I'd guess the example of the glass of water was made as an afterthought, or as a vivid example of the potential complexity of the theorem. As your example shows, it simply cannot be true. If you think of a vase with marbles, it is also clear. Or if you think of an (ideal) gas in a closed system: would there be at least one particle that always(!) stays in the same place?
