True story.

Tuesday night I hit the glass shade on my bedroom ceiling fan, shattering it. Had to pick up and vacuum glass all over my bed and floor.

Last night, I baked some fish in the oven. I ate the fish (cajun-rubbed salmon for the record), washed the dishes, then while taking out the trash heard a *pop* and what sounded like water spilling. Walked back into my kitchen to find that the entire glass door to the oven had spontaneously shattered into a million pieces- onto my kitchen floor, adjoining studio room and dining room. I googled it. Apparently it's a thing, which makes me wonder why in hell they still make ovens with glass doors. Had to pick up and vacuum glass all over the floors.

So you're wondering why I'm sharing this story on ecf?
Tonight, about 30 minutes ago, I was getting ready to go to a friend's house. I had a stardust on my zmax and before leaving, stopped myself and said "you should put on your Protank because it looks awesome and it will make you look awesome". Gleaming Protank atop my zmax, I strutted forward three steps before I dropped it and shattered the tank. Had to pick up and vacuum glass all over the floor.

I've locked myself in the closet where I'm writing this now.

I have a Dalmatian who seems convicted to breaking my glass tanks. He walks past my coffee table and 'noses' all my devices that have glass tanks attached. If there's just a carto, he tends to let them stand. As of this date (knocking on the wood of the coffee table) he has yet to break one tank. I have three ProTanks and three carto tanks and still have not broken anything. You do seem to have a glass curse going on. I suggest you sit in that closet and pray for forgiveness from the glass god!

I was the man, did all kinds of daring do stunts with my glass tanked mod in hand. I was carefree and foot loose, I laughed in the face of danger, me and my glass tanks were invincible! Then in one day I managed to brake 2 protanks, an IB Tank and a zap....ok it was more like 36 hours but it was still a crushing blow. If you like protanks I can attest to the indestructibility of the Tatroe tanks...

Day 4. Everything seems okay so far; hopefully the rule of threes will prove true. I bought canned beer last night instead of bottles and plan to only use sippy cups today as my liquid sustenance delivery system. I did catch the living room window giving me worried looks this morning and my other Protank has apparently absconded in fear. It seems I must now follow the slow road to gaining my household glass's trust back; a difficult task but my resolve is strong.

A lot more people are doing that now. They can legally marry in a few states. Lolz

oooh NOW I get it. I woke up in the closet this morning, did a quick self check to find that I had made it through the night with no further glass shattering. In a state of relief and joy, I emerged and proudly proclaimed I AM OUT OF THE CLOSET whereupon my wife gave me a strange, puzzled, contemptuous look which also seemed to express something like "I knew it all the time", packed a suitcase and left. I figured she was just staying over at her friends as extra precaution from the glass thing but now I'm thinking otherwise.

I have seriously had days like yours...sorry for your losses...but in light of everything this is a funny thread. I keep eying all of those trippy glass drip tips and various other glass doo-hickies for my pv but know I will never have one of them due to my clumsiness. :oops:
For that same reason all of our drinking glasses in this house are plastic, except two pretty wine glasses that I keep wrapped and in a box shoved away that only get pulled out for special occasions. :facepalm:
As an extra precaution you could bubble wrap the heck out of all the other breakables in the house just to be safe....:lol:
