The pantry is the modern day well

Back to ingenious ideas I come up with...

Not sure how original am I with this one...but has it ever occured to you that the pantry (or wherever your water dispenser is located) is the modern day well. Well, as in, the place where people dig deep down to get water from below the ground, aka, water point.

Haven't you noticed that we tend to meet more or less the same people at the "well". These are the paper who come to take water at around the same time/ schedule you do.

We greet each other, maybe catch up or make small talk, like how I would imagine the people of the past would do when they gather around the well, waiting for their turn to fetch water.

Nowadays, it's pretty much the same. We go to our pantry or water dispenser, and fetch water, and maybe do some simple washing up/ eating/ resting/ gossiping/ exchange ideas and information. Same.

Guess I tend to imagine and teleport myself. I am also the same person, who used to sit at my old place's stone marble table and chair in the balcony - supposedly studying, but imagining that I was at an alfresco cafe by the meditarranean sea. Though I've abosutely no idea what the meditarranean sea looks like. And it was mostly scorching hot at the balcony in the day.

Coo coo...Coo coo...
