Tell me about the worst bead spillage u've evr had

I keep on spilling my beads everywhere cus I don't put the lids on and then I kick the boxes or push them off my bed by accident and they go every where. I've probably spent hours cleaning beads off my floor and resorting them :')

Every time a bead touches my floor a little bit of my soul dies /j

We moved recently and all of our beads were sorted except for this one jar that my sibling calls the miscellaneous bead jar. It has everything from those flat round coin beads to size 11/0 seed beads. The other day I was looking through it so I had it out sitting on my blanket on the couch, I went to move completely forgetting that the lid was not on it and it spilt all over my blanket and down the middle of the couch (one of those reclining couches that’s split into parts and is hollow underneath) luckily the couch cushions caught some of the larger beads but we spent a good 15 minutes at least on the floor picking up tiny seed beads from under the couch so that the cat wouldn’t find them and try to eat them.
Another really bad bead spill was when I was making this shawl that was really heavy on the beadwork and I had a bunch of strung seed beads that I was going to be using for it. When I was undoing the bunch the string snapped and I ended up with an entire shawls worth of tiny seed beads on our carpeted floor it was awful, I was still finding beads in the carpet months later (thankfully it was before we got our cat so I didn’t have to worry about her trying to eat those beads

:33< I have a box full of art supplies and I set my bag of black beads on top of it, but little did I know there was a hole in the bag and when I went to pick up the bag, the beads went everywhere in the bin. I had to take out all of my stuff and reorganise it. that day was tragic.

I was in the middle of sorting out a bunch of beads on my bed and my brother knocked on my door and scared the crap outta me. I jumped and spilled nearly all the beads out of their little sections and I had to re-sort all of them
Not to mention beads are still probably stuck in my blanket, under my carpet, and under the table at the foot of my bed

i had this lil box full of fully organized TINY beads. and i really mean tiny. i knocked it off my computer, it went all over everywhere. i tried sweeping it but i still find some to this day in my carpet and on the floor like where r u coming from

also spilled a box of pony beads under my bed. it was a pain to reach under and find all of them so my cats wouldnt eat them.

( this wasnt kandi beads but jewelry making stuff.) so i had a small kit of earring hooks, eye pins, jump rings and Lobster clasps and it didnt shut properly and it ended up spilling all over the bottom of a storage bin and took forever to organize

sister accidentally kicked one of those smaller bead sets from joann across the room and scattered them everywhere, and they were all arranged by color and type too T.T

idea for cleaning them up: I have this hand held mini vaccuum, so sometimes I make sure the filter is cleaned from any dust or muck and I just use that to vaccuum up any missing stragglers from the carpet, then grab the beads from inside.
