Hopefully you caught yourself and didn’t crash to the floor. 
 

I’ve come close to the dreaded attic miss-step. 

Yeah. I just stuck my foot through it. I have almost all the attic floored. Almost…

This is in a small linen closet in the bathroom. There isn’t another joist before you get to the wall on either side. I don’t know a real good way to patch it. I guess it won’t be real critical it look good since no one will ever see it.

Many years ago I did this. I was a gopher/grunt for an electrician my first job out of high school. My task was to pull a piece of romex through the attic of preschool/daycare one morning. Needless to stay I made a misstep and stuck a boot through the concealed grid ceiling. It didn’t help there were preschoolers in attendance at the same time .

I did this once in the first house I ever bought. I cant remember why I was in the attic, but my foot went thru the sheetrock. Luckily, that room had a suspended ceiling also, so just had to replace a couple tiles.

Back in 2018 I was getting my Industrial Electricity certificate. We went to a house for some real world hands on experience that our instructor was working on. 30 min into being there the instructor had his leg through the ceiling hanging out into the kitchen. It was hilarious.

I'm a retired volunteer fireman, and I went through a burned out floor in a multi-story structure once, stopping myself with my arms. Luckily for me the fire was mostly out on the lower floor, and others helped me back up. I don't recommend it.

This is 100% a Christmas Vacation moment.  

I’m with ya now.

Honestly, it’ll have taken more effort to remove and replace all the chit my wife had stuck in said closet than it will to repair the hole. I’m waiting for the mud to dry before sanding now.
