The glass is the sort with a handle; holds a bit less than a full stubby of beer. I've had it for years. Was given to me as a gift from a sister who once worked at the ill-fated LoneStar steakhouse; it was marked with a LoneStar logo.
I take a couple of sips, and sit there reclining in the sofa..... when without warning the arse falls off the glass. My lap is promptly filled with Coopers' Stout, which proceeds to ooze into my cods and also into the upholstery.
The shitful things here are manifold:
1. That a glass showing no signs of wear, having faithfully served me for years, should simply drop the bottom out of itself without any provocation whatsoever.
2. That I happen to be drinking Stout, not some other beer, when the glass gives way. Stout will stain the upholstery; lager would not have done so.
3. That I cut myself on a glass splinter when cleaning up the resulting mess.
4. So did the missus.
5. That I wasted more than half a glass of Stout.
6. That my jeans are now in the wash, and I have no clean pairs for the morrow.
7. That the sofa cushions are now sodden, having been sponged off, and are drying in front of the heater - meaning I'm reclining on the carpet to type this peeve.
There are probably more, but that will suffice to vent my spleen.

One of the little girly smacs came to me after a day at kindy recently and told me that someone said a naughty word at kindy. She told me the word was "daddy cow poo" which was her interpretation of "bullsh!t".
