Holidays: Today, I dropped the collection basket during Christmas Mass...

Today, I dropped the collection basket during Christmas Mass at my Catholic church. Money and checks fell all over the floor and everyone was staring at me. I was too stunned to even pick it up. There were about 1,500 people from our town there and my family won't stop bringing it up. FML

Today, I dropped my trash into what I thought was a garbage can. My co-workers stared at me like I had just pissed myself. It was a toy collection box for children in foster care. FML

Today, I was at the grocery store when I tripped and knocked over a tower of Easter chocolate. The sound was so loud that everyone in the store stopped and stared at me while I tried to rearrange the chocolate bells, bunnies, and eggs. FML

Today, while coming out of Walmart, I dropped a $50 bill. Some kid came running up after me yelling, "Hey mister, you dropped this!" as he ran past me laughing. FML

Today, I went shopping with a friend. She picked up a hundred dollars on the floor that somebody dropped. I told her, "I feel sorry for the retard who dropped the money." When I got home, I checked my purse and realized that I was missing a hundred dollars. FML

Today, I was at a Christmas party when I noticed someone had taken all of the cash I had from out of my wallet. It was a family gathering. I'm related to the culprit but have no idea who it is. FML

Today, I tripped on the way back from collecting a prize in front of 600 students and their parents. I got more applause than I did when collecting the prize. FML

Today, I was shopping when I suddenly slipped on the wet floor and my basket and my groceries were flung everywhere. Moments later, one of the cleaners walked over holding a "wet floor" sign, saw me and laughed. FML

Today, I was in a shoe store. I picked up a shoe so I could look at it, but when I put it back on the shelf, the whole shelf fell down, making all the shoes fall to the ground. The people behind the counter started clapping. FML

Stealing the scene

By Silverfeathery - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff

Today, during a moment of silence in front of the entire high school during my band concert, I managed to hit the stand with my flute, and loudly scrambled to catch it before it fell over. I've never had so many people look at me. FML

You dropped something and people stared at you. I'm legitimately impressed your family can bring something that mundane up so often. "Please hand me that thing, but don't drop it like [name] dropped that basket. Hahaha!" "Please do another favor, but avoid doing something that could in some way be connected to [name] dropping that basket. Ha. Ha. Ha." "If you were a basket, [name] would drop you. Haaaaaaaaaaa…"

Key word is "Catholic" church. I went to a Catholic church for Easter one year and it easily had 2000 people. It had 2 floors of balcony seating in addition to a huge ground floor. The place was bigger than a lot of concert venues I've been to.

That's ok, I once dropped the pan of communion wafers on Christmas mass while bringing them up to the altar

I am Catholic also and tbh I just started being an Usher at my Parish in Spartanburg SC. I feel a little scared doing it only because I am afraid I will mess up. On my first night Mass as an Usher, I almost forgot to bow towards the direction of the Father and Deacon. The mistake from wich you made could litterally happen to anyone.

It's embarrassing but it's not the end of the world. If that's the worst thing that's happened to you then you're lucky. And well, family is family, you'll hear about that forever.

I've never heard of checks being put in a collection basket at mass. Is that particular to the people attending this specific church or is it the other way round and they just don't do it where I live?

That's embarrassing, but why not pick it up? I feel that would've helped at least. Now people probably think you're some inconsiderate person who can't even bother to clean up their own mistakes.
