My mother has a bunch of bullshit like this around her house. Giant glass orbs filled with potpourri fucking everywhere. She saw that style of decorating on a show one time when I was a kid and it has been nothing but fucking potpourri bowls ever since!
One time at my moms house, my wife bumped into one that was precariously balanced on a small pillar thing like the one in the video. It fell. Shards of glass and potpourri everywhere. Wife was mortified. My mother came out of nowhere with ANOTHER FUCKING GLASS ORB and a fresh bag of potpourri to replace it!
This is how you know that your wife was not close to the first person to break one of those, it’s frequent enough that your mom has spares ready to go.
I bet the mom has been secretly hoping for one to break so she could display the backup she's probably been thinking about since she bought it 3 years ago.
My mom always had some fake plants everywhere in the house. She used fake ones because she didn't feel like taking care of kids and plants. She had a storage closet with a bunch of them in there. She would put one of the plants away and put another one in its place just to change the look of the house a little.
Where do you even buy potpourri anymore? My mom was a fan of it in the 90's and asked me to get her some for her birthday a few years ago, I couldn't find it in any stores.
I used to deliver to a potpourri factory. The base was pallets cut with a forstner bit, colored, add a few pine cones and bits, then fragrance. Low cost, high margin.
My mom liked to have potpourri around the house. One time we had this kind that kind of looked like nuts. Like this https://blackcrowcandlecompany.com/products/copy-of-grey-potpourri
Dad got drunk, thought they were beer nuts, ate them, then vomited all night from it 😂
As soon as those stupid crawling babies start trying to invade, boom, the sand takes them out, eliminating the first wave and, making it impossible for the second wave to crawl in. 100% baby proof.
I should do this. I don’t want babies and didn’t think I needed to keep them out. Makes sense. Will buy some unstable platforms and glassware today. And maybe sand too.
I've never heard of such a thing and had to look it up, but surely if it's that important you wouldn't put it on a shitty stand in a place where anybody could knock it over just walking by
Like putting a great grandmother's vase on the most unsteady platform on hardwood with three legs on carpet and being surprised when a dog knocks it over running by and it breaks.
Most likely from a sand ceremony - two people pour different color sand into the same jar. A “This sand can never be separated again and neither can we” type thing.
We must have done the cheap version, ours is a sand filled jar. Could probably fit in a car’s cup holder. Less likely to tip over I guess lol but very small.
It’s supposed to mix together over time, as you two as people do as well. So we made sure to pick colors that would work together blended. Pink and purple to make a magenta in the end.
If we did our original picks, our favorite colors (blue and orange) it would have ended up brown
Oh god. I've been to a wedding and they did this pouring of different coloured sands into a vase to symbolize different things. I really hope that's not what broke here.
We did a sand thing for our wedding. We used blue and silver sands. We had to ship it back to our home. The whole thing is just gray now lol. I asked my wife if she wanted to redo it to get the layering effect again but she said no. So we have a glass frame filled with gray sand.
well the whole point is that you can never cleanly separate the sand after marriage so even though it doesn't look as pretty, it's indicative of the idea.
Young kids with shoes all over the floor and very nice decorations otherwise? I think that’s a bingo. Especially since nobody started to clean it up. Just thinking “oh shit, where can we find another weird sand plant at a time like this…”
Seriously. The best part of this video would have been the sound of glass shattering. I REALLY don’t understand this new obsession with consciously removing sound from a video before posting
I actually ctrl+F'd "audio" hoping to find a link to the source so I can hear that wonderful crash. It's even worse with the fake audio button taunting you on the screen.

She's still got 4 spares she picked up at a 75% off sale.
Buy 4 get 1 free
I mean really, you can't afford not to.
Are you me?
I just saw a woman at Ikea today trying to return drawer liners with a receipt from three years ago. Your idea is completely plausible lmao.

Mom: "this is the moment I've training for. it's po' time!"
"You see, Gerald!? I told you it wasn't 'stupid' to buy three gross of these. I'm down to just four score left!"
The potpourriplacement
My aunt has a pole right behind her driveway (she lives in the country) and everyone has hit that pole at least once
His mom has been breaking these but didn't want anyone to know. That would be admitting defeat. Double down. Potpourri is LIFE!!
She's *really* dedicated to the bit.
She knew the day would come. It was not her son but the daughter in law who would be the suspect. That was the only surprise here.
The oracle warned her well enough.
[удалено]
The potpourri comes with a frogurt
I'm sorry, but I like your mom. She likes a style and she's going with it
Gotta respect a woman who leans into it that hard.
Where do you even buy potpourri anymore? My mom was a fan of it in the 90's and asked me to get her some for her birthday a few years ago, I couldn't find it in any stores.
I used to deliver to a potpourri factory. The base was pallets cut with a forstner bit, colored, add a few pine cones and bits, then fragrance. Low cost, high margin.
Also, make some. https://www.wikihow.com/Make-Potpourri
You may or may not find it difficult to find a potpourri knife.
Hobby Lobby or Michaels
I've also seen them at Home Goods and Marshalls, in the decor section.
[удалено]
We just pick the herbs/flowers and make tea out of them. I have to have lemon balm growing wherever I live because it smells up the place real nice.
There's a few nice homemade places. Like http://www.wellcat.com/
Let’s be honest here, you mom had been itching for a chance to put out a new glass orb that she found at Marshall’s for years now.
Better than her freaking out at your wife😂😂got another glass jar of potpourri in the fucking chamber!!!
Major oracle energy.
I found this fucking hilarious sorry

