"Like a bull in a china shop"
When I was growing up the most beautiful table setting dishes (called china) were used for special occasions.
This old saying is asking us to imagine a bull in a china shop filled with beautiful breakable items and realize some things don't go together.
Some things definitely do not belong together at the same time. For example: A showing of a very exquisite teacup collection with an elegant outdoor lovely garden luncheon is not the same place that people should be power spraying their dirty bicycles while listening to ear piercing music. Either one is fine but both together is a disaster. The power sprayers and ear piercing music at an elegant luncheon is "Like a bull in a china shop".....very disruptive (to say the least) or is the garden luncheon disruptive to the power spraying bicycle with loud music gathering? It is just fair to say some things are fine in themselves but don't go together for things to go well.
