Eh, deep down she will always know she’s drinking out of someone else’s cup. Gross.

I wouldn’t be okay with it. Integrity matters.

DC left a fav water bottle on a bus. I’m not even sure what the brand was or if it were popular. It was given to her a few years ago. She had decorated it with stickers, etc. Left it on the bus. We called lost and found that day but it was never turned in.
DS left some thing far more valuable in the classroom. It was a Friday and he was convinced that no one at the school would take the item. Unfortunately, it was never turned in.

You know like we do at restaurants literally all the time?

Really? What else do older teens use then? I think older teens do use hydroflasks too? Even many adults?

Yes, they do. Weird post by PP designed to take a dig at the daughter.

Why should we spare the feelings of a thief? Most kids would have left it there in case someone went back to find it. Or turned it into a lost and found. We have lost several water bottles and recovered some from lost and founds that were ours (stickers ir our name on it so we know it’s ours). Never would we just take one that wasn’t ours to stick it to the greedy rich.

Meh, you insulted a kid saying she's too old for a hydroflask (i.e., she's "not cool"). And you're wrong about that anyway. I think some stores are open today if you want to go out to insult more kids.

So you think OP's kid should have picked up the bottle and went inside to find Lost & Found? Do you live in the real world? The kid's right. The cleaning service would have thrown it away that evening.

Clearly divided issue even among parents here! Since it was end of the day. I doubt anyone is really coming back for a water bottle even though it’s expensive. I have seen my school administrator toss out a hydroflask in nice yellow that I personally would have wanted too! But it was embarrassing to ask and why? Because it wasn’t right! But OPs daughter is right. They will toss it. If it contains water it is gone in the trash because no one wants the liability.

I also wouldn’t mind after a good wash. Exactly true that plastic cups and utensils are also reused in restaurants all the time! I might change the straw though if it had bite marks.

Why do people chew on their water bottle straws is beyond me though. Especially if it’s an expensive hydroflask and clearly not used by a toddler. Seems like they don’t care for their things! My coworker does it too. Puzzles me!!

+1 It would have been tossed.

Chewing helps relieve stress.

The lost and found... on the street? I don't know where you live, PP, but there aren't lost and found boxes on the corner in my neighborhood. If it had been lost at school, sure. But an unlabeled water bottle in the street is the quintessential "finders keepers, losers weepers" dynamic. There's nowhere to return it to!

If you can't afford to lose it, take better care of it. Label it with your phone number if you expect to leave it behind and get it back.

Good on the kid for washing and using what someone left behind instead of calling it trash.

Yep, the bottle is going to be used now instead of ending up in landfill.

Maybe you suck on used bitten straws but I don't.

Oh sure. On the street. I mean if you believe that story in the first place.

I don't think highly of kids who would take something not theirs.

But you put your lips on a glass? And you put forks and spoons in your mouth. At least you draw the line at a straw. Very sound logic. You're win an argument in your own head I'm sure...
