A Messy Shopping Trip

I did some grocery shopping tonight.  It was not an unusual shopping trip.  I bought mostly the same things I buy.  I did buy a large bottle of liquid soap refill, not a weekly purchase, but a typical purchase.  I also bought a gallon of milk, a regular and typical purchase.  The cashier loaded the soap bottle into one of the bags I bring to the store.  At my direction she did not bag the gallon of milk.  I typically load the unbagged items at the back of the Vue, but for some reason tonight, I put them on the platform behind the drivers seat.  So, when I got home, and opened the car door, the gallon of milk tumbled out, cracked open, and started to spew onto the garage floor. I was able to change the position of the gallon so it stopped leaking from the break.  I took the milk into the house, and poured the milk into a different container, then cleaned up the mess.

I brought the rest of the groceries inside, and discovered that the bottle of liquid soap refill had a broken cap, so there was a leak of liquid soap into the bag.  I used my recyclable bags, and the one that the soap was in is a coated bag.  So, I just needed to clean up the items in the bag, which were mostly cans, and clean up the soap out of the bag.  No harm really done.

So, I lost a little product.  Some milk, some soap. But, I believe things happen in threes. So I am wondering what else will spill, break open, or otherwise create a mess.
