    what is the most valued item you ever owned that you broke by accident ??

    I owned a brand new Lg 3d tv and was playing Assasians Creed 3 one night and got really annoyed at a level and threw my ps3 controller and it bounced off the tv stand and hit the tv screen and cracked it :mad::(. I didnt have insurance but it would not cover it anyway so had to fork out for a new tv 3 weeks after buying the one i broke :(:D.

    I got all rosemantic while staying at a relative's house.

    I lit some night-lights for my gf and I.

    I thought the whole point of night lights was that they did not need anything underneath them .

    Not the case!

    I left a black circle on an (very) antique dresser.

    Did not go down well

    Valued or valuable ?

    Valuable - spent about a grand on hardware components - new motherboard, processor, gigs of ram & hard drives, built my own system. Finished the job, cracked open a beer when I was finished & then promptly dropped it into the open cast, flooding it & killing it.

    Most valued - a hand made glass christmas decoration that a friend of my parents made commemorating the millennium (99/00), was beautiful, a true work of art, had all our portraits on it, a real heirloom piece. Went to hang it on the tree that first year & promptly missed the loop onto the branch, it shattered into a thousand pieces.

    I used to be quite clumsy.

    I let my Portal gun (replica) fall down the stairs, smashed beyond repair. It cost a fair few quid too, there were almost tears.

    I'd have to say... some old Georgian era painting that's worth thousands - I somehow managed to tear a hole in it while moving boxes.

    Probably Bob Beaman's long jump record.

    The wind speed was slightly above regulation though so it didn't count.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,367 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    I presume it ended up broken but more a case of "lost"...

    As a two year old I was playing with the Omega watch my mother had bought for my father to mark their engagement and buried it in the sand on Curracloe beach.

    Predictable after hours response : my virginity.

    Real response: a ceramic hob (tin of peas fell out of a cupboard and smashed it. Cost me 600 feckin' euro to replace it!!)

    My 2004 Toyota MR-S, which was 8 weeks old. Completely wrote it off and nearly killed myself in the process. Lesson well learned!

    Lol. No it's what he said when he broke my hymen apparently:D.

    I may or may not have been involved in an incident where the main subsea Telecom cable between Britain and Northern Ireland was severed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,465 ✭✭✭✭cantdecide


    Valuable: My freshly repainted Honda Blackbird motorbike. It had cost me about 4.5k to buy it and put it right It went from being a munter to a minter to being pulverised in the space of a couple of months.

    Valued: "You do realise it's a miracle you didn't lose your arm, right?" is something you wouldn't like to hear from an orthopaedic surgeon. I did :o They were separate incidents btw

    Ive broken multi million dollar servers and caused untold amounts of revenue loss while I ineptly floundered around trying to undo my bodgery.

    I'm always breaking stuff by accident. Most valuable was probably a crystal chandelier I fired an American football through while trying to do a back pass. Probably shouldn't have been playing indoors but a few weeks before I put a golf ball through a window and football through a green house so I though I'd be safe.

    Made a fuuuuck up at work many years ago... 5 batches of product worth about €30k each ended up in the bin. :(

    Managed to cover my tracks though so it looked like an equipment malfunction.. Even got a promo for identifying the problem and suggesting a permanent fix :P

    So that was you.

    First job was working in the stock room of a pottery/household store, they sold Louise Kennedy vases. We had one for £800 (back in pure euro), I was stacking it on the top shelf not realising a beam was missing, fell through the gap and smashed inside it's box. As a fifteen year old I panicked, stocked it again to the back of the room and made a wall of bad selling plates in front if it.

    It was found 2 yrs later by a friend who worked there after me apparently.

    Not the most valuable, but the most expensive thing I've ever broken was my fibula on J1. Obviously i had medical insurance, it was something like US$3500 and apparently that's way down the cheap end of the scale.

    Not really. I had to fly half way across the country on business one day and return late that night, which I was not too happy about. The screws that bolted the seat to the floor were loose on my flight out. I ended up breaking the seat (with a little work wink wink). Knowing a thing or two about the airlines, I knew it was the same jet on the return trip. I complained about the seat condition and said I would not fly in the seat on the return trip, knowing they would take it off line for repair and put us up for the night and provide dinner.

    (Oh yeah… Did I mention I was traveling with a cute ex-model co-worker who liked to party. Last thing I remember was carrying her across a 6 lane highway dodging traffic. And I had one hell of a hangover on the flight back the next morning)

    My Thai Bride. She didn't last long; inferior build quality.

    Got a nice strong recommended replacement now, a Russian. Not too pricey and works well in the fields.
