I've always considered me and my friends handling of board games and card games to be perfectly normal, but maybe I'm wrong.
I don't think I can put my hands on a single compleate game apart from my copy Arkham Horror and Talisman, and that is only maintains by me hitting people with a sword until they retrieve whatever piece they have decided should go and live under the sofa today. And that gets me branded as obsessive by everyone else.

I don't understand this worry about cards or bits getting destroyed or lost! I've been playing boardgames for 20 years and I can't remember ever loosing a card or token. Yes, some cards show some wear and tear, but if you're really worried about that there are plenty of different card sleeves to choose from.
I've always considered me and my friends handling of board games and card games to be perfectly normal, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe we're unconsciously extremely careful when we play, and that's why we still haven't "torn, stepped on, tossed down or accidentally destroyed" any of our cards. We have definitely not shredded any cards yet. 
I have a little stack of counters from Twilight Imperium in my living room at the moment, and I don't even own the game. They're from the last time somebody brought it round to mine to play, I retrieved them from under the sofa a few days later. We hadn't even realised they were missing at the time, so would we even notice if a few bits from WFRP went missing?
The soldiers from Risk that I retrieved at the same time have gone back in the box, since that's a game I actually own. 
Haha! I guess we are uniquely careful/obsessive about the bits and cards then. 
It doesn't feel like it though. The only rule we have is no drinks on the same table as the board.
Hmm... maybe it's a Swedish thing...
All kinds of gaming on my blog. From Infinity to WFRP to Diaspora. Have a look at Fire Broadside!

With my first party, we only hava a small table, no place for drinks, so we don't need a rule like that, everyone keeps drinks on the floor.
With my other party, we play in a pub, so we can't make a rule like that. :)
The only "drinking issues" we had was when I showed my new HackMaster rulebook to a friend in a pub, and he accidentally poured some beer on it. It wasn't serious, the paper drank it all off. I'm eager to test, how it reacts to my player's blood... 
"Barbarism is the natural state of mankind," the borderer said, still staring somberly at the Cimmerian. "Civilization is unnatural. It is a whim of circumstance. And barbarism must always ultimately triumph."

Wow. Even I dare not be that repressive. ;o)
Hehe! Well, I guess it's more of a guideline. It all depends on the game. And alhough we haven't actually had any accidents involving drinks I can just imagine the known galaxy dissolving from a knocked over bottle of beer. When playing Twilight Imperium that is.
Hmm, sorry for the hijack.
