Another weird poll (spill)

ejc423 · Coach

Dirty cat litter hmm

Starstuff · Kenneth Cole

The very last of the breakfast cereal all over the kitchen floor. I didn't have any cash to buy breakfast from a roach coach, so i had to scoop up all the spilled cereal and pray it wasn't too dusty for me to eat for breakfast. So, I guess it wasn't the worst thing being spilled, it was just so inconvenient and unfortunate to happen.

Strawberry margarita on a beige carpet. What a waste of booze.

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

What a weird Q! Probably picking up dog pee or cleaning up after a baby...

Grape juice. A full pitcher. All over the kitchen floor. And walls. And cabinets. In the wee hours of the morning. When I came home drunk and was trying not to wake my parents!*

*That plan failed miserably.

A wok-full of scallops in cream sauce down the front of my stove. For days I was picking little chive bits out of the knobs and crevices.

Ewww... great replies so far!

While running terribly late for work, I knocked over a tub of DampRid Crystals that was filled with the condensed moisture from a closet. It spilled all over the coats and scarves in the closet, all over the floor, and into our new canister vacuum cleaner. That liquid feels extremely greasy, and you cannot wipe it up. It's like trying to soak up mercury with a paper towel.

When I was in college and working as a server- a bottle of expensive red wine all over a female customer's dry clean-only white silk blouse (which turned out to be see-through when wet). She was so unbelievably nice about it and I still got a great tip from the table. I do not miss those days.

Ok this is gross. I had to get a urine sample from Cheese once (which entailed holding tupperwear under him while he peed) fun! so that worked out fine, until I get to the vets office and dropped it.

I think this was around High School, I dropped a bottle of metallic turquoise nail polish in my parents bathroom and it shattered and splattered everywhere. Luckilly they have a sponge painting design in there so on the places it didn't come off the walls it's not too terrible. You can still see some of it on the walls and floor in some places.

I waited tables while I was in college. I was working the Sunday lunch shift, and I was soooo hungover, probably still a little drunk. Of course my first table was a large party (8 top). I got their drinks and put them on a tray. I made it about five steps and then dropped the entire tray on the floor, spilling all of the drinks and breaking at least half of the glasses. The whole day was horrible!

I did this, too! I'd forgotten about it until now. It was my mom's favorite red polish, which had been discontinued. She was so mad! They've since redone the floors, but there was a big pink spot on the floor for years.

Poop. Granted, it was kid poop - but still. Actually it was like a poop ball. It "fell" out of the diaper I was carrying and rolled across the floor.

I came across this picture on failblog and it reminded me of this thread.
It also reminded me of the time I spilled a gallon of blue cheese dressing.
I'm a walking disaster.

Well, a week or two ago I dropped a carton of milk. I had bought milk at Whole Foods that day totally not thinking about or realizing that there wasn't a lid or a spout that had a sealable top. It was just like a milk carton you get in grade school, where you fold it open and then there's just this open spout. Like this:

Totally stupid design for a whole half gallon, which I will obviously be using again and again. Anyway, BF had opened it and used some for his cereal. So there was only a little bit gone. Then I woke up and went to get it to make my own cereal. And it slipped out of my hands and spilled all over my carpeted kitchen. And got up under the carpet under the stove. I tried to clean it up best I could, and Febreezed it, and left the kitchen window open all day while I was at work. But the kitchen still smelled like sour milk when I got home.

When working on a class project in 5th or 6th grade, my friend and I knocked over an entire new bottle of ruber cement on the carpet in my bedroom.

We got up as much as possible , but there was a patch of carpet that had little rubber cement balls on it in my room for years. I ended up covering it with a floor pillow. The carpet was fairly new when it happened.

HAHAHA! That's sitcom-worthy.

In Feb. I was in Florida visiting my BFF. I always double ziploc my personal care items. The airport must have unpacked the items and when the repacked they left my nailpolish between the first and second bag. I went to take out the second bag out of the out of the first bag and my nailpolish Opi Italian Love Affair landed and shatterd on her Ceramic Tile bathroom floor, vanity and bathroom door. It took a million years to get the pink out of the grout. I was horrified. I was lucky to get it all up and she was very cool about the whole thing.

Last week was Mimi's final bottle of formula (thank goodness), well, I guess I thought I had completely screwed the nipple on so when I went to shake the bottle to mix it up, the top flew off and the nasty formula got everywhere. I was truly irritated.
