I think we do it to save the embarrassment of the person who dropped the item. It makes it funny instead of embarrassing. X

It lightens the mood too. I’ve seen waitresses take a bow after the cheer. Accidents happen x

I would much rather drop a plate and everyone has a laugh rather than drop it and have everyone looking and whispering “so embarrassing poor guy”

Brits are generally empathetic & support the underdog (here, the person who drops the glass) the cheer is supportive.

It's from school. Whenever a dinner lady or pupil dropped a plate by accident all the rest of the children would cheer.

It’s so you don’t get the awkward silence and makes it acceptable so the person doesn’t feel bad or embarrassed.🇬🇧❤️