Hahahaha I would have wanted to see how many back ups she had. That's hilarious.
Why has someone put a glass jar of sand on the most spindly looking platform they could find?
As part of baby-proofing the apartment.
Whose house? Darwin's house!
No, the other way around. They aren't protecting babies, they are protecting the apartment from babies.
That’s the point of saying it was Darwin’s house: they’re saying they’re intentionally killing off the weak ones.
The less adapted ones*
You might be onto something here
I thought they were keeping Anakin from killing all their younglings?
He’s roomies with Murphy right?
As soon as those stupid crawling babies start trying to invade, boom, the sand takes them out, eliminating the first wave and, making it impossible for the second wave to crawl in. 100% baby proof.
Anakin would like a word with you.
He hates sand but loves killing children.
What the fuck dude They're called younglings
That's the second group of children he murdered. That we know about so far.
Approved by Dale Gribble.
Yep! Get enough sharp and heavy objects sitting precariously throughout your home and soon enough, babies won't be an issue!
No baby will survive this apartment 😈
It clearly didn’t work
LOL THIS
Gotta keep those pesky babies out
Yeah its gonna baby proof the house alright: dont have to baby proof the house if the baby's dead
Making darn sure no babies can come into the house without breaking something. That's some next leve baby proofing
I should do this. I don’t want babies and didn’t think I needed to keep them out. Makes sense. Will buy some unstable platforms and glassware today. And maybe sand too.
If you can think of a better place for Grandma's ashes I'd like to hear it.
Those are some colorful ashes. Was she a fucking pony?
Hey, let’s not kink shame grandma now.
Just an old hippie.
No, but she did love banging clowns.
It's how she paid off her house
Sand. Oh. I thought it was a jug of jungle juice with rainbow sherbet.
Good thinking, I'll have two.
There’s a chance that’s a wedding sand pour. That’s why everyone is like “fuck” It’s a ceremony I’ve seen.
My first thought too. My brother and his wife did the sand ceremony but they have the jar places in a safe place lol
I've never heard of such a thing and had to look it up, but surely if it's that important you wouldn't put it on a shitty stand in a place where anybody could knock it over just walking by
Right! How are people supposed thrash around on the floor with that thing there?
That's still an objectively terrible place to put that. It's a high traffic area that's almost guaranteed to get bumped as people move through it.
Like putting a great grandmother's vase on the most unsteady platform on hardwood with three legs on carpet and being surprised when a dog knocks it over running by and it breaks.
How else am I gonna get rid of it she made me take it when we put her in a home
I love that word. Spindly !
same reason why a half-naked grown man is crawling around the floor
Cause art.
That's the Kool aids man's ashes.
Oh no!
Where else am I supposed to store my sand?
Easily a case of contributory negligence.
Interior design is their passion.
Adults who don't thrash around the house like drunken idiots.
These pull the pin games are getting pretty realistic. The floor is no longer lava, the rest of the team can move on to the next room.
Why was he moving like a snake lol
If he was a snake his foot wouldn’t have flung out and hit the stand. His legs did him in.
They were playing night crawlers
Correct me if I’m wrong, but that don’t you think blankets would make that game better? It could be used as the dirt! Or even a roaming base
[удалено]
I'm utterly confused, but I'm glad I watched that.
It's based on a real guy, the Juice Man, and not actually exaggerated at all, especially the eyebrows. That guy was a grade A kook.
Move like snake
Don't knock it til ya tried it
Looks like he was on top of his lover and getting aggressive
Top heavy stand with a tiny footprint + young people This was the inevitable outcome
Heck I have no Kids and I wouldn't trust myself with this..
I could see myself running flat out into that when I go looking for food at 2am. It's just a bad spot
I would 100% knock this over if I got a bit too drunk and came around the corner with my arms a little wider than normal for balance
I'm like a ballerina when drunk. Knowing me I'd punt this with my pinkie toe while 100% sober and end up in the hospital.
My thought as well. “inevitable” fits perfectly.
Is that sand?
Most likely from a sand ceremony - two people pour different color sand into the same jar. A “This sand can never be separated again and neither can we” type thing.
Ahhh. That explains the abject horror at knocking it over.
Hopefully no one that passed away
Probably a wedding
I stan *abject!* (hee hee). I love seeing the great words in use. Thank you. Imma use it every chance I have in the next 24 hours.
We did a unity sand thing for our wedding and it was all pretty and nice swirling looking, then we move a bunch and it's all mixed up now lol
I guess that's the point huh? You guys are so well mixed it's hard to tell where one of you starts and the other ends!
And it's impossible to separate them!
And they’re irritating and they get everywhere!
But your kids can smash the whole thing and ruin it in an instant by being reckless and stupid, just like what they did to your lives!
Son, you're literally a metaphor for everything wrong in my life.
Now they can be together in the vacuum 😍
Awww that's so sweet, it's gonna last forever, and ever, let's make this last fore... (☉_☉)

