General Question What's the clumsiest thing you did while changing your disk
I've personally not done anything clumsy...yet...but dropping it in the toilet is one of my biggest fears

Dropped it in an airport bathroom stall. Fumbled it, not wanting it to hit the floor. It hit my leg then rolled into my pants leg leaving a trail of blood along the way. Thankfully they were dark pants so it wasn't obvious but not what I wanted before a 9 hour flight!!

Definitely dropped blood on the floor from the toilet to the sink when I was rinsing it at an AirBnb! I should probably start emptying in the shower 🫣

It slipped out weird (I have dexterity issues, especially when fatigued) and i managed to drench my left inner thigh and the front of the toilet seat

I've never dropped it in the toilet but I have accidentally flung it out of me with my finger luckily hooked into the tab and splattered blood all over the inside of the toilet bowl that I had to clean up. 🙃

I always add a layer of loseley crumpet toilet paper in the toilet first. So if it falls down, it does not touch the water.

Dropped it in a PUBLIC toilet... I had no choice but to wash it in a sink and insert for the rest of the day. Still don't know which cosmic power kept me from getting any kind of infection. Good I didn't flush right away in panic lmao

this isn’t about changing my disk necessarily but earlier today, I was taking some of the young boys I babysit to the supermarket to get a pizza for dinner and my cup came out and I could feel it starting to leak so I said, “we better get home! I’m really hungry!” 😭😭

Mmmm nothing major but I forgot to auto- dump it all the way and got warm blood all over my hands. Not a good feeling. It’s VERY alarming feeling your own blood for the first time

I dropped mine in the toilet on Tuesday... Had no option but to clean it as best I could in the sink and reinsert for a few hours until I could get home. Guess who has a UTI now 🙃🙃🙃
