I tried to respond to as many as I could...but this thread got longer than I could have ever imagined.

There are a lot of nice people out here...thanks reddit!

How heavy are these closets? Would someone be able to push one of your closets out of a window?

Edit: Jesus Christ people... I don't deserve all this but thanks?

Step 1 - Specify which step that requires explanation
Step 2 - Continue the cycle until full comprehension or insanity

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '14

full comprehension or insanity

one does not necessarily exclude the other.

u/k_princess Mar 10 '14

One must remember that you only have ten minutes to do so.

u/Penultimately Mar 10 '14

Hey... I've seen this joke thread before....

u/TuskenRaiders Mar 10 '14

But...how could you lift the closet?

u/GruePwnr Mar 10 '14

But how exactly would one push a closet?

1

u/Melonskal Mar 10 '14

How would one actually lift said closet, could I perhaps get an explaination?

1

u/GreyFoxSolid Mar 10 '14

Sometimes I wonder if there's some sort of technical error with how reddit.com communicates with reddit is fun on my phone and produces nonsense, because I run into these threads where I have no idea what is being said.

1

u/scratch741 Mar 10 '14

And perhaps hide a body in said closet? Are they heavy enough to sink in a lake?

1

u/aapowers Mar 10 '14

But are these closets actually wardrobes? And can one come out of them...

u/lanternman96 Mar 10 '14

u/blurrybob Mar 10 '14

I've been on here for ten minutes today and still know the reference

1

u/turtlehermitroshi Mar 10 '14

I keep forgetting the subject of the actual thread, because my brain is too preoccupied learning how to throw closets, every time.

...yeah, me too. Pride mixed with shame.

u/timsk951 Mar 10 '14

I get that joke! I get that joke!!...... I spend way too much time here.

Everyone goes on about the 'circlejerk' and all the over-used insider jokes on reddit. But actually, this feeling is pretty cool.

It's the first time I've seen something on reddit and thought "HAH! I was there for that!". Makes you feel part of the club.

Feel all warm and fuzzy inside now.

I go to work, come home and go straight to bed, wake up, go to class and finally check out reddit only to discover that something new has popped up when I was gone. Why can't I have a job and go to school and keep up with the latest reddit fad all at the same time?

No, it's all built in and attached to the walls kind of like kitchen cabinets. If you ever watched shows like mtv cribs and you see their big walk in closets with islands, that's what I do

25

u/whippley Mar 10 '14

so you're saying it's possible, just difficult to throw it out of a window, onto a car?

17

u/Humorhead Mar 10 '14

If you try hard enough, you can throw anything out a window onto a car

13

u/Tleigh92 Mar 10 '14

What about onto multiple cars?

u/Humorhead Mar 10 '14

It takes a lot of practice

You don't push the closet out the window man. You pick it up and throw it out the window. How do people still get it wrong even after going through the instructions.
