    When I just graduated out of high school the guy I had been crushing on for a year or so (S) finally took notice of me and took me on a double date with him and his best friend (G), and his best friend's girlfriend. Afterward's we went to his G's house and the boys were in a band together so they played some music for us.

    Me and S started talking about marching band and the crazy dances our director would make us do in the show and I demonstrated one and knocked over a vase sitting on a nearby table causing it to shatter instantly. Turns out that vase was handmade by G's uncle who had died of AIDS recently....

    Needless to say, the date was kinda ruined and G was not happy.

    I went out for groceries, and came back to find a nice hole in the wall during a football game. My brilliant husband threw a book at the wall. Except it was one of those MASSIVE, WOODEN toddler books, where it bounced off the couch and gouged a lovely 4x4 inch hole in the wall. That was over a year ago. Don't worry he hasn't fixed it yet but he DID manage to move the TV so it's a little hidden.

    Then he was playing XBox with my son (volleyball) and he hit the ceiling fan, shattering 2 of the 3 shades on it and raining glass all over the TV, table, chairs, carpet and said Toddler. :grumble: :laugh:

    I sent a remote through my dad's tv once. Before that, someone else through one through it. when the wii says to put the remote's strap on, they mean it!

    Electronics are waaay too expensive to be bustin up. Though one night I kicked in my bedroom door when I was drunk. The handles on all the doors in the house were cheap and always fell off and my land lord was too cheap to fix them. I spent the rest of the next day fixing it myself.

    My wife has broken a few of my things, and my son has broken a couple things, but nobody in the house can compete with my dog. He's 113 lbs and his name is Scooby, but I should have named him Destructor.

    Awww...bless him. :smile: He doesn't mean it.

    My son probably owes me the entire contents of his trust fund for the amount of stuff he has smashed since he was crawling.

    In our first apartment, my husband made the smart decision to leave his laptop on the floor, under some papers! So I accidentally stepped on it and broke the screen. I blamed it on the cat.

    And another time, he left his cell phone in his pocket and I did laundry. Amazingly though, it went through the washer and dryer and still worked!

    The hubs has a lot of hobbies one of which is the yo yo. He seriously has a $150 yo yo. One Sunday I was up in the bedroom trying to escape from the lot of them and I hear glass break. Then The Boy yells up the stairs, "Nothing, Mom!". He was covering for his dad. I guess he thought I wouldn't notice that we no longer had a covering over the bare light bulb in the ceiling fan.

    Once smashed a lamp my mom made in a ceramics class... hanging out in the living room 'boxing' with a friend of mine... he pulled up a couch pillow to block my punch and i knocked the pillow into the lamp. Amazingly, when my mom went to work, she didn't see that 40% of the lamp was no longer...

    Spent the entire day trying to piece this damn thing together... with crazy glue and saran wrap (as a splint, of sorts). It being ceramic, some of the pieces turned to dust, so there were holes all over the place. She came home that evening and still didn't notice.... but my guilt (and more so, knowledge that when she inevitably found out, it would just be worse) propelled me to pulling her aside to tell her that I... uh... was reaching for the cat and knocked it over (I'm gonna tell her that we thought we were mike tyson and I punched a pillow into her favorite lamp? Nah). I get her to sit down next to the lamp.... and I stumble through my prepared speech... and when I say, "Uh... ma... something happened" She says "what?" reaches for a book she had thrown on the table. Somehow, that slight movement shifts the lamp just enough the make it crumble... there's a pause... and I say, "that."

    I think I'm still technically on punishment for that one...

    Everything gets broken or ruined.

    I buy a new pair of jeans, and rip them first day.

    I buy a new pair of sun glasses, drop them on the pavement and scratch the lenses on that day.

    I buy a new car, and park to close to a high curb, you know those really high ones that are above your door, then not realize it and slam my door into it opening it.

    I buy a new couch and the kids spill a giant mug of hot chocolate on it. The couch was white.

    Everything I own gets ruined. I am convinced that I am simply not allowed to have nice things.

    I'm not a homewrecker, the universe is a home wrecker.

    I have a ceremic Strawberry Shortcake Christmas tree ornament that I've hung on the tree every year since my 10th Birthday. A few years ago, there was some "light sabering" going on that took her out while I wasn't home. I love the fact that my husband carefully glued her back together. She sits on my dresser now.

    I thought I would be more upset, but that would be hypocritcal of me since I break crap all the time....I'm on my billionth set of wine glasses. I know you're probably thinking "this one just sauces it up and drops them or what have you," nope, I just talk with my hands and usually knock 'em right off the table!!!

    2 kindles and a laptop in the past year. My phone went down the loo. So many glasses I actually need to buy more. Pretty often end up with train tickets in my pockets going round the washing machine - luckily they hold together so I don't spend the next 3 hours plucking paper fluff off everything!

    I tend to take things apart more than accidentally break them though. Started that very young - sat on the pavement with a hammer attempted to get inside a Matchbox car - why my mother let me have the hammer, I shall never know. Glad she did though - I now know they're terribly disappointing inside!

    When my husband and I first got married, I didn't realize his favorite sweater was wool... I'm a hot water user, I wash all my clothes in hot water...

    Well, our 3 1/2 month old son would be lucky to wear that sweater now, and half of my husband's clothes now show his midriff....

    I fail as a wife.

    Needless to say, everything is cold now.
    lol....i wash everything in cold now too

    For a second I thought, wow, is that off-topic or what? I've punched a hole through someone's carpet standing on it in high heels. I've broken an antique rocker by sitting in it. I learned to be very careful what I did, how I walked, and how I sat down and what I sat on. Now that I'm within 55 lbs of my goal weight, that is one more non-problem now. Thanks for making me think of it!

    Um... my hubby calls me Breakers McGee for a reason. If it's in my hands, I manage to break it. He said there should be special titanium/rubber/military grade products made just for me. I can't help being Incredible Hulk strong!

    I'm glad I cook so well, or I'd be a wife fail too....

    I dyed half my husband's laundry a delicious pink colour.

    I dyed half my daughter's summer clothes a mottled blue.

    I dropped a $300 vase.

    All of our coffee cups have been replaced. Twice.

    Our 12 place setting dishes? Down to 6.

    Also : four cell phones, two laptops, three lamps, the globe / lightbulb / fixture outside in 3 consecutive moves, the upstairs chandelier is tilting, I snagged a hole in our bamboo sheets, I had a nosebleed on my new $80 pillow ON THE FIRST NIGHT, and there is a dent in the wall I cannot explain.

    #fail

    Miss Understood,
    You shouldn't be making jokes about homewreckers because my family leaves things around the house and I have stepped on them, stubbed my toes and I still feel the pain :smile:
