I didn't break anything lately or in years (4-5 years), i think but today, it had to be the day for breaking things, along with heavy cloudy morning and now, a cloudy afternoon too.
I also can't believe how a dessert plate, small one can get broken in a million pieces. Bigger pieces okay, but those tiny, under microscope, dusty ones, i hope i removed them all from my kitchen floor and from a carpet in my hall as well.
It all happened before washing my dishes and i held several plates and this smallest one had to slide from the top.
Not happy at all but it will be better, i think.
How about you?

That is a shame that a little plate broke like that on you.
It is always a concern to make sure that you vacuum up all of the pieces as they tend to scatter so far upon impact.
I haven't broken anything in a bit, but I would rather not jinx myself and say any more on that topic.

I hope you managed to get all the glass up off the floor... I hate stepping on anything sharp.
I dropped a saucer a few days ago and had to call for Pretty to come help me clean it up. Our dishes are clear and I couldn't see the slivers on our wooden floor. Pretty made me leave the kitchen while she swept and then got on the floor with damp paper towels to get all the small bits and pieces.
I hate dropping anything but when I'm not stable while walking, anything can happen.

@grenery8 You're welcome.
My vision isn't always the best and I tend to get distracted and walk into walls or furniture. I can also get dizzy and will grab at anything around me to keep from falling. Anything in my hands goes flying. Nothing is as bad as falling.

@DaddyEvil i get hit into furniture too, i'm too clumsy and not liking bruises afterwards. i agree, nothing beats actual falling.

i dropped vegetable spice a month ago. it was just before my sleep, i was really angry back then. i think i vacuumed it all but those tiny pieces tend to stuck under some devices, like fridge and similar so i'll be on my guard. thank you.
i think i will need to sweep my floor too. i'm sorry you faced similar situation. my hands are restless sometimes or i get stuck in thoughts and then get shocked so, yes, i understand you.

That sucks. Even worse it broke to many little pieces, very hard to clean up, I know! I broke a big glass plate a few years ago, I remember it well because it was a family heirloom according to my mother. It also had a delicious lemon cake on top that had to be thrown away as it fell on the floor.

o, sorry for the cake, very unfair and that it was a family heirloom. my plate was empty but yes, i hope pieces are all covered or maybe i'll sweep my floor, just in case. the only good thing is it happened during the day. when i dropped vegetable spices on the floor before my sleep a month ago, i was furious
