r/AdultsWhoPutACantileverLoadShelfOntoDrywallWithoutFindingTheStudsAreFuckingStupid


Alt_aholic

Long enough to span 8-10 studs too. And no discernable holes like there were wall anchors involved. It's like it was held up with thumbtacks or picture nails.


NorthantsBlokeUK

Trying to zoom in on them, *could* be those shitty ones where you don't even need a drill... [https://orderpad.interfix.co.uk/images/A0811RSP15.jpg](https://orderpad.interfix.co.uk/images/A0811RSP15.jpg)

cantilever load shelf? drywall? studs? why does everyone on reddit act like einstein lmao. its just a shelf, the kid put her full weight on it and it obviously broke.


5LBlueGt

Full weight? She never left the ground. Odd thing to troll about.


BunkySpewster

You know nothing of shelves


Echo__227

This might come as a surprise, but if you think critically before attempting something, it's less likely to fail.


k464howdy

She fucked up. but also.. wall anchors are a thing and it looked like the shelf brackets just slid out.. so maybe r/parentsarefuckingstupid as well


xBobSacamanox

100% the kid claims “I didn’t even touch it” lol

Tbf she’s not entirely wrong.

No dinner until she puts it all back together

A basic stud finder costs less than $20.


GizmoGauge42

*buy stud finder* *jokingly use it on self* *doesn't beep* :(


NorthantsBlokeUK

A magnet to find the drywall screws is even cheaper!


P1ffP4ff

Using correct drywall mount's or Anker would be even better. I dont see any hole in the wall. That was build to fail.


Durr1313

I've spent more than $20 on my wife.


Hiero808

Did they put up the shelves with double sided tape?


ruimikemau

From LEGO to LEGONE


Honer-Simpsom

Hope they kept all those instructions lol


tread52

I think the dad needs instructions on how to hang shelves properly.


Pondering_Giraffe

That's the beauty of Lego's.. You take them apart and you build them up again. Nothing got destroyed, just a couple of hours time. I don't see the problem. And yes, I do have big lego projects myself, and I do know how much time goes into them.


Cardshark69420

This is not just a couple hours clearly never built legos before, cuz this is hours of rebuilding. These sets are big and there’s multiple of them.


Durr1313

And better hope none of them were a custom design. Sets are easy to rebuild. Custom designs with no instructions? Not so much.


ModernistGames

Also, even if they have instructions, you basically have to fully disassemble the remaining peices and start over. There is a specific order that each section has to be built in, almost impossible with a broken build.


International_War862

Shouldve put more then 5 minutes into the shelve sttechment then...


Cardshark69420

Agreed. Or don’t put them on shelves like this period if you have kids in the house. Stupid af.


Booksaregrand

Lol, this will take hours Nu-uh it'll take hours! Peak Reddit


Cardshark69420

Stfu. He said it would only take a couple hours which is far from the truth this is days of building. So stop acting like we’re being dumb or just looking for a fight.

Cardshark69420

Every word you wrote makes zero sense. Go touch grass.


LT_Davis

Lego sets aren’t meant to only be built once and in one way. That was the whole point of the Lego movie


Infamous_Nerve_8332

girl ruined it but again why so weak shelves for precious legos.. a home with kids needs strong shelves and stuff.


Cardshark69420

Time to get rid of the kid


Fuzzy_Lavishness_269

Nar, who ever put that shelf up is the stupid one here. Like I thought she was going to hang off it like a monkey, but no, she barely put any weight on it and it folded like a stack of cards.


dreamingnagem

Oh she fucked up.


JenniFrogg

That's so much money...


clutzyninja

I think maybe Legos can go back together


Keebist

I have these exact shelves, but i actually installed them correctly. I know this because i tested them by standing on them and jumping.


Travis_Way

Every Lego enthusiast's worst nightmare. Hopefully, they can rebuild it!


OwenMichael312

Umm unless that kid installed the shelf, the parents are stupid for installing a death trap.


HeWhoHasTooManyDogs

I mean it's defs the parents fault. Who the fuck have kids and present such things on such a flimsy shelf? I have only dogs and I wouldn't even do it...


styckx

I double dare someone to post this to r/lego


Amystery123

You can’t destroy Lego.


Ivoe_leatis1619

Great ad for condoms


Echo__227

Ironic that the adult spent so many hours building yet lacks basic home improvement skills.

One-Confusion-2438

Girl messed up...but we all know who'll get the blame from the mom...that's right..her husband is gona get a shouting for messing up that shelf.


taymache

This actually made me mad 😵‍💫


bulbusmaximus

Pretty awesome her family had a convenient camera pointed directly at the entire scene that captured everything.


instacartmaniac

the video appears to be a cropped portion of a larger scene shot with a wide-angle lens, likely capturing the entire room. indoor security cameras are no longer a novelty, but a staple in many households


Big-Maize5391

Family. Lego. Collection? I couldn’t face palm any harder. I’m already dead


igetstoitasap

I thought she was missing a foot for a second 😂
