So … does that mean we should update this to the 21st century because we no longer have short supply of milk? Like “It’s no use crying over spilled gasoline”?
Spilled gasoline is a whole different SPECTRUM of problem compared to spilled milk. Spilled milk is just a slight mess, and possibly a slipping hazard depending on how much you spill. Spilled gasoline is a mess, and a slipping hazard, and a health hazard, AND an explosion waiting to happen. If you’re NOT crying over spilled gasoline I think it’s time to reevaluate your medication dosage.
Ah none of that actually warrants crying.
Usually an oops or a dang or some grumbling on having to clean up the mess and dealing with any secondary damage is about it.
If it gets to the uh-oh level then that usually entails a quick vacating of the area to avoid an assisted exit accompanied by much screaming and fire – there is always fire in some form involved.
I don’t think DTIBA is advocating “bursting into tears” at a gas station, but rather “crying out in alarm”? Or perhaps crying out a witty one-liner while leaping dramatically away from the explosion? https://image.ibb.co/iMbKaV/giphy.gif
If my friend hadn’t broken that whisky bottle back in 2012, we would have drank it and with all the vodka we had before I might not be here today. So I’m actually happy he broke that one
The rule we used was, 10 pushups per spill. We were less strict about who did them–as long as SOMEONE did pushups the ignominious stain had been cleansed (in a purely metaphorical sense…).
My guess is, you are really crying because of your limited supply. If you had enough bourbon on hand the spilled one was quickly forgotten.

Well, gasoline might get you teary-eyed from the fumes, but I suppose that’s crying in the onion sense rather than the sorrow sense.

That song reminds me of those ASPCA commercials.
I think that those commercials should be outlawed by the Geneva Convention or whatever. Very dirty warfare!
