Have you ever dropped anything that broke or made a mess ?
I dropped a soda on the rug at a small store I worked at, an accident, just fell out of my hands, and tried to fix it up so the boss didn't find out. He found out anyway.
I used to break things all the time when I stocked shelves. I'm a clutz.

Obviously everyone is going to say YES to that basic question at some point in their lives.
even if we stick to someone in their 20's or older... stuff happens like that once in a while to all of us. it's pretty much inevitable. I would be more surprised if someone has never had a accident like that but I would have a hard time believing them if they claimed they never spilled something (and the like).

I dropped an entire plate of spaghetti onto carpet once. Spent a good bit of the rest of my night on my hands and knees trying to clean the carpet.

So I am waiting six feet from the customer ahead of me checking out at Aldi's this morning and hear the check out guy stifle a small swear ... a pint of blueberries had opened and they were all over the counter, the scanner, the moving belt and the floor. Came my turn after the area had been cleaned up and a replacement box was delivered, I told him about this thread and that he would be mentioned here. He Laughed ! He liked my story about the frozen peas. I think I successfully distracted him from the guy who had opened the blueberry box an not closed it properly. Everyone had masks on so smiles were verbal !

Broke a little ceramic dish belonging to my mother a few months ago.
And the lid of a Waterford Crystal (I think) decorative jar the following week. Also belonging to my mother.
Some years back, I knocked over a fancy Chinese pen-holder in my old boss' office. He noticed and asked me about it when he returned.

This happened some years ago. There was a family get together, and all the men sit around a huge communal plate, which they eat from, sitting on the floor. Anyway, they wanted more rice, so I brought in a large plate of hot rice. I was just going to give it to someone to add to the communal plate when I tripped over something and the hot rice fell all over a male relative who hadn't seen me behind him. He jumped up screaming, but thankfully most of it fell on his thobe and not on his head. This next story doesn't involve me, and it isn't for the faint of heart. It happened to my aunt. My aunt and some other women were in the kitchen. My aunt sitting on the floor while nursing her baby, with her back against the stove. Two other women were chopping up vegetables or chatting. There was a pot of boiling water on the stove. One of the womens' children ran into the kitchen, banged against the stove and knocked the boiling water over my aunt and her baby. She suffered third degree burns from her neck and all the way down her left side and back. Thankfully the baby was okay because he was suckling on her right breast and she bent over to shield him. Moral of the story: don't sit on the floor. For those that don't know what a communal plate is:

All the time.
My hands get dry, and things slip thru my fingers.
If I'm working in the warehouse at work, it tends to happen. I remember dropping a bag of coffee beans, and it split open. Luckily, it was a coffee that we use in our coffee machine in the lunchroom, so I just wrote it off. We likely would have written off a bag anyway - just happened to be sooner rather than later.
For me personally - I can't remember if I've dropped anything that was of great consequence to me, though. I mean - nothing that couldn't be replaced, anyway.

One time I dropped a digital clock on the floor. It stopped working immediately. I stick to analog clocks now.

I've dropped things or knocked thing over a lot. Lately a bottle of pills, nothing major

The village where she lived doesn't have a hospital, so they had to drive her for 3 hours to get to one.
