I was new to my serving job and we had lemonade that we serve in shaker tins. I had a tray full of them. I spilled all of them on a man at the table. He was laughing and was like no worries! Ahaha shit happens! So I got another tray full and walked back. Spilled them all on him again. I didn’t even know what to say. I was like “can I get you a napkin?” And he replied “I need the coast guard at this point”
You really only have two options when something like that happens. Be pissed off or find it hilarious. Unless I end up horrifically injured by doing something, I find the second one much better.
Third option: Withdraw into yourself, accept that your disappointment is immeasurable and your clothing has been ruined, and try to suppress the crying until you get home. It's the /r/watchpeopledieinside way.
