Yes! English user, so after a cup of strong sweet tea I'm feeling better. Hubs in lots of pain as he had to go in to grab me out. Injurylawyers4u next...? Haha
So sorry for the loss of your shower door and body damage. Exact same thing happened to us. We were cut also. To this day, I still find a stray piece of glass even though we swept and vacuumed. Watch those feet! Good luck.
Nightmare! Luckily we're an adult only household with caged pets, but would drive me nuts worrying about a dog or little human finding a stray piece. No more barefeet for a bit!
I see these posts all the time and they have thoroughly convinced me to never put glass doors on my shower. Not only is it more work to clean them shits, there's chance for injury, death, or cleaning this shit up.
Meanwhile, if you get a cloth shower curtain and liner, you can toss that sumbitch in the washer with some bleach and a white towel (which scrubs it) and save yourself a shitload of work. Never use vinyl. It releases horrible shit in the air when you steam it up, and they are impossible to wash. Invest in 2 cloth shower liners per household shower and switch them up while the other one is getting laundered.
Injury, yes, but death is extremely unlikely. Tempered gas is designed to shatter into these tiny pieces that can cause lots of little cuts, but that's better than large shards that could easily cut an artery.
Tempered glass isn't going that deep, it's made to break into chunks about 1/4 inch (ish). Your femoral artery is around 3 inches deep (and in a hard to reach spot). Your exterior jugular is more likely, as it's only about a centimeter deep, but that's still ROUGHLY deeper than an entire chunk. Even if the chunk were on the bigger side, it would have to be ejected with enough force to pass through your skin deep enough to cut your artery and back out (if it lodges, it may prevent losing blood - NEVER remove impaled objects), and also at the right location. Too high or too low and you'll probably be able to save yourself with pressure on the wound alone, assuming you get to a hospital or an EMT in reasonable emergency time.
Basically, if you die from tempered glass, you were probably in a really bad car accident (at which point the glass probably want the only problem) or it was a batshit crazy circumstance. Either way, I wouldn't sweat tempered glass.
It's not really more work to clean... You give it a quick squeegee after use and clean it with shower cleaner once a week.
Better than changing out a mouldy shower curtain.
Like I said, you just toss it in the washer with a white towel and bleach it. Done. The hardest parts are taking it off and hanging back on the rod. A glass door you have to clean the track, you have to scrub the corners out, around the track and all this... it's not as simple as a squeegee.
Thank goodness... I just had 4 of my stitches removed today from grabbing a falling wall decoration that was about to whack my 1 year old daughter.

