Spilling drinks on stuff.

[default]

Don't you hate it when that happens?

I woke up today, poured a tall glass of Tampico Fruit Punch, and proceeded to set it on my swank "S.S. Noordam I" (Holland-American ship) dutch tile coaster, only for it to fall all over my swank Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard, chair and floor.

I was so pissed at the fact Tampico turns into one of the stickiest substances when dried that I just turned warm water on the keyboard (I got a few spare keyboards) and surprisingly it cleaned it up.

Still, my seat got pretty soaked so I'm now sitting on a towel and can still feel the juice. Ah well, I guess this just pushes up taking this chair apart to fix it and re-upholstering it as the left arm has detatched from the screws.

Anyone else have any stories?

RIP Nintendo Entertain System, circa 1989. We hardly knew ye.

Thankfully, we were able to get another one.

I always had a good laugh when I was working as a bouncer when some drunken patron would spill their drink.

"Sorry, sir, you're too drunk to be in here. We'll see you next time."

Sometimes they took it well, sometimes they didn't.

It's not like I was making it personal, that was usually a good sign that I'd had enough too if I did it.

The best was a glass of something red all over my ex's shirt. Her birthday, everyone and their dog had bought her a drink by this point, and she was quite soused in a white t-shirt. Dropped the pint glass and all over her went the drink. "Okay, sweets, I think it's probably time to go home now."

I am a very clumsy man, myself. Luckily, I usually spill dry food, but I have spilled a lot of milk in the past. My clumsyness usually causes me to take extra precautions, and my major foible seems to be cutting my feet on sharp things, like floor vent covers.

Yeah, I agree with bars. In everyone I've been in, the glasses have great weight to them. Plus, I'm always extra careful with my drink because I'm not about to spill precious alcohol.
