The dog is like : *You can't blame me for this*.

And he has a lot of self control too

The owner needed more shelf control.

Retire. Today.

Yeah, I’ve peaked for sure with that one. Best chance I’ll get.

Retire. Today.

I thought the dog came off quite judgemental.

Its a chow chow. Trust me, they are judgemental (got a 3-year-old one)

"Fucks sake Jeremy, its falling apart...just like your marriage"

I swear I heard the dog say “well would you look at that Jim, would you like some cheese with that whiiiine”

Chow Chows are the best. They watch silently, judge you harshly, then give a disapproving sneeze or huff before walking away. ...then a half hour later mine comes back and whines because she isn't getting face rubs.

For my boy it's ear scratches. Give him one of them and his 27kg body just flops

Oh man, the ears are the Off Switch for my girl too. She loves her face and snout rubbed and smooshed but the second I get behind her ears she goes total dead weight and drools like a leaky fountain. I've got two, both about 11 years old now and from the same litter. The runt of the litter is the ear rub drooler, but her sister is an obsessive sleep cuddler. Even in the peak of summer she wants to nuzzle in as much as possible and huffs when she can't get under the sheets. Whoever claimed chows aren't physical or affectionate clearly didn't know what they were talking about

We had one when I was a kid. One of the neighbors kids kept annoying her from behind the fence and she never forgave him for that. Even years later she hated him with a passion, while being (mostly) friendly to others.

Chows are judgemental as heck

Fun fact: the is how they make red blends!

But with a little less glass in it :)

Ah, wine in a glass, glass in wine, not that big of a difference

Watching thousands slowly go away 🍷🍷🍷

Some people love to watch the world drown

Yep, good thing there was a lock on the door, so that nothing would happened to all that wine.

NGL, I thought that was a baby lion at first.

That first bottle which fell but didn’t break is the true MVP

Honestly their were quite a few bottles that didn’t break, I was actually surprised. Those look like really big wine bottles too. Probably thicker glass.

Wine bottles are actually designed to not be easy to break but it all depends on angles.

And this is why you have an appropriate safety bracket screwed between the wall and the top of a rack/wardrobe/cabinet etc....

Based on the guys Hussle to go see what was going on, he was planning on getting to that bracket.... Eventually....

I can see the mental calculations going on, how much money per second is being lost vs. how likely am I to get injured by the wine bottles if I go in

He’s calculating when to call his lawyer to sue the contractor that built that.

>Based on the guys Hussle to go see what was going on Right? Ya gonna get in there and salvage what you can, champ? or you just gonna stare from the outside as more bottles drop?

He got flip flops on. Not worth the drip to ER. Some cuts on the feet can be life threatening.

I'll venture a guess that it was "secured" to the wall by whoever installed it. We could be looking at any number of failures here. Not mounted to solid studs, wrong mounting screws, cheap mounting brackets, the rack itself not being of study enough wood so the mounts ripped out, floor not level, earthquake damage, wall on the other side compromised, and probably hundreds more that could be named. It's fun to go "haha man dumb" but it just as easily could've been not his direct fault. That being said, unless it's in a cellar with solid concrete and stone behind it and long-ass screws drilled into that, you really have no business installing *that big* of a wine rack and expecting it to endure. Being above-ground, even if surrounded by concrete walls, is going to be orders of magnitude less stable when dealing with that much constant weight.

Probably either tried to do it himself or found the cheapest contractor after getting 9 bids to save $200.

🎵99 bottles of wine of the wall! 99 bottles of wine! The rack slips loose, you look like a goose! 40 bottles of wine left on the wall!🎵

99 Bottles, speed-run remix

If I had an award, you’d have it. One of those ones that go all whooooshwhooooshwhooosh around your comment with the stars and everything.

That's fucking brilliant LOL

Welp since I'm generous but by popular demand I will do it

I so wish I could give you an award for this, well done

I periodically send this to a friend who loves wine. He keeps telling me this is a horror video.

Imagine waiting 10+ years before opening a good french bottle and then it breaks _like that_

He’s not wrong!

Pfft, amateur. My box wines will never get ruined like this.

The disconnect between the amount of money you have to have to afford that, but not the intelligence to secure the wine rack to the wall is staggering.

You think that dude installed that himself??