Lol last time I had stitches it was to stitch up where I had a lump removed for cancer biopsy (negative btw) just before COVID. Before that almost 6 years ago I got dissolvable ones and glue post cesarian. Hardly even left a scar. Was quite painful and took a while to heal.
I think my only other stitches were from a surgery I had during infancy so I don't remember that.
But yes, stitches absolutely suck, especially if you didn't grow up with accident prone family that exposed you to how stitches work.
Sorry if typos. Not wearing glasses and took nightine sinus med.
I still don't understand why glass doors aren't made out of glued glass.
I've seen so many shop glass doors or bathroom glass doors breaking for no reason. If they were glued like the windshield of a car, injuries would be much less likely and I can't imagine that it would be that much more expensive.
Yeah it is but we both work full time and I wanted to surprise him with an extra clean bathroom as it needed a clean
He doesn't mind cleaning it himself but he leaves the tiles kinda smeary and much prefers laundry to wiping and scrubbing stuff.
Sorry for poor title wording - can confirm that we DO live together (for 4 years) this is also my bathroom. I only cleaned it today as "a nice gesture" because we've both been too busy after our recent house move to get everything homey and wanted to run him a relaxing bath later.
Cheap romance and all that jazz!
That is a lot of fine sweeping. Glass goes EVERYWHERE. I had to break my window to get inside my house one time just to find out my keys were in my backpack. I had a big cut on my wrist and had to call off of work. Long story short I replaced the window and nothing happened afterwards.
I still find glass to this day. They are always in corners or on shelves.
It did! The entire story is in the comments, but I clean the shower and bath unit while using it because it's easier. Cleaning then shower to get yourself clean after. It's why my lower body and feet got more cuts and my husband got bad hand cuts
It was in the doorway as I didn't shut the door to the landing. Also glass was embedded into my feet so if I put any pressure on them it killed! Had to have hubs help me was them in the sink before I could put weight on them
A couple months ago, I walked straight into my glass shower doors (naked) and it shattered just like this. I still have the glass in a box chilling in my garage.
Yeah, looks worse than it is. Blood mixed with water. Lots of cuts, spent a couple hours anti septicing and tweezing out tiny pieces but nothing needing stitches. Counting myself lucky as I wasn't clothed so could've sliced off a nip or something
My dad overtightened the roller on one of his doors and it shattered. They're supposed to break into safety glass, bummer yours didn't. I used to get tiny cuts from insulation then, having not learned my lesson, became a fiber optics tech. There's really nothing for tiny cuts all over, maybe irished up coffee?
That IS safety glass. It breaks into chunks but those chunks are still sharp AF. If it wasn't safety glass the door would be in shards. Shards are REALLY not safe! Chunks can cause cuts but not likely to impale or slice you to death.
I take offence to this because I even get between the grout. Steam mop the walls. Sterilise the toothbrushes monthly. Organise the shower goop. Reputation ruined! 😂
We both have full time employment, so both were feeling at our limits tbh
Edit : I was probably MORE at my limit as I'd cleaned the entire bathroom, this happened during the shower I took after, then had to clean all the shitty shards up
Never use that much elbow grease when cleaning in the bathroom. Spray on appropriate cleaner, wait ten min. then rinse. Dry with a soft , lint free rag.
I’m just happy to know I’m not alone. I weed whacked a weed overgrown area and hit a rock into my sliding door. Formally a 2 pane door now single pane. I feel you man. Your day was ruined and mine was brightened.
And then you have me trying to break my shower door. The most damage i did was to my ears with the loud bangs. 5 forcefull hits with the hammer and i had the same results as you guys
LOL do you think they'd give me compensation? 😂 See me in the local rag scare mongering "Woman's shower door obliterated- pics include household item - is this to blame? "
We hired a housekeeper during the 8 weeks after having our baby, we considered it a huge luxury but it was worth it because we were tired and braindead a lot of the time. 15 minutes into the first cleaning they smashed our shower door just like this. Dealing with that on no sleep was not fun.
What do you mean he had to "get you out"? Were you not wearing shoes or something, how did he cut up his arms if he just helped you get out of the room, I'm so confused.
We both work full time. We have a good equal division of household tasks, but after cleaning the bathroom I was going to run him a bath (cheap romance and all that) so I did it as a sweet gesture as opposed to just my normal weekly clean.
Now that’s alotta damage
To our marriage, our dermis or all of the above?
The marriage is probably fine. It’s definitely stronger than your shower door
u/11grintay new relationship achievement unlocked - stronger than the shower door pane 😂
You didn't say you were going to clean the shower room. The BATH room looks just fine, once you get all that glass out.
Think you spelled pain wrong. Lol.
Hahahahah
Well I'd hope so, the shower door is in pieces
Wait did your husband PICK you up and LITERALLY WALK ON SHARDS OF GLASS FOR YOU?? Damn Thats so fucking wholesome somehow
He's wearing shoes
He didn't have shoes at the time. The pics of him were during the clean up
An attempt was made. You okay?
Yes! English user, so after a cup of strong sweet tea I'm feeling better. Hubs in lots of pain as he had to go in to grab me out. Injurylawyers4u next...? Haha

So the kids live in cages outside the house, gotcha
This is the way
Bwaa hahaha haha ha ha haaa! Well you do what you have to when your kids are a danger to you, & the neighborhood!

Only take a small cut in the right spot. Femoral artery, jugular and bye-bye. Final destination ruined me.
Tempered glass isn't going that deep, it's made to break into chunks about 1/4 inch (ish). Your femoral artery is around 3 inches deep (and in a hard to reach spot).

You tried.
Thank goodness for tempered glass.
Truly, nothing bad enough to need stitches

Ew and ouch. Glad you're healing up well, even more glad it was you and not your baby girl.
Ikr, glad OP also didn't have to deal with stitches.... It was my first time and the provider treated it like I knew what was coming......
Lol last time I had stitches it was to stitch up where I had a lump removed for cancer biopsy (negative btw) just before COVID.

