Funny or not? I have a water bottle that I fill up and bring to work every day. I find that there is a taste on the water at work and with the high levels of copper in the water here, I like it to be filtered by my Brita. Anyway, this particular water bottle has a little snap on the lid that sometimes opens up....I think you can see where this is going. After work I was headed to the grocery store, so I put the bottle in my backpack, careful to place it so that it wouldn't fall on its side, etc.
Being the environmentalist that I am, I put all of my groceries in my backpack and went to grab a cab home. I'm sitting in the cab, chatting with the driver when suddenly I feel like something is leaking onto my leg. Light bulb moment: the water bottle must be open! Great, water is pouring out of the bottle into my backpack, out onto me and into the cab. Luckily we were at my apartment and I paid the driver, hopped out and hoped he didn't notice anything or think that I wet myself (which technically I did).
I got into my apartment, opened up the bag and sure enough, there was the culprit - an open water bottle! Luckily my scarf soaked most of it up and then my jeans took the rest. Both are hanging up to dry right now. Just another day in Iqaluit......

HA HA HA HA HA, somehow this makes me happy inside...however I had that happen to me, with my travel mug and i put it in my bag in between classes and all my coffee spilt out into my books...let me tell you I was less than impressed and did not ahve coffee which angered me even more. Needless to say, I no longer use that travel mug anymore....but I do believe that you actually "wet" yourself cause hey you know how it is, you have all your winter gear on and you have to pee and then all of a sudden its too late. So now you've learned two things you never knew about yourself:
1) you'd be a Costco shopper (God forbid you shop at Costco where food can be purchased in bulk, and deals can be found)
2) You have a bladder problem (its ok, it happens but out of respect for your fellow Iqualuit folk, please where a diaper or something)
You really know how to mark your territory eh...that poor cab driver!!
