Went to the co-op and accidentally knocked a huge bottle of olive oil off the shelf!
The bottle shattered and oil and glass everywhere.
I was so embarrassed, covered in glass and oil as was most of the Isle. They had to shut part of the shop. Never been so embarrassed in all my life. 
Can you top that? |

I knocked a family size jar of beetroot off the shelf in the Asda! It splattered two customers and went everywhere. The whole aisle was cordoned off.....
Where is my prize? |

"What did Popeye say ?"
They couldn't have been nicer. My boots were ruined and shop manager helped me clean them. In my defence it actually wasn't my fault as I trying to move out of the way of someone and my coat brushed against it on the shelf.

"Omg. Are you OK?
Probably I can.
Yes I'm fine, I was in shock and did the only thing I could... I cried.
Nothing more you could do really. It's all in a days work for them though "
Yes but then the manager insisted on my giving me £10 towards new boots. I wanted the ground to open up! |

"My waters broke all over the floor in Asda  "
Oh that's messy. The staff were probably excited that you went into labour in their store and relieved they you didn't give birth there. |

Aww OP I (her) would have been embarrassed too.
I once came home from college (many years ago) and I had a nap, I woke up at nearly 8 o'clock in a panic and thought I had slept all night and would miss my lift to college. So I caught a bus and when 3/4 of the way to college I thought it was odd that there were kids playing outside rather than going to school.... I realised that it was 8pm and not 8am the next day... I got off the bus and on another to take me back home. |

I worked as a security guy inside a off licence ( Victoria wine ) one christmas. I leaned back to rest on a stack of cans but the plastic rings had been taken off the and the cans were loose. Ended up lying on the floor surrounded by about 300 cans of Castlmaine Maxx. Everyone in the shop just laughed. |

"When my Jack Russell squatted in the middle of the vets waiting room, and did a pooh that stunk the room out.
I'm sure they are used to it. "
I'm sure the shops are used to people breaking things too, it is different when it happens to you. I thought that was the point  |

I once ran out in front of the Queens car. I was late for work and ran across the road in between the outriders and the car the Queen was in. They had to do an emergency stop. I was half asleep and didn’t initially realised it was her in the car until I’d got to the other side of the road and saw her look a bit shocked |

I once walked out of b&q and dropped a pot of paint which not only covered me and the path in a nice glossy white but the pot bounced up and dented the car parked next to the door  |

Devastating, Lorna. Oil is so hard to clean up x
I did a neighbourly thing and offered to take their dog out for a walk when they were ill. I stopped to talk to an old lady in the street and mid-sentence, she stopped and looked down. My eyes followed hers to see the dog using her as a lamppost |

I tripped over at an interview and actually landed on the interviewers knee. She asked me had I eaten breakfast that morning (obviously mistook my innate clumsiness for something else) didn't even get the job either! |

"Omg when i was married we took my stepdad + mum for dinner...the restaurant was on two levels, with the entrance + till on the top floor ...a lot of drink was consumed
When we went to pay, my stepdad reached through various bodies at the till to get an aniseed ball /mint from what i can only describe as a giant brandy glass. He was looking at me and giggling, being naughty, stealing a sweet.
In slow motion i watched as the jar tipped over... spilling what seemed like 99million anniseed + mint balls... And they ping ponged across the floor until they found the open staircase and started to 'rain' down it, bouncing into dinners, diners, drinks, waiters.. A couple of people did comedy cartoon motions... And a hush fell over the packed restaurant as everyone turned to stare "

I laughed typing it 
I recall being stunned and speechless at the time. Half of me, mortified, wanting the ground to swallow me up, and the other half to die laughing out of sheer awkwardness. I can still picture the look on her face! |

Lucky...A friend was an outrider, do you know why they only have low screens on their bikes? Because under their coats they carry short stock HK machine guns (from memory).. he’s retired now though so model of weapon carried may have changed.
So when you see a short screen police bike with Queeny or the PM you now know why..

Erm.
For a while when I was with an ex he moved back in with his parents and his son. One night he got this lightweight very d*unk on South African brandy. So we go to bed, just getting down to it, and I threw up in my mouth, pushed him off, ran down the nice plush cream carpeted hallway dribbling black vomit on said carpet all the way. My then boyf helped me shower and comb my hair and popped me into one of his t shirts and we got settled down again.
Thankfully his mum completely blamed him for getting me so d*unk and had him help her clean up the next morning. |

I also worked in a home bargains as a teenager and we had loads of things knocked off shelves. Wine bottles usually though we also had jars of cooking sauce, a bottle of vinegar, etc. The only one that really annoyed everyone was a jar of garlic and chilli purree because the shop stunk of garlic for days . |
