AIBU to still be mortified about an embarrassing moment at a friend's house?

Hi!
About a month ago I got invited to a work colleagues home with some other colleagues for some food and drinks. I was so happy to be invited as I’ve recently moved to a new area and have cliqued well with these colleagues and it’s nice to have made some new friends!
Anyway as we’re chatting, I accidentally swiped my wine glass which was next to me (I was sitting on the floor) - cue the wine glass shattering into a million pieces and wine everywhere 🙈 luckily it was white wine, at least. Some of the food had to be thrown away because of the wine and glass shards, and we all cleaned up together.
I still feel absolutely mortified! It was just a quiet gathering, and I feel like I’ve made an absolute tool of myself and like a drunk mess (I wasn’t even that drunk!)
Of course I apologised a million times and offered to replace the wine glass, and no one has treated me any differently, but it is still haunting me 😩

Is my embarrassing moment really that bad and that embarrassing? When will it stop plaguing my mind?! 😂

Why on watch were you sitting on the floor?

No wonder the glass got knocked over.

That's on your host not you unless you chose to sit on the floor.

It was an accident, these things happen.

When I first met my now DH, we were having dinner in his parents garden. I think it was the first time I had met them. It was a boiling hot day and I was in flip flops. I went upstairs to use the loo and decided my feet were a bit hot and sweaty and I was worried about them smelling .... so for some weird reason I thought it would be a good idea to fill the sink with water and wash my feet in it.

The moment I put my foot in the sink split and all the water fell into the cupboard below 😁.... I was horrified, on my hands and knees trying to mop up all this soapy water which had covered everything ... soggy loo roll etc.

This was the 80s and it was a plastic shell sink that had been previously repaired apparently. I was so embarrassed but his parents were fab about it.

I thought you were going to say something much worse. Could happen to anyone, doesn't reveal anything embarrassing about you, I get it was awful at the time but everyone else will not be dwelling on it or giving it a second thought now.