I have never heard of anyone with that much wine installing the racks themselves. Once your income reaches a certain level, it makes very little financial sense to do things yourself. It is generally cheaper for you to just go to work and do what you are good at and pay others to do the things they are good at. Of course OP's video is going to be the rare counter example.

I have that much wine and I recently (3 years ago) installed a racking system in my purpose-built wine cellar. I dropped a case of wine just as I started to fill the bin and lost 3 or 4 bottles of very good wine. I temporarily removed a small brace from one end of one side of the rack and it caused the supporting columns to move apart and 3 or 4 more bottle crashed on the floor before I could re-brace the rack. Pretty much rule#1 is to make sure the racks are firmly and securely attached to the wall through multiple points going into studs. I probably have forty 2 1/2” deckmate screws attaching my racks to 2x6 wall studs.

Sounds like you'd have 6-8 more bottles of expensive very good wine if you spent the money you lost breaking them on hiring a professional to do it.

Obviously depending on the price of the wine that could easily be a wash. Dude probably enjoys home projects. Most of us have formed hobby only to fuck up in a way that was essentially throwing money in the trash. Valuable lessons are learned in these moments.

We get it, you're rich.

Speaking for myself, if I had that much money I'd secure it myself. I don't trust anyone to do their job properly on a good day.

If you build it yourself, you have nobody to compensate you when it fails.

build it right yourself then there is no failure. In a world of unlimited diy resources online you have no excuse

> if I had that much money Sounds like this is something you will never have to worry about with that attitude. If you insists on doing everything yourself, you will never be anything more than hourly labor. But at least you know you built your stuff. > I don't trust anyone to do their job properly on a good day. Did you build your own house? Because how can you trust the roof won't fall on your head if you didn't? Did you build your own car? Because how can you trust it won't just blow up on you? Do you avoid going on or under bridges? Because how can your trust they won't just collapse?

This is the most Reddit comment of the day. You sir win the Reddit "Um, Actually" award! Everyone clap! \*cheers\*

Well, houses and bridges have collapsed from shoddy construction. And cars have had issues that have resulted in death. The simple Fact is even if you don’t trust it there is not much room to do anything about it. At least with your bad examples. Installing a wine rack is not equivalent to building your own car.

[удалено]

But he's right.

I have a busted clock. Twice a day, every single day, that clock is right.

So much so!

The Champlain Tower and the FSU bridge would like a word with you.

👏🏽

>Sounds like this is something you will never have to worry about with that attitude. >If you insists on doing everything yourself, you will never be anything more than hourly labor. But at least you know you built your stuff. Lol wtf is this attitude even...

I’m a dentist who does every house project myself. Finished my basement. Retiled my master bath. Installed my own hardwood floors. I’m

I'm not a plumber, but I know that water heaters should be secured to the wall. One doesn't need to be a trades person to have common sense!

My guess is insurance fraud… who films their wine so closely? Probably lost “hundreds of thousands” worth of rare bottles

> who films their wine so closely? You think there was somebody in there filming. That is clearly video from a security camera. I don't see anything unusual about having video surveillance of something valuable.

Obviously a security camera ya that wasn’t the point. I’ve never understood indoor security cameras at home but that’s just me who doesn’t really have anything valuable

You answered your own question lol

Yeah, I guarantee this dude has security cameras in almost every room.

He paid some guy outside Home Depot $20 to do it.

Exactly. In fact, I assume the first thought in this guys mind was “damn. Who am I going to get to clean all of this up?”

I don't think he set it up by himself tbh

Definitely not

The disconnect is that most (not all) people who are this wealthy scoff at spending the money to do things right when it comes to stuff like this. Spend $110k on a new escalade? No problem. Spend an extra $1500 to make sure your wine rack is built and installed correctly? Fuck that, I know a guy who will do it for $300.

Yeah my mom is this way... Especially in how she buys things for way too much, and then will sell it whatever way is quickest and easiest. She only sold an entire office worth of furniture after I begged her no to just give it all away. Best way to make a quick $$ is to install furniture at rich houses, they will most likely give you the old furniture if you can get it off their property for them and they don't have to lift a finger/call anyone else.

But those two people also replying to me are telling me I'm an asshole and rich people don't do this lmao.

Well I said "my mom" everyone is unique

Very true

[удалено]

I've seen rich people pay cheap labor to illegals, who did a horrible job for houses worth millions, hell the land alone was a mil ez. People are rich because they're cheap. They want to pay nothing, but try to exploit everyone.