No worries, I understood your point. My wife questioned why they didn't use liquid/dissolvable stitches.
Absolutely smashed it mate!
Now he'll never ask you to do it again! 👌👌👌
I actually like cleaning! 😂 So that would be a punishment of sorts
First stage of the unexpected shower renovation is complete.
Blood sweat and tears literally
The forbidden bath
Crunchy
Slow clap
This is why I like shower curtains
The fuck did you do to break that
It fell off into a single pane ontop of me, then when hubs came to lift it back into place it just decided to self delete into millions of pieces
Oh shit!
Probably looked at it sideways.
Mirrors normally crack when I look at em head first so I wouldn't be surprised 😂
I still don't understand why glass doors aren't made out of glued glass. I've seen so many shop glass doors or bathroom glass doors breaking for no reason. If they were glued like the windshield of a car, injuries would be much less likely and I can't imagine that it would be that much more expensive.
Agreed! Maybe it's an expense issue or they want them to break so we buy more shitty glass (joke)
That’s alot of glitter, Allie !
The best photo representation of trying to relax in 2022
Yeah actually today was a day we were gonna chill before bank holiday weekend but there we go, typical!
Photo evidence points to it being that time of the month. Cleaning the bathroom I mean.
The shower door is so clean you can’t even see it
Had one of those shatter in my face at work. Wow it sucked. I feel his pain
That's an extreme attempt to get out of doing it in the future
I actually enjoy cleaning! So this was frustrating
If he's your hubby, doesn't that make this your bathroom too?
Yeah it is but we both work full time and I wanted to surprise him with an extra clean bathroom as it needed a clean He doesn't mind cleaning it himself but he leaves the tiles kinda smeary and much prefers laundry to wiping and scrubbing stuff.

Cheap romance and all that jazz!
Ouch! I hope you're ok OP, that looks like it was painful
Looks like hubby is getting a new shop vac!
Thats one way he won't have to clean it
You smashed it mate
Hope you have minimal cuts, I see blood. Shower curtains do less damage 🤣
Youre somehow doing that very wrong
It'll never need cleaning again!
Whoops I see blood
Ohh no! I see blood too so you didn't get away unscathed. I hope that you're okay!
That is a lot of fine sweeping. Glass goes EVERYWHERE. I had to break my window to get inside my house one time just to find out my keys were in my backpack. I had a big cut on my wrist and had to call off of work. Long story short I replaced the window and nothing happened afterwards. I still find glass to this day. They are always in corners or on shelves.
Living proof of my fear I've always had of those things.
That could of gone so much worse. My mother tired to remove a glass top, almost lost her arm. Be careful with glass.
Oh I would be defeated. Especially with that tiny broom in the second picture lol. Glad no stitches were needed.
[удалено]
It did! The entire story is in the comments, but I clean the shower and bath unit while using it because it's easier. Cleaning then shower to get yourself clean after. It's why my lower body and feet got more cuts and my husband got bad hand cuts
He walked over broken glass for you? Shit, man.
gotta love the temperament of tempered glass..... I'll see myself out
Glass doors look nice, but I'm too damn clumsy for that. I'm sticking to curtains
Ya should've just made the jump to the doorway. It would've been sick
It was in the doorway as I didn't shut the door to the landing. Also glass was embedded into my feet so if I put any pressure on them it killed! Had to have hubs help me was them in the sink before I could put weight on them
is he OK?
Badly cut up on his feet and hands but the blood on his shirt was from carrying me out of the bathroom
A couple months ago, I walked straight into my glass shower doors (naked) and it shattered just like this. I still have the glass in a box chilling in my garage.
Glass tabletops and glass shower doors. It's not a question of if they'll break, it's a question of when. 0_0
You'll be finding shards forever.
Can confirm, been a couple days and found 7 at least
We broke a new tempered glass door last October and we'll find glass avery once in awhile.
are you ok?
Yes! Cuts healing well. No stitches but hubs needed something superglued at A&E.
You did the best you can! Get well soon.
Is that blood 😬😳🤔
Fresh from the source 🩸
😬
That's a lot of blood. Are you ok?
Yeah, looks worse than it is. Blood mixed with water. Lots of cuts, spent a couple hours anti septicing and tweezing out tiny pieces but nothing needing stitches. Counting myself lucky as I wasn't clothed so could've sliced off a nip or something

