1. Yes it does!
And I still have the scar all the way up the side of my right hand to prove it.

Hey, I'd hit the same window dozens of times before and it always held up.

4. Some fuckhead painted over a window.
I was trying to close a door in my house. Unbeknownst to me, there was a window in the door. THAT HAD BEEN PAINTED OVER. What kind of an asshole paints over a window.

5. An asshole looking for a lawsuit?
Or just a complete moron. Haven't seen any members of the Bush family hanging around, have you?

2. Don't mix the red pills with alcohol.
I tried to break a window with the wired mesh.. I woke up with a huge mess of blood all over the door and my clothes.. And I fell down a flight of stairs. This is now known in my circle of friends as "pill weekend."

Don't buy a random bag of 50 random pills for 100$ and start eating them...


I'm actually shocked that I survived the shit I did ten years ago.

9. Especially if it's a patio door, and you're holding a beer mug
in that hand. (That one was an accident, not rage, by the way.)

Note to MissU: Yeeeeeouch!

10. It DOES hurt.


And the window is a bitch to replace in winter. But alas, it was all worthwhile, because I DID scare the stupid squirrel off the birdfeeder.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

:thumbsup:

11. A lot depends on whether or not it's
open at the time you put your hand through it!

15. it didn't when I did it, not at first anyway
100 some-odd stitches (inside and out) later, when I'd learned that not only had I flapped my wrist open exposing all the inner workings, I'd cut a total of 7 tendons and 2 nerves, it did.

I have only limited sensation in my right hand as a result. Hot hurts, cold hurts, and every surface feels like silk, and I mean, gravel, sandpaper, rough steel, etc...

17. Didn't bother me
Had to put my hand through a window after I managed to lock myself out of a house in the middle of winter.
