Taking a break from knitting/listening to Night Watch, I went downstairs to feed the fish and boil water for tea. I let the water boil and got out my favourite mug (basically a mason jar with a handle), dropped the tea bag in and poured the water.
About 2 seconds go by, and the bottom of the mug just splits off from the rest. It wasn't like I was even holding it up or anything, just... cracked. And then all of a sudden the just boiled water is cascading out of the mug, onto the counter, down the sides onto my feet and even sprayed a little bit onto the cat who had the sense to actually move out of the very hot water, while I just stood there like a dummy. It took me a full five seconds to shout "Holy FUCK!!!" which brought mom running.
So... yeah. That happened.

ananasananas, it was kind of like that time we were at Boston Pizza and the bottom fell off my glass of iced tea and I got a soggy lap, except this would have probably warranted a trip to the doctor.)
FAIL, formerly favourite mug. FAIL.
