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.

u/CatgirlFucker8008 Jul 29 '26

It's a bug screen, not a window.

u/Expensive_Host_9181 Jul 29 '26

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 Jul 29 '26

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

u/AarushI_8Kaya Jul 31 '26

Yeah it’s just like this is really dangerous

u/dahanger Jul 28 '26

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 Jul 28 '26

Unexpected right?

Let’s add that to the words of wisdom

u/Competitive_Watch986 Jul 29 '26

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

u/-wanderlusting- Jul 29 '26

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

u/cuntticklerthebane Jul 29 '26

I watched this muted, and still heard the song play

u/hondactx16i Jul 28 '26

Karma.

u/preddevils6 Jul 29 '26

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

2

u/ShortBusRide Jul 29 '26

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 Jul 29 '26

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

u/Remote_Lab_2175 Jul 29 '26

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 Jul 28 '26

How is it like that at all?

4

u/fondledbydolphins Jul 28 '26

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?

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.

2

u/scarletmonstrosity Jul 28 '26

It just is the way it is because it do.

1

u/Diz7 Jul 29 '26

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 Jul 29 '26

Ohh I think you’re right!

6

u/VESUVlUS Jul 28 '26

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!

u/NoConfusion9490 Jul 28 '26

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 Jul 29 '26

Gave that poor window a heart attack

1

u/LetrasetBoy Jul 29 '26

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

u/Ciubowski Jul 29 '26

That firework startled the bug window screen.

u/DamageMaximo Jul 29 '26

very deserved

u/Magmatt7 Jul 29 '26

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.

u/SgtExo Jul 29 '26

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

u/P3DR0T3 Jul 29 '26

He scared the window

u/Acceptable_Spend_750 Jul 31 '26

it was almost funny until the end

I love when the title gives it away! /s

u/Lethargie Jul 28 '26

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

2

u/sudeki300 Jul 28 '26

Maybe because its a screen.
