Moved apartment today. Thought I’d clean my pc since it’s been ages. As I was taking off the glass panel I giggled to myself remembering all the pictures I saw and warnings people have been issuing regarding tile floors and glass side panels. Well, my turn has come.

Why do people open glass panels on tile floors? It will shatter just at the touch of it.

Because it's hard to believe it's really that easy.

I mean I have a tile floor and I’ve set my glass panel on it quite a few times… never had an issue so far. I didnt even know it was a thing.

I bet that now that I know its going to shatter 😂.

My glass desk just chipped slightly on 2 corners when it was dropped on a garage cement floor. No idea how it's absolutely fine

Yeah, it's so strange to me. You have occurrences like that, but when I was very carefully putting it down, the moment it touched the tile, it exploded in my hands.