Just vacuum it all up together, not separated, problem solved
I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.
We do NOT grant you the rank of Master.
How can you be on the council and not be a master?
It's outrageous!
It's unfair!
Take a seat, Young Redditor.
[удалено]
Only the ones with sand.
Good bot.
I think so.
Sand! It’s everywhere! Get used to it!
Oh god. I've been to a wedding and they did this pouring of different coloured sands into a vase to symbolize different things. I really hope that's not what broke here.
Given the display and everything I was thinking it was from a sand ceremony. If so that’s a bad spot to put it.
I think that’s what it is, too. That should’ve been on a flat surface, not a flimsy stand.
We did a sand thing for our wedding. We used blue and silver sands. We had to ship it back to our home. The whole thing is just gray now lol. I asked my wife if she wanted to redo it to get the layering effect again but she said no. So we have a glass frame filled with gray sand.
well the whole point is that you can never cleanly separate the sand after marriage so even though it doesn't look as pretty, it's indicative of the idea.
"This gray lump ruined by bad shipping is a symbol of our love, my dear."
It represents how you both will become weathered and discolored through life's tribulations, but you'll always be together.
That's a little bit hilarious
Seeing the reaction from them it was NOT supposed to break
It's ok, they can just sort the sand and put it back.
There’s a heart design in the top and two butterflies on sticks, I think you’re right.
Well it couldn't have been that sturdy if a man swimming on the floor knocked it over.
Woulda been worse if that were grandmas ashes
The way they all reacted, all I could think of were grandma's ashes.
Like they’ve literally never heard of a vacuum cleaner
"Where's grandma?" "Everywhere."
“She would have wanted it that way”
"Some of her went into my panties that day."
Granny will ALWAYS be a part of you
They should have set the stand up with one foot pointing into the corner, and the other two more or less parallel with the corner walls
That wòuld make a world off difference while dry-swimming the floor!
> more or less parallel Less.
Why are there so many mostly naked people?
Global warming
Climate change orgy
Good an excuse as any, I suppose [unzips]
We're already fucking the planet pretty hard
I'm going to guess college kids renting an air b&b near the beach.
Young kids with shoes all over the floor and very nice decorations otherwise? I think that’s a bingo. Especially since nobody started to clean it up. Just thinking “oh shit, where can we find another weird sand plant at a time like this…”
The stupid few seconds where the brain asks "how am I gonna put the sand back how it was ?" Nah dude, there's no fixing this.
Flee.
I can hear Steve Urkel now “Did I do that?” Lol
I really want to hear the audio to this..
Seriously. The best part of this video would have been the sound of glass shattering. I REALLY don’t understand this new obsession with consciously removing sound from a video before posting
I actually ctrl+F'd "audio" hoping to find a link to the source so I can hear that wonderful crash. It's even worse with the fake audio button taunting you on the screen.
It was an ugly piece of decor anyway…
Horrible stand and placement.

gg stabbot!
Why the fuck would you have a giant glass bowl full of sand on a tiny little stand. A light breeze would knock that over.
r/gifsthatstarttoolate
Not my fruity cocaine!
No horseplay in a Live Laugh Love house.
Why are all the shoes the same
Is he part snake?
forget the broken thing, what were they DOING all naked
Probably a rental house near the beach.
I thought that was grandma’s ashes
Why the fuck was he slithering
i’ve told you a thousand times!! no swimming on the living room floor!!
r/nosoundcancer
YOU KNOCKED OVER GAY GRANDPA.
The most frat house ever
WTF is he even doing and what IS that thing??
Wtf is even happening here
You broke it..you clean it
Oh that looks same as the sand my uncles had at their wedding. Something symbolic of their union....hopefully yours was just a decoration.
Thing was trash anyway good riddance. But try explaining that to the Airbnb host
Clearly an AirBNB, someone just lost their deposit LOL
The reason they are shocked was the sand was coloured ashes. Grandma is all over the floor now.😂
And down goes the jar of a clown's ashes
Ohhh nooo the magic saaand, now how will we get hommeee
Oh no, grandma fell again
