know what's more sad to me:
The initial reaction of someone to two people in need filling up water being "That's rude, what a couple of dirty hippies, I'm calling the cops!"

I have a ring number...all they had to do was ask.
I am not about to turn down a thirsty person.
I will however turn down someone taking without asking.
And yes....I am accountable and might have to hear about this.

Who is the one paying for the water? Are we to assume that it is you? Would be nice of you to clarify.
I am walking up the street and see 2 dirtyish looking guys filling 4 giant water bottles
This costs money and they aren't the ones paying for it.
BTW, water isn't that expensive but getting permission is the polite thing to do.

Isn't the whole OWS all about peole being allowed to take what they need from whoever has it in abundance??

I'm going on exactly what was typed. This looks like an artful troll, and nothing more. He very specifically has avoided saying that it was his property or water at all. Not so obvious a troll, but still a troll imo.

I am NOT part of the 1%...I am just a working class guy like most.
This is what went down.
I am walking up the street and see 2 dirtyish looking guys filling 4 giant water bottles (about 3 quarters the size of a water cooler bottle)
I said "hey guys you can't be doing that...you are trespassing"
He tells me to ef off and was extremely arrogant.
I say "there is alot of support for this movement...if you just would have asked it would have been fine"
The fact they might have been doing this under my nose for the last 2 weeks really pisses me off.
He tells me to "ef off" and tells me to "call the police"
So I did.
The cops showed up and knew who they were right away.
They told me these guys have a sense of self-entitlement and are arrogant.
They were also really nice (this is for all you cop bashers out there)
They called me back and told me it was dealt with and they will not be returning.
I thanked them and told them to have a good day and that I appreciated it.
This costs money and they aren't the ones paying for it.
I support the homeless (I give them money when I can) and up until this point i supported the occupy movement (in a small way)
Now...I just see these people as self-entitled,arrogant little douchebags.
