I just dropped a cheese cake (light hearted)

So annoyed I have to clean it and don't get to eat it.

What's the worst thing you've dropped?

A glass bottle of ribena. Sticky purple crap all over the kitchen! Fortunately, the floor was Lino rather than tiles so no stained grout.

lemontwist · 14/12/2014 22:05

Not me but DH dropped a tile making a hole in our new bath. We'd spent months doing up our bathroom, fitting it out and tiling it ourselves. Gutted doesn't come close!

Saucepan full of peas. All over the kitchen floor of a Scots Youth Hostel. Scooped them up and ran them under hot tap. It was years ago and no one who ate them died so I reckon it was OK.

A bottle of white spirit (or something similar - it was a while ago now, when I was a teen). It melted a hole in the carpet and in the black tar-like substance that the floor was made out of.

Why is there a 'lighthearted' in the title? Grin. Is there something sinister about cheesecake-dropping then?

OscarWinningActress · 14/12/2014 22:18

Sorry...I can't stop laughing about this (the 'lighthearted', not the cheesecake). WHAT the Jeff? Is this a wind-up?

NoelleHawthorne · 14/12/2014 22:19

FUCKING LIGHT HEARTED THREADS

lemontwist · 14/12/2014 22:23

Hey, as mentioned up thread I dropped two bottles of wine. There is NOTHING light hearted about that! Grin

A jar of runny honey. A mess of stickiness and glass very tricky to clean up.

CheeseBuster · 14/12/2014 22:31

Very expensive bottle of absinthe. It smashed and we managed to save 3 or 4 shots worth in the base bit as that was still whole.

Yeah, but did you punch it first?

MargotLovedTom · 14/12/2014 23:09

I'm a bit wtf at the casual way OP says she has to clean the cheesecake and not eat it. Is the OP a waitress and some unsuspecting customer is getting cheesecake which has been scraped off a floor and cleaned (?) then nonchalantly served up?

MargotLovedTom · 14/12/2014 23:11

And the worse thing I dropped was my knickers for a rubbish ONS a bottle of very expensive Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc on my friend's doorstep when I was arriving for dinner.

twoopsie · 16/12/2014 08:53

The cheese cake really splattered and fell in a gap in the kitchen. It was heartbreaking but not even I could eat that.

We've all dropped our knickers for a shit ons, I try to block those memories!!

I once dropped a bottle of Jean Paul Gaultier in the bathroom.

My father dropped an entire tin of paint on new white carpet. We laughed til we cried. Looking back I think we were a tad hysterical.

emptywinebox · 16/12/2014 10:49

Not me but someone who'd been in a pub toilet before me had dropped a bottle of poppers. Majorly headache inducing.

twoopsie · 25/12/2014 10:01

Ahh I just dropped all the preped veg on the garage floor and some have got washing powder on, that's all going to get soaked and still cooked. Was three hours of prep last night!

Eh?Xmas Confused are you pissed or just clumsy?

SwearySwearyQuiteContrary · 25/12/2014 10:08

OP, you would be a hero to my SIL and I. PILs specialise in frozen cheesecake that is 3 years past it's best before date. That's quite some feat for frozen goods. One gets chipped out of the freezer each year. If I could engineer a realistic "accident" lives and stomachs would be saved.

Knottyknitter · 25/12/2014 10:12

DB "dropped" a bottle of Ribena all over the cheese counter at a supermarket once.

He was about 2 1/2 at the time, and I think it was more thrown than dropped, but DM was mortified!

Still gets talked about despite him being over 30 now!

TiggerLillies · 25/12/2014 10:22

A pan with enough rice for 20 people soaking in water. On the plus side, child who had previously been challenging - provided me sympathy. Almost worth it.

At the Christmas dinner we had on Saturday my nephew knocked a wine glass on to his glass plate. The glass fine but plate shattered. Only the pigs in the blankets could be saved.

GazpachoSoup · 25/12/2014 12:08

Why can't you eat it?! Make like Chandler and Rachel from Friends when they dropped their cheesecake - and have a little floor picnic! Dig out the forks and dive in Grin
