A couple times come to mind, once I was taking a very large very hot pizza out of the oven and it got away from me pretty quickly, it ended up upside down, yes toppings and cheese side down all over the floor. What a mess!

Another time my husband was opening a can of beer, it spurted and foamed and spilled all onto the carpet, what another mess!! He insists he didn't shake it, but he also tends to swing his arms when he walks, so I think it got shook just enough on the way from the fridge to the couch.

Also one time I had made for dinner pork chops and mashed potatoes and vegetables and I had a plate all fixed for when my son got home and I had it on the kitchen table to cool a bit before I covered it. Well a bat had gotten in and was flying around and by the time it was caught, I didn't want to take any chances that it may have droppings, so I threw the entire dinner in the trash.

The bat had gotten into the basement and then flew up into the kitchen.

It was very frightening! That's another story all in it's own.

@PepperMintTea @A bat got into my parents house once. My sister, mom and I were screaming. The dogs were losing their minds. My poor father, who got a neighbor and between the two of them got it out.

I have! I also have a lot of cats and lots of fur. I did think about it for a second until I pulled the porkchop out of the trash can.

Reminds me of something we still tease my son about 25 years later... he was carrying a whole platter of chicken in from the grill and dropped the whole thing in the driveway. I don't know what we ended up eating that night lol

I just remembered an occasion when my youngest granddaughter was visiting. She was around 3 years old.

I fried a large platter of chicken and was carrying it to the table. My GD was laying on the kitchen floor wrapped up in a blanket and I didn't see her.

My foot hit her and I felt myself falling. I didn't want to fall on her or dump hot chicken on her either. Somehow, I threw the platter away from me and tried to catch my fall. I did fall, but thankfully not on her.

I broke the platter and ended up throwing all that chicken out.

This same kid has done some pretty dumb things over the years...it's a wonder she is still alive. But she is on the Dean's list in college, so she book smart.

I have a walker with a tray..the only use it gets is transfering dishes of food from the kitchen to the living room..Oh I do use it also when I have a 12 qt. pot of boiling pasta water.

I did have an oven mess and ruined dinner when my temptaions"lasagna" pan cracked in the oven.

Sent DH out for pizzas for my company.

There is NO WAY on this good earth that I'm going to toss a whole turkey just because it hit the floor! We don't have inside pets and my kitchen floor is steam cleaned, so my family of 4 would've eaten the turkey!
