I'm always sloshing drinks in many different ways. My most irritating is through an uncontrollable yawn, that causes my hand to flap. This usually happens on a morning, so I end up with hot coffee all over a clean shirt.

I've no end of grief from others around me for spilling stuff everywhere. It's often when walking or quite commonly when putting them down on a table. I seem to misjudge the distance or knock it on things.

I can remember the lunch supervisors in school talking about me in school as I used to spill my drink a lot, even at 10. The best bit about this anecodote is due to me paying more attention to them than my drink I heard the words "look he's pouring it all over himself" sure enough, I was.

I'm terrible with alcohol, more than once a drink has been placed in my hand and I failed to "catch it", that's pretty messy with a full glass. I wasn't particularly drunk either.

For me, it's difficult to handle liquids because they fascinate me. So I do not get focused on what I'm doing. For example, I open the tap water and I get stuck doing nothing because of the flow.

I am absolutely terrible at spilling liquids. It's impressive. Like, actually impressive how bad I am at it. I'll spill with less than 1/5th of the cup full while just normal walking with a lid on the cup sometimes.

It's not usually that bad, but its usually pretty terrible.

I can so relate to this. I can't even pour liquid because when I see that the cup is full, my arm has a slow reaction so I pull away the milk jug or whatever and I somehow manage to spill it all over the counter. Or walking with a cup or bowl full of something is almost impossible because even if I walk very carefully, it like jumps out or something lol
