My rose water accident doesn't sound so bad compared to some of your stories!!

I left 100 quid hanging out of a cash point recently. I never usually get that much out.

Oil of one sort or another seems to be our nemesis Hmm

I threw Parmesan all over myself yesterday as I pulled the bag out of the fridge too quickly and it wasn't sealed.

DP managed to drop full 4 pint carton of milk and as it was almost full the force of hitting the floor meant it split and sprayed everywhere. I'm talking on top of the kitchen units, over and under the fridge, all over him.

Was so glad I was on the way out of the house to work!!

Have had my own incidents though. Worst was either when I flooded the kitchen (doorbell went whilst I was running a sink and I then got waylaid and came back to an absolute flood... floor was a few inches deep, several drawers and cupboards completely saturated) or when I dropped a whole vat of spag bol when about 40 weeks pregnant and alone, and hungry and it went everywhere!!

Years ago had picked up hambugers & strawberry milkshakes on way home. Knocked one of the milkshakes off the kitchen worktop & it went all over the floor. Decided to carry on & eat burger whilst still hot. Went back to kitchen to clean up to discover ddog LOVED milkshake, had lapped up all of it & was desparately trying to stretch her tongue under the oven to get the last few drops! Quick mop over with flash & wiped down cupboard doors & clean up finished in less than 10 mins 😁

Op, at least it did fall onto your toe 😖. I once dropped a 2lt bottle of coke and it tumbled down the garden steps, while bringing the shopping in from the car. Put it on the worktop and went out to get the rest of the shopping. Came in to find the kitchen worktops plus all the appliances sprayed with coke, with a very stunned and soggy dh clutching a half full bottle looking like this >😳. 😂😂 That's what he gets for not helping me 😁

*didnt, obviously

I've just got into bed after putting DS to bed at 7, checked on him last thing before bed only to find he'd projectile vomited all in his cot, silently, and gone back to sleep in his own sick. I had to strip him and get him in the bath (it had set in his hair) and he hates baths at the best of times so it was a fucking nightmare. Then go back into his room to strip his bed only to find his sick had soaked through both mattress protectors into the foam mattress, impossible to scrub out and because I'd changed the beds this morning I had no bottom sheet for him. So a quick wash and tumble dry and I let him fall asleep in my bed but had to get him back in his cot (he rolls off my bed and I have hard floors) and he woke up just after he's finally, finally fallen asleep. Number one, how the fuck did he fall back asleep in his own sick, and number two, now I have amazoned a new mattress and better protectors and extra bottom sheets. He also got sick on his breathable bumper and stained it horribly! Yayyyy!!!!

GammaRays · 25/02/2020 23:45

That was meant to say he's and also I really can't afford a new sodding mattress atm but there we go! I've scrubbed and scrubbed his one but that sick smell will never come out.

Opened the fridge door and three eggs fell off the inside shelf and cracked, running down between the cupboard facade and the bottom freezer door. I had to get a bastarding screwdriver, unscrew the frigging cupboard facade, clean up the eggy mess and then screw everything back on again.

Christ that was a pain in the arse. I only wanted to get the milk out for a cup of tea.

We had an actual whole cupboard fall off the wall in our break room at work . It sounded like a bomb had gone off , and when we ran in there , it looked like it too . Glass and China in shards over every surface , and then jam , marmite , coffee , vinegar , tea bags , sugar , you name it , all over the bloody place . About 3 hours after we’d finally cleared it all up ( who knew how far a small jar of marmite could reach ?) our big boss wandered in vaguely and wondered why there was jam on the ceiling .

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 26/02/2020 01:49

Bacon and cheese pasta sauce goes amazingly far. So do the bits of jar. Also a dropped bottle of tomato ketchup makes a kitchen look remarkably like a crime scene Blush

DH once went to sleep while hardboiling some eggs. It took me ages to work out why there were popcorn-like bits of stuff all over the kitchen and a dry pan with the bottom burned out on the hob. DH was still asleep of course. We were finding egg for weeks.

My DDad tried to microwave a soft boiled egg (in shell) to warm it up once. His glasses were never the same...

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 26/02/2020 01:51

@plominoagain lmao at jam on the ceiling, my boss wouldn’t even have noticed!

EBearhug · 26/02/2020 01:57

I remember when we were making gingerbeer and had a batch bottled up in the larder. This is where we discovered PET bottles can really shred when they explode... Also, it must have been more than 2l of gingerbeer to make that much mess...

I had a bottle of Thai fish sauce break in my car - in the middle of summer - in Australia. No amount of cleaning could ever completely get rid of the pong of rotten fish from the carpet. It could be masked with air-fresheners, but on hot days, the smell or eau-de-anchovy was utterly unbearable. I waited for winter, had it detailed and sold the car.

Cinderemma · 26/02/2020 09:17

I've woken up at 6am to DS being sick all over his bed. Cleaned that up done the school run with other DC and traffic was manic and had to half park on the road/kerb to collect one of their friends as I did there was this horrible scraping noise. I've checked under the car and cannot see anything but it left a white scrape mark on the kerb!!
