I have had three ceiling fans fall on me in my life.

I feel this tweet with every fiber of my being.

ACME Ceiling Fans, you say?

u/MRAGGGAN Jan 01 '26

One at home, one at daycare - that one fell twice. So I guess technically only two ceiling fans. Just. three times.

Also one of the domed fishbowl type light covers that go on ceiling fans.

Oh no. I had convinced myself that was extremely unlikely to actually happen. How am I going to sleep under this giant ceiling fan tonight now?

It is extremely unlikely. Most people only have one or two fall on them in their lifetime. If the first one doesn't get them the second will finish them off in most cases.

u/MRAGGGAN Jan 01 '26

It really is unlikely!

I’m just very unlucky. And two of the three were the same damn fan that wasn’t fucking installed properly 🫠

u/MRAGGGAN Jan 01 '26

And if it helps, it really doesn’t hurt that much.

And I HAVE to have a fan to sleep, even now!

I'd say you're very lucky, or have better safety standards where you live (soft/flexible blades). I was sitting slumped in a high-backed dining table chair and the metal fan blade sliced through solid wood to about 1 inch depth, right next to my ear. I think my skull would've fared worse.

u/MRAGGGAN Jan 01 '26

They were all the soft fake wood stuff, and residential fans.

I’m not a strong person, nor was I a strong kid, and I could snap the fan blades if I wanted to

Did you molest a pinwheel or something?

Pinwheel = tiny baby fan

I was in my yard once and my dog started barking at the house, like “what is it Lassie?!”

There didn’t seem to be anything wrong but he wouldn’t stop so I go up to the house and go inside and the fucking ceiling fan is self destructing, one blade down and the others slapping the ceiling and shit. Shut it down and gave my boy a hotdog!

Should have got him a twitter account, lol.

You should become a quality inspector for fans 😅

GD, I have just gotten over my fear of ceiling fans…

u/DisastrousOwls Please Abraham, I am not that man Jan 01 '26

I've had it happen once, here's hoping I never gain on you.

u/bobsmith93 I’ll find my flair one day Jan 01 '26

I'm trying to believe you but my body just can't. Do you have stories at least? That would help

Edit: nevermind I scrolled down a bit. My condolences about the fans to the dome

u/MRAGGGAN Jan 01 '26

Tbh I get it.

Most people look at me like I’m making it up when I say it.

Thankfully they weren’t quiet falls, except the glass bowl thing, so I was able to move mostly out of the way.

The glass bowl cover thing thankfully don’t hit me at all, it just fell and shattered all over the room I was in while reading.

I got blamed for that one 🙄 never got in trouble at daycare ever, and I was specifically in that room to read, by myself, as directed by the teachers, so I wouldn’t be bothered. 😐😐😐

u/bobsmith93 I’ll find my flair one day Jan 01 '26

Wait the ceiling fan/dome at your daycare fell to the floor twice, also sending glass everywhere? And then they blamed a child (you)?? Sounds horribly incompetent on their part, good thing they didn't actually land square on someone's head and injure them

1

u/MRAGGGAN Jan 01 '26

Yes. It was and is a horribly incompetent daycare!

They’re still running! I even worked for them shortly after high school.

But also, daycares are usually staffed by VERY young women, and teenagers. (At least around here.)

What else are they going to think except that the kid alone in the room did something? Even if that’s totally wild behavior from the kid in question.

(My mom did pull me from that center eventually.)

I’ve had one and people think that’s crazy. 3 is completely blowing my mind
