Ever have one of those "drop everything" days?

My dad and I always joke about inevitable bloodshed of certain projects we worked on together ha.

If you don't draw blood or if you don't have parts left over you ain't doing it right

I have been continually dropping stuff since about 4:00 a.m. I know I should have stopped "doing" anything at all hours ago and just give up, drink some whisky and watch the boob tube but I noticed my birds flying at the suet holder and nothing was there. So, I decide to get the seed and suet out and go in the backyard to feed the little beggars and.....

.....there is actually a good reason the packers of bird seed and cat litter warn you against reusing the containers.....

This one is about 7 years old and the strap broke with 20 lbs of seed in it, about the time I got it up above the knee....

I think Imma hit that whisky a little harder than planned....

That's crazy.

You wish yer toes were as sexy as them.

I think you are "Greek Descendant"... by the toes..

"The Greek foot
Owners of this foot shape have the longer second toe that rises above all others. People with such feet are usually emotional, artistic and have a tendency to become leaders. Many athletes have Greek feet."

My phone screen is cracked, and all of my carry guns have nicks and scratches on them from being dropped.

Most of the remote controls for the TVs I've owned in my life have had the cover for the battery compartment taped over,
because the little tabs break off when you drop them on a hardwood floor.

I'm well experienced at dropping stuff. That's why when I was a 12 year old kid and I asked Dad for a chemistry set for Christmas, Dad asked me what I wanted to make. When I said "nitroglycerin" he replied
"well, only if you put your nitro in plastic bottles, not glass."

I said, "why dad?"

He said, "So when you drop a bottle, it won't break."

GA, I love that your dad was only worrying about the glass breaking. Great guy. It's like the engineer dad with a kid who wants to build a thermo nuclear device in the garage. So the dad tells him the best way to make it and doesn't give it any more thought.
I drop so many things that my husband tries to buy me milspec when available. A regular camera or phone doesn't stand a chance. Happy trails and may God bless America.

You explained the problem in the opening line of your story - you've been doing stuff since 4:00 AM. What kind of psycho does that?!

That’s kinda like seeing someone hit their thumb with a hammer, you can’t help but laugh so I did. Sorry

Don't be sorry, it is kind of funny. I know better than to keep using a bucket with a plastic strap handle for 7 years.
