To get a sense of the scale, I dropped the water and wine in a church. Waterfordford crystal meeting marble was not on the agenda. But me and Jesus laughed about it and we rated it a solid four.

So AHer's, what have ye dropped at inopportune moments, and more importantly what are the "sceals" behind it?

Seriously, in Q bar, dropped the hand on some horrendous young one back in the day in front of all my mates. Took some slagging about that over the years.

A few years ago I worked in a pro shop at a golf club for a summer job. Anyway I was carrying a big pile of rubbish out of the shop and there sitting on the step outside the shop was one of the girls from the bar who I had a mighty crush on. As I passed her I hit a crack in the pavement and I dropped all the rubbish right in front of her, complete mortification.
But it didn't do much harm because we ended up wearing the face off each other later in the summer:D

A tab of LSD that had two elephants doing a sixty-nine printed on it.....

No sleep for three months... although, I cannot say that I was exactly awake either.

When I was working in a hotel I tripped over a carpet carrying a drinks tray and splattered the brides dress, guinness & red wine mostly

I've a friend who worked in the same hotel and dropped greasy roast potatoes in Mary Robinson's lap, she was ok about it in fairness to her.

Dropped a gear as I felt I wasn't going fast enough down a narrow road, soon after I ended up in a ditch with a bump on my head for my stupidity.

Dropped a 7-8000yo Mesolithic axe today, it didn't fall very far and was completely fine but still not something to be careless with.
