To avoid/ignore/not notice the main part of a conversation, topic ect.

Originating from presumably by someone putting away shopping, and a loaf of bread falls out the bag and to the floor. But the person does not notice it/ignores it and continues to put away the shopping.
"Don't leave the bread on the floor."

"Well sorry I left the bread on the floor."

"I'm afraid you left the bread on the floor."

"Are you leaving the bread on the floor?"

Get the Leaving the bread on the floor mug.
"bread on the floor" is used when someone is really fucking stupid and leaves some perfectly good bread out on the dirty floor, and then the good bread becomes dirty
man1: "dude, thats bread on the floor"
man2: "oh shit, i was stupid, im sorry"
man1: "you should be sorry, you worthless piece of shit"
