LOL. That sucks. Poor girl, she must feel so bad. Lesson learnt: don't let anyone handle ancient mirror.
I watched one where this dude was holding a piece of instrument (I think) and it was literally, the only one of its kind in the world. He broke it and then swore a lot.
Oh poor girl she must be distraught I hope she didn't get fired.
talk about bad luck....poor girl
Shes toast no matter what.
She should have been standing on a tempurpedic mattress as she held it!!!!
