My dogs sometimes knock down a charging phone. This invariably breaks the charger, and hopefully will never break the port.

I dropped a pot of boiling water on my range, and can't seem to get the right rear burner to work properly. Oh well. That piece of shit came with the house. I will be putting in a better setup, befitting a woman of my culinary gifts, when I can afford to.

I dropped the ball on a business arrangement once, and the damage was irreparable.

I dropped an aluminium plank the other week...it was like mouse trap.

I dropped it, the other end bounced up, hit the trestle, nudged it over, bricks toppled down off the scaffolding, a brick bounced of the scaffolding, hit the lower part of the trestle and through a plate glass sliding door.

I say, well it could have been worse, could have landed on someone.

I dropped a very very expensive laser measure a few months ago. I cussed so loudly that some of the men on site thought I had hurt myself. Sure enough, it wouldn't work. I tried everything. I looked at the batteries, but they were those special rechargeable type. But I swapped them out for regulars, and it still didn't work.

Finally, a subcontractor's helper Hermi asked if it was broken. I told him I thought so. He asked if it would hurt if he tried to fix it. I told him I didn't think he could hurt it further.

He basically took the thing apart, and my heart sank when I saw it. But a half-hour he gave it back working perfectly! Apparently a battery contact had been jarred loose and he soldered it back. He was my hero and he got a hug!

I was going to give him something special, but he was teased so badly by his co-workers that I figured I wouldn't make his situation worse. He's still my favorite!
