Dropping your pump down the toilet.
I can't believe I have managed to avoid this in 6 months of pumping (do I get a medal?) but I have had many, many close calls, and it can only be a matter of time.
Presumably less of a problem for the ladies, with their handy bras, and for sporty types with their athletic strap-on pouches (oo er!). For us gentlemen of the more lard-***** type, using belt- and pocket- based solutions for pump wearing, it is a constant hazard.
Ah well, at least it's possible to use the tubing to fish it out.
