What was your worst experience with when you accidentally dropped something?

I was new at waitering in a pub when I dropped a tray of beer glasses. Full ones 'course.

    The first incident to come to my mind was when I, while standing, accidentally dropped my parents' miniature dachshund.

    She did have have to get checked; minor injury. That dog still loved the heck out of me, even after I dropped her. She always got excited when I showed up. :)

      As a teenager working part-time in a restaurant busing tables, I dropped a large and heavy tray full of dishes, drinking glasses, and coffee mugs. The earth-shattering sound of them crashing to the floor and exploding into a million pieces caught every patron’s attention, whereupon they all applauded me, laughed their heads off, hooped and hollered, etc.  One of them shouted from the back of the room, “So where will you be working tomorrow?”

      I’ve dropped a cell phone into a sink or other vessel full of water twice with two separate cell phones in separate incidences over the years. The bowl of rice worked on one but not on the other.

      When digital cameras were the rage, I was on vacation and while changing from one SIM card to another, I dropped the full one with months worth of pre-vacation pictures on it out the window of the tour bus on a twisting mountain trail.


    [Oh, and by the way, I was able to uncover photographic evidence of your beer mug episode. I think that any jury in the land would vote for your acquittal based on the obvious distractions. Cough, cough. ]

  • I made spaghetti for supper with my mother.  She told me to put it on the table, but the pot of spaghetti never arrived at the table.  Instead, I dropped it.

    Has to be dropping a new, very sharp knife on myself.

    You have voodoo dolls for women you've never encountered, even online? This was before I started mugging!

    You're a real sicko, Randino.

      Sicko, schmicko.  You should have thought about these things before you spurned my amorous advances.  By the way, don't mind me if you find your hairbrush has been disturbed; I'll need a few more strands of your hair for a future er, um, "project".

    Voodoo dolls really could explain a few things. 

    Do you happen to make them to order for a fee?

      For you, I am certainly willing to discuss it.  Come on by; we'll make a night of it . . .

    Changing a floodlight, balanced on a ladder - and fell off. Cracked a couple of ribs and shattered the lamp.
