chick wiggle Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 About 10ft! grrrrrr I have a day off work and thought right, I'll muck out the fridge, of course, i picked up a large, not even half eaten pot of yoghurt and instantly dropped it! It went EVERYWHERE. All down the fridge, all over me, a pile of washing on the floor (which luckily was waiting to go in the wash) , the walls, my hair, in a pair of my sons shoes, which hopefully might teach him not to leave them there (only good thing ) So, instead of a 10/20 min job, an hour later and here I am having a rant. Ok, feel a bit better now Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Sorry, this made me chuckle. So yoghurt travels almost as far as Persil washing liquid which dripped, unnoticed from the box on the top of the fridge for a day. There was a lake under the fridge and it also went under all the cupboards on that side of the kitchen. I think your only consolation is that the clothes were not washed - I sprayed a pile of white laundry, waiting to be ironed, with ketchup the other day. I cried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goosey Lucy Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 You're welcome. You've also reminded me about the time my OH (who knew best about these things as he's a man and an engineer to boot) decided to give our cat a worming tablet. I was finding flecks of blood-stained, yellow cat saliva in and around the kitchen, from floor to ceiling, for at least a week afterwards. I always smuggled the tablet into a tiny piece of cheese. No fuss, no mess, job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Men! they always know best dont they You,ve cheered me up no end, even though I have had to pull out a huge fridge freezer on my own to get underneath it why cant they put proper wheels on these things instead of those stupid supposedly 'wheels' that never work!

Lesley Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 It was when I dropped a carton of cream on the floor that I realised that I actually quite liked having a dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy chickens! Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 ..... Not as far as porridge in my experience!! I can assure you that if you accidentally put your hand down on your stirring spoon instead of the pan handle and flip the spoon covered in oats it can cover a wide arc, including the ceiling and an impressive number of cupboard doors as well as the floor! (And it really sticks too if you miss a bit. ) Was the yoghurt was really good for your skin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 My mum once shook a glass bottle of Heinz hetchup and it exploded. I think we cleaned the final bit up about eight congealed years later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleTree Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 My dad once shook a bottle of ketchup. not realising the top wasn't quite on properly. He splattered himself, the dining room wall, all over the place. It was probably about 20 years ago, but I'm still chuckling to myself now just thinking about it.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 When I was about 5 or 6, my parents decided to have kippers for breakfast. In them days (or perhaps because it was in Japan ) the kippers were in a tin which you boiled in a pan of water. You've guessed it, the pan boiled dry and the tin exploded . The dog did a great job of cleaning it up. But only about 2 feet up the walls . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I once shook a carton of tomato juice, not knowing it was open, and managed to splatter rows of passengers and 7 overhead lockers. Everyone from row 11-21 in the D and E seats had red across their faces. Oh, how they laughed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I opened a brand new bottle of pop in a tube carriage to quench a cough once. Half of it sprayed over the carriage. It was full. I got about 20 people, apologised profusely and offered dry cleaning which "Ooops, word censored!"ody took me up on but softened some of the dagger looks. Not quite as bad as Christian's though. That's the naughtiest spillage. Poor Christian. Did you have to hand-mop them all up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Sorry, just have a picture in my head now of a plane full of tomato covered people, and a tube full of wet people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenNutter Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Tomatoes and ketchup appear to be a popular missile. I was once explaining and demonstrating the principles of centrifugal force to my kids and their friends who came over for tea, with a glass bottle of heinz tomato ketchup. Sadly my hands were wet and I managed to hurl the whole thing at the kitchen wall, covering half the kitchen in the process, to at first, shocked silence, and then rapturous applause. The neighbour's kids ask me for an encore virtually every time they come for tea. It is their favourite "Do you remember when...." story.

Charlottechicken Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 If you pour spices into a bottle of sparkling red wine in an attempt to speed up the Gluhwein process (rather than put it all in a pan and stir) it will erupt like Vesuvius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reikiranf Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Putting some gummy bear sweets into a bottle of pepsi on a plane caused a fantastic fountain which covered the people in front of and to the side of my little angel, thankfully everyone was very understanding assuming that the bottle must have been accidentally shaken or it was due to pressure, it was only a few days into the holiday that DS and my nephew owned up to what they'd done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 They did that with coke and peppermints on Mythbusters - the fountain was huge! At my nans I took out a tin of prunes and as soon as the tin opener pierced the lid - it shot everywhere and all over the ceiling and my face. My dad called me Pruneface for years after that. Another one was MIL (which is unusual for her to have a sense of humour). She undid a can of tomatoes - it had gone off and so spurted out all over the kitchen. She then lay down on the floor calling her daughter's name feebly along with "help" and "ambulance". SIL ran in and screamed and panicked. Then realised when her mum started to laugh. Ho hum.
