How many plates and glasses you break?

I've never broken any dish when I wash them. I guess it's not that I'm very careful but I guess our plates and glasses are really good in quality. There was even a time when our cat knocked out a plate and it dropped 1.5meteres down and it didn't even break! Glasses are another thing though, they're so much more easily breakable but we only break them by accident - like when somebody trips over a glass that someone else forgot to pick up after using it and left it lying on the floor or something. Thanks for the response on my discussion!

So far, i have not break any glasses at home.. But when i was working in a cafe a couple of years ago, i will always be breaking a couple of them every week.. lol =D I guess the reason should be, i'm using a dish washing machine there, and due to space constrain, most of the time, i will accidentally be hitting the plates or bowls against each other when i'm putting them in or taking them out.. haha =D ON top of that, due to the high traffic, speed is important too, and thus i will try to squeeze alot into the machine and resulting in some broken pieces as i din stack them properly.. lol =D

Why would you want to break good glasses or plates? That doesn't seem logical to me as it means that you just have to spend money to replace them. Also, that could be extremely dangerous as you could cut your wrist or something. I would suggest if you can't keep from breaking them, then you should buy plastic and paper. It will save you from possibly getting hurt seriously. I don't have this problem and hope that I never do.

Oh you must be very careful you might cut yourself the next time you break a plate or a glass. Your idea is good, using plasticware could keep you away from being cut. I could not remember when was the last time I broke a plate or a glass, I think it was long years ago.

LOL, when you wash you braek but what about me, when I drink I break. Let me think 2002: when I was sitting on staircase the glass fell and broke. Again, when I drank milk and put that beside me and suddenly the power was gone! Second one. 2003-04-05-06, I don't remember incidents. 2007, when I was cleaning(Yes cleaning) the glasses in my friends house, it got broke. I was helping my friend.

I seem to have the same problem, at least with glasses. I bought thick plates and bowls so I wouldnt do it to them as well, but about every three months I have to go out and buy new glasses because I tend to drop quite a few. One thing I have done to help avoid alot of breaking, is I bought a dish mat, its a kinda foam thing that sits in the bottom of your sink so this way it acts as a cushion when you drop things. It has saved quite a few dishes over the past couple months! if only I could get one for all my floors now ;)

well i do it rarely, actually i have maid to do that work but still most of the glass things i wash myself, coz i dont want them to lose so often as my maid does.....she also knows that i am very careful about my glasses, so if i leave them for her sometimes, she washes them first carefully and keeps them aside.

i think it is doesn`t care .If u just break a plate or glasses ,doesn`t means u are not care these ,it`s only out of my hand

Every so often I break something, too. It's just something that happens. Material gets stressed and things will break easier anyway. Even plastic breaks btw. I know, because I have managed to break quite a few items;)

I've broken a few dishes and glasses in the past. I can't remember how many but I can remember one time I broke a glass. It was an accident and I was sick at the time. I was weak and I was handed a glass full of water. It was quite heavy for me so it slipped out of my hand and fell to the floor. I was able to dodge the debris a bit and I didn't get cut.
