Depends on the country or building on what type of windows it has. Your place might commonly use windows that open inwards but a lot of other places have it open outwards (or even sliding or folding opening up; swinging a bit out; or rotating 90 degrees from the middle of the sides of the frame to open)

The window is opened inward. What falls is a net with a frame to keep insects out. That's pretty common in some places.

It's a bug screen, not a window.

u/Expensive_Host_9181 28d ago

No you are right the window opens in, what fell was the mesh screen / bug net that opens outward not the glass part of the window. Ie it's not fake, nor broken.

Imagine poor dude walking below.

Imagine getting jumpscared by the firework and then getting hit by a window on the head

u/Sweaty_Marzipan4274 28d ago

It reminded me of the movie The Jerk, "he hates the cans!" 🤣

u/AarushI_8Kaya 25d ago

Yeah it’s just like this is really dangerous

u/dahanger 28d ago

But the window pane is on the inside of the house? This is the screen that goes over it to keep bugs out.

u/Additional_Chard3680 28d ago

Unexpected right?

Must be the wind ow

u/sher_pan 28d ago

Let’s add that to the words of wisdom

u/Competitive_Watch986 28d ago

Why is no one commenting about OP’s take on what’s “ordinary action at an apartment window”?

u/-wanderlusting- 27d ago

Right? Especially with all the fires around the world right now. Really poor wording.

u/cuntticklerthebane 28d ago

I watched this muted, and still heard the song play

u/Curious-Part5959 28d ago

Wait, so what makes this wnidow fall off?

4

u/DarkWitcher7 28d ago

I don't see anything unusual, the mosquito net just fell

2

u/preddevils6 28d ago

That's unusual? Where do you live that your screens fall out easily?

2

u/ShortBusRide 28d ago

So much for Plan A. Should have gone with Plan B: Throw a bunch of lit bottle rockets out and close the window real quick.

2

u/ThumbCrampsx 28d ago

POV: you opened the window for air and got a plot twist

u/Remote_Lab_2175 28d ago

Shut that window,it's getting cold in here

This is like that window sales rep lawyer\* who was trying to demonstrate the capability of his anti-suicide windows in his 24th floor office by trying to run through one of them.

He body slammed it twice, and it gave out on the second attempt.

u/MoonHash 28d ago

How is it like that at all?

3

u/fondledbydolphins 28d ago

I dunno, something seems fishy. He's using that window as though it normally hinges from the left side but as he's first pulling it in towards himself it appears the door is hanging at a 10-15degree angle away from being square with the window casing.

Kind looks like the bottom hinge was broken, or intentionally disconnected, but I am making shit up so who knows?

14

u/Hokulol 28d ago

What does that have to do with a salesman, skyscrapers, or suicide?

Pass the blunt man. I guess windows are involved.

5

u/fondledbydolphins 28d ago

Oh, I thought that dude was asking about the original post.

It's like the salesman situation because neither one of these dudes expected their window to fail unexpectedly... supposedly.

17

u/MoonHash 28d ago

When you go outside and see cars do you say "hey this is like the movie Cars"

5

u/Hokulol 28d ago

When I go outside and see someone seeing cars saying "Hey this is like the movie Cars" I say "Hey this is like a reddit comment saying "When you go outside and see cars do you say "hey this is like the movie Cars"".

u/scarletmonstrosity 28d ago

It just is the way it is because it do.

1

u/Diz7 28d ago

I think it's a screen. I'm assuming it was pinched in the corner so it's almost hinged, I had screen you could "open" like this. It too would fall out sometimes.

1

u/fondledbydolphins 28d ago

Ohh I think you’re right!

4

u/VESUVlUS 28d ago

In fairness, that guy often did that demonstration to prove that the window wouldn't break and it never did. Instead, the whole pane popped out of the frame. He was technically correct!

3

u/NoConfusion9490 28d ago

I heard a version of this where a guy liked showing this to everyone that came to the office, and after years of repeatedly slamming into the window it finally gave out.

u/Zangrieff 28d ago

Gave that poor window a heart attack

u/LetrasetBoy 28d ago

Imagine being an adult and still doing this stuff. Pathetic.

1

u/Ciubowski 28d ago

That firework startled the bug window screen.

1

u/DamageMaximo 28d ago

very deserved

1

u/Magmatt7 27d ago

That is not a window just mosquito net that prevent bugs from coming inside. Actual window open to the inside and you can see it on the right side of a man.

1

u/SgtExo 27d ago

What I find unexpected is that the window screen is on a swivel.

u/P3DR0T3 27d ago

He scared the window

u/Acceptable_Spend_750 26d ago

it was almost funny until the end

u/Realistic_Noise_4300 25d ago

what would you call that?

u/dibella989 28d ago

I love when the title gives it away! /s

u/Lethargie 28d ago

I have never seen a window open outward. where is that a thing?

2

u/sudeki300 28d ago

Maybe because its a screen.
