Spare mineral water

What verb should I use in the following situation:

There's bottled mineral water in the kitchen of the office where I work. I've already taken a few bottles during the day. One of my colleagues is now saying that I should stop taking the bottles and take the water from a water dispenser which has just boiled water. I, in return, am showing my resentment, want to reply with a question: do you spare water from me? Or What verb should I use? Thanks in advance.
