Have you ever bought something home in a box and have in your hurry to get the item up and running broken it, whilst trying to unwrap it or assemble it?

Have you ever received a present, Christmas, birthday or leaving present for example and as soon as you got it out of the box you have broken it by accident, either by handling it wrong, dropping it or clumsily breaking the item?

Have your children been so impatient or so hurried at opening their presents that they have broken the toy or present in the box

Or trying to put up/construct/build an item from brand new you have snapped or broken a part?

Any funny stories or incidents of brand new one minute, broken in the next minute!

Hello wolfie. I am happy that I have never met this kind of case and will never expect to have one case from happening because it would be very disappointing if it were to happen.


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (12048)   ranked 100 out of 29,024 in life  3 months ago

Glad you haven't had the inconvenience of this happening, thanks my friend!

it is not that I broke anything from being in a hurry but I have put something together in the wrong order which caused it not to work correctly at firts. For instance for cordless phone with caller ID.


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (12048)   ranked 100 out of 29,024 in life  3 months ago

Sometimes the instructions of how to put it together do not make sense or turn out to be very unhelpful!

This one took me back about 111 years to my seventh birthday, Wolfie. And that's a lot of years to go back.

On that day my parents gave me a record. It was MY record, all MINE! I begged them to let me take it to school so that I could have my teacher play it for "Show and Tell," permitting me to let everyone in my class know that it was MY BIRTHDAY! It was MY day. (Later in life to be viewed as bigfuckingdeal)

My parents gave in, admonishing me to be careful with MY RECORD for MY BIRTHDAY!

I had to walk nearly a mile to the school bus stop and I walked very carefully, record neatly tucked under my armpit.

When I got to the bus stop, my fellow students, including two of my cousins who were my age, were converging at the stop from all directions.

One of my cousins asked me what was under my arm. I told him that it was MY RECORD for MY BIRTHDAY!

He grabbed it from its place of safety and as I reacted, trying to grab it back from him, he dropped it and accidentally stepped on it:

CRAAAASSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH!

MY RECORD for MY BIRTHDAY never made it to my second grade Show and Tell.

OUCH! Oh no, definitely tears before bedtime! I remember my friend buying me one of these brilliant guns that made different noises and flashed when you pressed the trigger I wanted to show it off to my mum and so I got out of my friends car and ran up to the front door and I tripped and fell and landed on my gun and it broke in two I was heartbroken!

I am too heavy handed with jewellery and many a time I have broken chains because they were too fine! I have to wear bulky jewellery if it is going to last on me! Good job I don't like to wear much jewellery!

Our niece's boyfriend gave us a sculpture while we were in British Columbia visiting my brother-in-law and sister-in-law on our way to Alaska. Well we put the sculpture in the luggage, and got on the plane to go back to Winnipeg. What happened, is that we should have carried it on so it was broken in two pieces. Did not want to repair it, after all it just was a modern sculpture so we put it in the garbage. It is a good thing it was not a Royal Doulton figurine or one of those Hummel figures of the kid with the dog, or I would have been really upset.


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (12048)   ranked 100 out of 29,024 in life  3 months ago

Just as well it wasn't expensive my friend!


myLot reputation of 72/100. suspenseful (13393)   ranked 1,069 out of 29,024 in life  3 months ago

It did not cost that much, but next time we will ask for a gift certificate. lol

I haven't experience that wolfie, some of the gifts for me are clothing, jewelries! But, in the past during our exchange gifts, I remember my close friend showing to me a nice picture frame which she bought for my Sister and accidentally, she dropped it, she was so sad and she got another one for her, good thing it happens before the party and she got time to get another gift!! LOL!happyhappyhappy


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (12048)   ranked 100 out of 29,024 in life  3 months ago

That was fortunate it was before she gave it to her, but not so lucky that she had to replace it!


myLot reputation of 97/100. checapricorn (8039)   ranked 355 out of 29,024 in life  3 months ago

I agree...it wasn't good for her to spend another "peso" to get another gift!happyhappyhappy

I have purchased a brand new HP 1005 printer for the office use. On the very first day it was installed while opening the flap its lever break away it really hurt me. How do you feel if it happens to you. Think that U have love and your heart broke what are your comments.


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (12048)   ranked 100 out of 29,024 in life  3 months ago

I don't find love that is my answer, I don't want it, I am happy being single. Thanks for your response. It is upsetting to buy something new and expensive only for it to be broken.

Hmmm... I'm trying to think of something I've broken like that, but I don't think I have. There*was* a defective camera once that I didn't know was "broken" until after the pictures were developed (yes, back in those days!) What a disappointment that was... thinking I was taking Christmas pictures to find they all had white streaks on them when I got them back. sad


myLot reputation of 99/100. wolfie34 (12048)   ranked 100 out of 29,024 in life  3 months ago

I hate cameras (pre digital) because it was so much of a gamble when you took photos as to how they developed, least with polaroid and digital cameras if the shot was naff then you'd take it again. I remember going away abroad taking my camera and the shots were really bad and it's too late all those memories lost!

Hi Wolfie, I have never broken something that was brand new as I opened but only this morning, my daughters 22nd birthday she opened her present from me and we both automatically thought it wa broken. We read through the manual, tried to play the dvd and nothing, emailed the company who had sent it and then she read troubleshooting at the back and realised that we hadn't realeased the mechanism catch. It was a lateral thigh trainer and boy are my legs aching now, it tells you how many calories you are burning at the same time as exercising too. I am aching in places I never knew I had muscles, in fact it is a pain in the ar*e LOL. Ellie:D
