Let's do the math here: that's 168 bottles of water, plus 28 liters of distilled water, plus 28 liters of mineral water. That's 224 bottles of water, not to mention that 56 of those are liter bottles! That's an unbelievable amount… I estimate that it would take the delivery driver maybe 7 trips for the packs of small bottles (assuming they can carry 2 of the 12-packs at a time), and probably 14 trips for the 4-liter bottles. Even with that estimate, that's a whopping 21 trips up the 17 flights of stairs.
Stay with me, we're doing more math now. Let's say that each set of stairs has 13 steps: they're asking this poor dude to haul heavy water jugs up more than 4,641 stairs, or roughly 2 miles of uphill walking. Of course, that's an estimate, but that's… insane. That's just a totally insane thing to ask a delivery driver to do. You'd need a small fleet of drivers to get this done!
On a personal note, I'd just like to add here that I lived in the world's tallest dorm building for 2 years. (Yes, seriously. It has 34 floors.) I lived on the 14th floor one year, and the 18th floor another year. Sometimes we had to evacuate by staircase during fire drills, and it took about 5 minutes just to walk down all those staircases. It always left my legs feeling like jelly, and I'd get dizzy from the endless spiral of stairs.
Luckily, I never had to walk all the way back up to either the 14th or 18th floors, because it's not even legal to make your tenants walk up more than 6 flights of stairs per building! There must be an elevator for the people who live there, and I can't imagine it's legal to strand your tenants for longer than a few hours.
I feel this delivery person's pain, and I hope they got a few better orders after this dude. And that person stuck in their 17th-floor apartment with no water or elevator access should call 311 and get their water turned back on ASAP… and then invest in a Brita filter instead of 158739450142739 water bottles.
