When you're in group and someone drops one of those large metal water bottles on the floor, do you jump; startled?


I find the noise very irritating and annoying. And people around me seem to drop them a lot. Or accidentally knock them over with their feet when we're all sitting in a music rehearsal/whatever and they have their bottles on the floor. Just knocking the bottles over when the bottles are already on the floor makes a HUGE noise.
Maybe they're wanting to see my reaction. Grrrr.

    I don't sit in groups very often and don't remember ever having a start by a water bottle drop.  I always have water with me but not in stainless steel.  I have had stainless coffee travel mugs but never dropped one.  I'm sure an empty one dropped on a hard floor would be loud.
