How do you feel when somebody spills something or breaks something?

I don't usually get all bent out of shape over a spill-accidents happen. Now, when it comes to things getting broken, that's another story. I do have many figurines and things that I collect. I don't like the idea of someone coming into my home and breaking them. I won't scream at them or anything, but I really feel like doing so. I am careful around my things so I feel that visitors should use the same care.,

I grew up in an abusive household. My dad beat me at the slighest spills or breakage. I yelled at my children as well for these incidents when they were growing up. Once I sobered up a lot had changed in my feelings of how I was raised. I realized I needed to break this cycle. So now days since sobering up when I hear breaking glass or see a spill it,s just an accident and that's that. If it's intentionally done then my feelings are voiced in a sensible and quiet tone. It's so much more serene for my family, friends and all in my life since I sobered up. Thanks also. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~ HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I do know that feeling. My mom would always yell when I or someone else would spill something. She would always say I just cleaned that. Now look what you did. I wont forget these words.LOL She didnt beat us either. Just yelled alot.LOL

I only get upset when I break something or spill something myself. I feel badly for other people when they do it because I can tell they didn't mean to do it and feel bad themselves. I admit that I do get a little upset if someone breaks something that they should never have been messing with, or when they spill something in a place that they shouldn't have had it in in the first place.

I don't as a rule mind spills or broken things, unless it is an act of carelessness. The same people doing the same thing all the time will get me angry. I don't mind one time they break something, but when it is everytime they are here I have a problem with it, or if they do it because they are drunk...that really makes me mad. people just have no respect for the property of others and that really upsets me.

I usually don't get into a huff if something is spilled or broken, after all it is usually an accident..but I would get annoyed though if my now deceased mother had broken something because she usually did it on purpose during one of her temper tantrum anger fits, and she usually "accidently" would break maybe one of my favorite coffee mugs--like my special wolf design coffee mug that was irreplaceable --she had a real fierce temper Only once did one of my kitty break something..he hoped up on the top of the hutch were I have some figurines, but I didn't get mad at him...I was actually more concerned in getting all the pieces so he wouldn't walk on a sliver of glass--I guess though he learned his lesson...he's never jumped up since....and I didn't even yell at him..guess he knew he did something wrong and felt guilty--amazing no? An animal felt guilty about breaking something, but my mom didn't

I don't get too upset when someone drops or spill something. I do it myself quite often. If it was something really expensive I might feel different about it. I have always been a bit clumsy myself so I really don't have any right to get upset.

Some times I get upset because I worked so hard for the few pitiful possessions I have. some thing spilled is no big deal, I help clean it up and not a problem, but the sound of breaking things does bring out a bad side of me. When my children were small I taught them not to touch certain items and so my little odds and sods survived, and my granddaughter is very good about touching my stuff. She always asks first.

My mother was like that also. It made you feel horrible, didn't it? I am not one to get real attached to anything material anyway. When someone drops a glass or something my first concern is they don't get cut.

Before, it would make me angry when my son spills something. That time I was having a difficult time holding on to my temper. And when I do lose control, I raise my voice at him. I'm glad though that I still have the chance to undo the mistakes I did. Because he isn't that fearful of me when he spills something. Nowadays, when he does, I usually take a deep breath and talk to him in a calm voice. Telling him to be very much careful the next time. You are right that it's no big deal. It's just a small spill and a little mopping can do it. There's no need to be turning into an "incredible hulk" for something so small an issue.

I remeber when I was a child and I break something I just let it there and run.I though my parents would be angry with me.But they always come to me and tell me , it can happen to everybody.Now I am doing the same, when somebody spill or brake something, it is just not big deal.

I frickin flip out! I hate spills, messes, anything that has to be cleaned up. Just a little while ago I spilled a jar of pickles and I'm going to stew for a while. I know, I need therapy.

it depends i dont care if kids break or spill something but if im feeling down or in a bad mood and an adult does it i get irritated i wont say anything but it really annoys me! if im in a good mood it wont really bother me just a simple accident! so it just depends on how much of a grump cow i am lol :)

I like to break things, especially glass. I like the sound of breaking glass, but I take precautions against shards of glass flying into my eyes whenever I break it. I don't break things that don't belong to me, but I enjoy breaking light bulbs, pottery, crockery, those kind of stuffs. When someone else breaks something due to carelessness, I usually don't get upset, but there have been some times I did get upset if it's something valuable or sentimental that belongs to me. I take great care not to break stuffs that belong to someone else, unless they have given me permission to break it.

I don't mind when the baby spills something or knocks it from our hands while eating, but it drives me nuts when my wife puts drinks on the side-table and lies on the sofa with her feet hanging over them. Accidents are one thing, but that's just asking for it! Thankfully most of our house is wipe-clean! We have laminate floors and a leather sofa so everything just mops or wipes up. My crazy wife wanted to get a new carpet and a fabric sofa before the baby came! lol She usually gets her way, but boy an I glad I put my foot down to that one!

It really doesn't bother me. I grew up in an environment, when I was younger especially, that accidentally breaking something was kind of a big deal, and you were made to feel pretty bad about it. I'm not sure about why, but that's how it happened. So I always tried to be careful about breaking items and what not. However, breaking stuff really doesn't bother me like I guess it should. Spilling things really isn't a big deal to me. I mean, you grab a paper towel or whatever and clean it up and you're done. And besides, broken items usually can be replaced, so what is the big deal when something is accidentally broken?

I used to hate it, because it meant that there was a huge mess and that something important would have been really messed up. Of course, now that I've started keeping things cleaned up, there's less chance that a spill will ruin important papers, or that glass will get into all sorts of hard to get to spots. Now, I generally don't mind, as long as it gets cleaned up right away. And there's a difference between an accident, or my toddler doing something, and one of the teenagers being careless and doing something. I'd be more upset about them not paying attention, than about the spill or mess.

I use to get irritated all the time when my son spilled something on the carpet. Only because we are renting that is why. I try to make sure he is careful but you know kids, it happens and most of the time they are accidents. I don't let it get to me now and always ask him to tell me when he does spill something. He apologises right away and I get him to help me clean it up. I don't think our landlord is going to like her carpet at the end of our two year lease LOL we may lose some of the bond $$ because of the stains in our carpet.

My mom was super easy going and, if we spilled or whatever, she would be cool about it. My father, who was a nasty guy for a long time because he drank, really didn't make a huge deal out of it either. As a result, I don't. If you spill, you spill. Clean it up and get some more. If you break something, don't get cut. We can replace it. The only time I was upset when something was broken was when my kids were younger and they were playing with some Nerf thing. I kept saying to take it outside and they were going to end up breaking something but they didn't and one of the rockets hit a shadow box I had and broke a ceramic quail that my late mother had hand painted when we took a ceramics class together. It was very special to me because she had just passed on and I wanted to remember the times we spent together. That really hurt and was not able to be repaired but I got over it. I had to. Otherwise, general spillage or breakage is ehhh...clean it up and don't cut yourself material. That is one thing I am real easy about although I never like to hear glass breaking because I fear injury. If everyone is OK, then it's not a big deal.

My mom would yell at us for spilling something, so if anyone spills anything in my home I get mad and kind of yell, and I know I get that from my mom. I feel bad for it too, because I know it was a mistake.
