Worst time for a POP/Lockup?

[Blurry]

This thread is dedicated for all cubers to share their experiences with the worst times/places for pops and/or cubes doing weird things.

Like "That time I was in a meeting room and was cubing under the table with 4x4" etc.

This is meant to be fun, so please share!

Format:

1.When did the event happen?
2.Why did it happen?
3.What action did you take to 'fix' this problem?

I've had friends pop dayan pieces into train tracks.

It's good for me because if I ever lose a piece I can just get a replacement off of one of them, lol.

I know someone who popped a piece in the loo (-_-)

My WeiSu popped on a coach once during a solve (I think it was during OP). Sent three/four centre pieces, a couple of wings and one of those internal pieces flying... Luckily the internal piece didn't go far, and the coach wasn't busy so I could crawl around to find all of the remaining pieces

I had a 5x5 pop on a bus filled once. Luckily I had enough time to reassemble it. I think the worst pop I ever had was at Disneyland. I had a 3x3 race with two of my friends while in line for the Indiana Jones ride. My cube did more than pop. It exploded with the force of 20 Tsar Bombas. I ended up having to crawl between other people to find the pieces. 2embarrased.

I was taking a dump in a public restroom and my OH zhanchi popped for the first time. Lost about half the cube in the toilet and just threw away the pieces (I am not a germaphobe, but that would be too gross for me!).

The worst for me is during a lecture, my 7x7 exploded everywhere and got in people's backpacks, tables, etc. Took me a full week for everyone to find all the pieces that were in clothing and such.

Wow, my worst would probably be my 5x5 on a plane.. I was crawling in between aisles for around a hour, I had several flight attendants ask me if I was okay and feeling well.

When you are Kevin Hays and you are attempting to break the 6x6 single WR

Was gonna get a sub4 official 7x7 solve when I had annoying lockups at the end then AUFed the wrong way (I corrected the AUF, but it cost me time).

Why would you even wanna try cubing in a public restroom
