So far this year my only crockery fatality has been one mug. If I keep it up till the end of the year, this might be a record.

They're most likely testing the waters to see if their comments get deleted or not. If successful, they'll come back with the spammy links.

From the writing style I'll hazard a guess at it being one of the Indian or Bangladeshi based spammers, in which case they'll probably try to slip in links to sites selling "supplements".:whistle:
Russian or Rumanian, they've seen his pictures and would like to marry him. The only problem, money required for a visa to leave.

That or kitchens.

Sorry. You're keeping all your crockery up? I suspect this may be where the problem lies. If you were to put the crockery down, there'd be much less chance of it breaking, I think. Just to illustrate this, consider how many times any of your crockery has thrown itself off a shelf or worktop when no-one is actually anywhere near it. I'd imagine that the number of times that happened is getting pretty close to nought. No, I'd certainly advocate reducing your crockery-keeping-up to as near zero as possible.

How often have they thrown themselves of the shelves when there's someone around.

That's all well and good (I learned semaphore from Swallows and Amazons), but if you think removing their phones from them would be easy I suggest you study the phrase used by gun nuts in the USA........something to do with "prising it from my cold dead hands", and apply that to hordes of ankle biters.
Now they all have the Spartan Kings' reply on their back window sticker. Come...Take.. or μολὼν λαβέ, said by Leonidas I to Xerxes at Thermopylae.
Don't even get me started. One could study some of the other laconic phrases, and get a better idea of the Spartan ideals.
