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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, as I turned to face the cashier at the supermarket, I managed to knock over an entire display of gift cards with my backpack. 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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

some churches are big, Catholic or not. the church my mother has dragged me to has on average 700-800 people attend each Sunday. religious holidays like Easter or xmas youll except double that because everyone and their cousin goes to church those days.

Mistakes happen. That would be embarrassing, but hopefully you are able to laugh about it, because embarrassing stuff (e.g., mistakes) like his happens a lot. Hopefully your family is just making light of the situation and poking fun. Best to just laugh it off and move on. It will be a good story to tell the grandchildren one day.

I'm always scared one day I'll drop the communion when it's passed at church! That sucks, I'm sorry.

You may already know, but those types will get upset about anything deemed a sleight against that. Maybe just not go back to that church for awhile and find another. Your family is being crappy as well to you.
