is it weird to want to keep a bottle that u literally bought a replacement for bc the lid is somewhat broken, but like, i don't actually want to get rid of it bc its still Useable it still Works, it just, hits me in the face if im not careful.

#toy txt post #see i bought a replacement already and im glad and excited #but also i dont want to like. throw this one away or recycle it or whatever? it still Functions #but if i dont keeo Actively Using It i Know my parents are gonna want to throw it away or smth #bc itll be taking up cabinet space. which. i am already in trouble for having too many mugs #explanation of how its broken ig: so its a Perfect water bottle with a lid that opens when u press a button to release it. and this was #controlled by some kind of elastic band that pulled at it to open if it was not latched. and held it open if it was open #so that when i take a drink it doesnt smack me in the face with the lid. but recently the little band broke #now the lid still functions as a lid and it still latches and it still opens #it just doesnt spring open on its own anymore and it doesnt Stay open in positions where gravity pulls it towards my face #so it has repeatedly bonked me Right in the glasses which is stressful cos i dont want to break my glasses like that's Worse #but i have still been using it while waiting to replace it so i have gotten somewhat used to just holding the lid open w a finger #and i do have another bottle i could be using BUT that one makes the water taste weird after like. A Day #so now i have a replacement (literally the exact same bottle bc i Like This Bottle A Lot) but i dont actually want to Replace it ?#idk. maybe i can retire it to water plants or smth and just keep it in my room and then itll stay out of the cabinet space #the first time i had to replace this bottle. it was Literally Broken the lid was Broken and Unusable #thus is such a weird dilemma i just hate to throw it away or smth so i dont want to but it also feels weird to try to donate it to the #thrift store or whatever like? yea heres my shitty halfbroken hand me down like what? honestly i think id rather buy a brand new one #for someone who Needs a bottle and give them that like its not that expensive its not like a fucking yeti.#but also apparently its a decent enough bottle that every single free bottle ive gotten from somewhere is nothing but disappointment #bc theyre never dishwasher safe and they all Feel Wrong and uncomfy. my old job Kept Giving Us Water Bottles i was like please #i Have A Water Bottle Already and im Very Happy With It this is a Waste Of Plastic just give me the money you used to buy or make this #im getting off topic but basically i have a semi broken but still Useable bottle that i have A Replacement for #but feel weird retiring it #cos like. its still Functional #idk maybe when i get a new job ill need water constantly again and ill have to use 4 different bottles lmao
