Watering cans have multiple uses.
First and formost, they are just COOL. Even if you never use them for
anything but to look at, they are cool!
I would think that the FIRST use you might use yours for would be to whack
"stupid jerk" upside the head and tell her to STFU.

I use mine when I fertilize in my garden sometimes. If I don't want to water
everything or drag out my hose just to give some young thing a little sip.
You can unscrew the shower end of it and use it for your houseplants too.
They are a great place for frogs to hide, lizards too. They look very cool.
Mine is quite old, it was my mom's before she passed. It leaks and has a
dent in the spout from where a recent windstorm blew it off of the porch but
I still love it.

They are decorative and there is something that feels good about using one
now and then. Kind of like a gnarly old walking stick. You may not NEED if
but if you LIKE it, that's all that matters.

Now that I think of it, get a gnarled old walking stick, and whack "stupid
jerk" with THAT too.

OR, tell her if she doesn't lay off, you'll use her bones to fertilize your
tomato plants.
Then look her straight in the eye, and grin REAL slow and wide.

Enjoy your watering can - sic the dog on "stupid jerk",
