One time I decided to get spaghetti and sauce while I was food shopping but I forgot that I had taken my motorcycle to the store and bought too much stuff to fit comfortably under the cargo net on the back. So I tried to just ride reeeeal slow and easy to get it all home, and I made it all the way to the turn onto my home street, and that was when it all slipped out of the net and smashed into the road.
I went back on foot to survey the damage. One can of beans survived the fall, and one bottle of soda didn't fall off at all. So that was my dinner that night.
I've had two similar experiences. Years ago I bought some 85% absinthe from my local bottle shop. I was riding home on my longboard and the bag had a hole in it. I heard a smash and there was $110 in the gutter.
Recently I went shopping with my kids in their trailer pram. I bought a bit too much stuff and had to sit my lunch on top of everything else in the back storage section. My lunch slipped out the back but it didn't get too dirty so I rode home holding its paper bag myself
