I asked this earlier on other social networks with likes/faves but no answers so I'll ask here: if you're in a pub and someone - staff or punter - drops a glass does everyone else in the venue cheer loudly? This is typical in British pubs but I'm wondering if it's the same the world over.

Not common in Turkey.

I think "Cheer Loudly" would be default behavior in American Bar as well #nottthatIhavemuchexperiencinbarsyouunderstand

I've never experienced it, with everyone cheering loudly. At house parties, or when out with a group, the group may say something like "Party foul", or "That's alcohol abuse." But it doesn't apply to everyone in the room, just the group.

I think it'd be more likely to happen amongst a group of friends - "smooth move!" But when you don't know the person, you're more polite.

Interesting. I think, over here, amongst friends you keep quiet and are typically British and embarrassed into silence because one of your group has drawn attention in some way whereas when it's another group or, more likely, someone behind the bar then we engage "British Abroad" mode and go full loud-mouth-yob-shout-loud-point-laugh at them.

I'm representative of some but the people to really ask are college boys...they may well do that.

I've been places (not specifically bars, but small restaurants/dinners) where everyone kind of goes "OOOH!" but not in a mean way. Other times someone yells "clean up!"

From my SoCal experience, it depends on the pub. In the fun ones, you'll get cheers. In the ones that cater to foodies & other boring people, you hear gasps and there's rubbernecking.

I've witnessed more what Heather described in bars (or anywhere) than anything else. More sympathetic than otherwise.

I've personally hollered "job opening!" in jest and I've heard cheering on occasion in rowdier places. Better than making the wait staff feel embarrassed about it, right?

Why would a pub hire a football punter?
- Back to just Joe
In my pub-going days, shouting and applause and warm mockery were the standard.
- Brent Schaus
The role of the punter is to kick a small thing through a large gap some variable distance away. The question you've got to ask, Joe, is why a pub wouldn't hire someone to do this.
- Mark H
True.

It was once common in diners in the Midwest US to applaud. It was in the army mess too.

Mazel tov!

Cheers with this common in Scotland too!

I think most Norwegians will pretend not to notice to lessen the embarrassment for the dropper. We may even feel a little bit of the embarrassment ourselves. At least during the first ten pints.