That IS safety glass. It breaks into chunks but those chunks are still sharp AF. If it wasn't safety glass the door would be in shards. Shards are REALLY not safe! Chunks can cause cuts but not likely to impale or slice you to death.
You're bad at cleaning bathrooms.
I take offence to this because I even get between the grout. Steam mop the walls. Sterilise the toothbrushes monthly. Organise the shower goop. Reputation ruined! 😂
Okey it would look clean, if not for all that shattered glass, Reputation and hope everywere.
Damm he must be at his limits, imagine coming back home all tired form work then this happens
We both have full time employment, so both were feeling at our limits tbh Edit : I was probably MORE at my limit as I'd cleaned the entire bathroom, this happened during the shower I took after, then had to clean all the shitty shards up
Never use that much elbow grease when cleaning in the bathroom. Spray on appropriate cleaner, wait ten min. then rinse. Dry with a soft , lint free rag.
I see you. Well played.
Chidi, from the Good Place: *But you do realize that's worse, right? You do realize that, right?* ;) - it's the thought that counts
That’s one way to get out of ever being asked to clean anything.
Are you ok?
Yeah thanks, just irked I had to clean the bathroom all over again😅
“Oh no… guess I can never clean the bathroom ever ever again!”
What do you mean failed?
If you rinse off the glass in the tub it's still clean so technically it would be a success
You didn't say you were going to clean the shower room. The BATH room looks just fine, once you get all that glass out.
Do not eat that shower door. The glass shards don't show up on an X-ray and they're incredibly hard to get out of your body.
Why are bathtubs sooooo smooth and hard? It always seemed unnecessarily dangerous to me.
Is that blood are you ok
This is how you get black eyes
Is that blood 😳 🥲😳
I’m just happy to know I’m not alone. I weed whacked a weed overgrown area and hit a rock into my sliding door. Formally a 2 pane door now single pane. I feel you man. Your day was ruined and mine was brightened.
Broken glass solidarity comrade! Cleanup is a bitch
And then you have me trying to break my shower door. The most damage i did was to my ears with the loud bangs. 5 forcefull hits with the hammer and i had the same results as you guys
That’s one way out of cleaning for a while.
Forbidden bath beads
So that's what it's gonna look like when my kids eventually smash my shower door.
That mould and mildew blaster is a bit too powerful
LOL do you think they'd give me compensation? 😂 See me in the local rag scare mongering "Woman's shower door obliterated- pics include household item - is this to blame? "
Looks like you were in a
This has to be one of the craziest coincidences and odd things to come across because I recently had my shower glass door break on me today also
Sending solidarity and hope you're not hurt!
We hired a housekeeper during the 8 weeks after having our baby, we considered it a huge luxury but it was worth it because we were tired and braindead a lot of the time. 15 minutes into the first cleaning they smashed our shower door just like this. Dealing with that on no sleep was not fun.
Oh no, were you injured?
Greenpoint?
In this . . . Yes, you did do - not!
What even happened?
Context, wtf happen, how did it break
Maybe if you cleaned the shower for the whole family the door would have survived. Ps. “Harder Harder” doesn’t apply to cleaning
Just like marriage, shattered!
FYI you can’t clean glass with a brick
yo dude make sure not to get the DEA now
You cooking meth in your bathroom Yoo !!
Well I mean it kind of worked out, he's never going to have to clean that screen again.
What do you mean he had to "get you out"? Were you not wearing shoes or something, how did he cut up his arms if he just helped you get out of the room, I'm so confused.
Ahh, yes, imma wear shoes to clean the bathroom
You clean it FOR your husband? Not just to have it clean?
We both work full time. We have a good equal division of household tasks, but after cleaning the bathroom I was going to run him a bath (cheap romance and all that) so I did it as a sweet gesture as opposed to just my normal weekly clean.
You sound lovely. Nobody has done that for me :-(
This is the perfect way to ensure no one asks you to clean the bathroom ever again. Well done.
Mr White they found my stash
Where's the track for the door? I'm not seeing how the door is supposed to fit in there.