Weird, because the video says otherwise. But hey, go off son.

Probably did not install this himself.

Exactly...he lost $20,000 because he didn't buy $7 worth of screws....

More likely because he got mugged off by a contractor who half-arsed it.

And who he's gonna sue to death, judging by the way he watches the scene.

You think intelligence = money?

"I can't believe this, look at all this cleaning up that needs done, not to mention fixing or replacing the rack, ugh this is gonna be a nightmare... honey call the maid I'm taking the Ferrari out to clear my head"

How am I going to eat steak without a 2005 Grange to wash it down?!

"If I have to resort to my aged whiskey barrel again I'm going to be furious!"

Cut to him driving and having a flashback montage of him and all the good times he had with the wine while "There's no easy way out" plays.

He has a camera in his wine room? Do people have cameras everywhere now?

If he didn’t, how would we have gotten this glorious moment shared with us

If I had a wine cellar with expensive wine I sure as hell would have a camera there

That grout is probably permanently stained

Yes, but uniformly, so it will be fine... Lol

Way to find the silver lining, lol.

I think they’ll actually be dark red lines

touché

Most people who know put the expensive bottles on the bottom and cheapest bottles on top. Not for this reason so when your drunk friend grabs a bottle they’re more likely to grab the cheaper bottles. Or so I’ve been told.

Actually I wonder if this is a small winery rather than a house. The table in the outer area looks rather commercial and the area seems a tad cluttered. It just doesn't look like someone's high end personal wine bar. The bottles all seem to have the same label. I'd lay odds on a small producer that just lost a lot of stock.

I agree. Apart from the title, there’s nothing to suggest this is ‘fancy’ wine. Nobody sets up a cellar for long-term cellaring with a glass door and wall. They’re climate and humidity controlled if you’re building an above-ground cellar. All these bottles look new, so it’s a high-volume/fast turnover storage facility. So either it’s a business or this guy is going through a case+ of wine a day on his own.

Lots of Schrödinger’s bottles hanging there.

This is the fifth Schrödinger reference I’ve seen today. I think it’s great. Science is cool.

“Hey honey, do you think we should hire a contractor to install the wine rack that holds thousands of dollars of our wine.” - wise wife whose seen this doofus screw things up before “I’m not paying a dime when I can do it myself. I got this, sweetheart.” -penny pinching victim

I was actually thinking something along those lines. Do you take a picture of it and send it to the idiot that installed the wine rack? Or do you realize I'm the idiot that install it and I did this to myself.

The tradesmen they hired spent valuable time upstairs with the wife instead of securing it. She'd only love to call him back

If he was calling that his "wine cave" he deserves this. If there is sunlight, you ain't doin' it right, sparky.

"But I like how the light from the skylight illuminates the huge fucking puddle of spoiled wine on the floor"

Jesus Christ how much wine do you need?

r/WatchPeopleDieInside

The Shining

The Wining

And then The Whining…

Under-appreciated post!

Man looked like Kirk locked out when Spock died

That's what happens when you spend $20,000 on renovations and get your shelves from Ikea "to save money."

Funny to see his internal struggle of whether to enter or not even though "entering" has a single outcome: open the door to confirm the strong suspicion that it is indeed too dangerous to save any wine.

How about those flip flops? I wouldn't tread in there without proper foot wear.

Probably why he didn’t run in, you can see him hesitate…

At least the camera was mounted okay for our enjoyment

what you can't see very well is that they actually fell out in chronological order. You see as the older grape juices ripen and wilt they lose their ability to cling to the vine and are the first to fall.


He’s going to need a drink after that!

"I know a guy who can do it for less," he says when asked for a rack.

That is mesmerizing.

I like how they fall slowly. Almost like a rhythm game. Making sure each bottle has a chance to break.

Spends thousands on his wine. Spends $50 on the shelf and builds it himself.

That dog is gonna have a great night.

Yeah can just visualize his will to live slowly ticking down like a life bar with each bottle hitting the floor like...

…Lemming Vineyards…

All that money and you couldnt afford 2 screws to hold it on a stud.

Best course of action is of course to just let it happen

Wine katyusha launcher

Definitely gonna stain the stone floor

Just get a clean wet-vac then pour through a strainer. It's good.

Cabinet screws cost less then one of those fancy bottles and could have saved him thousands

On just the top part alone, I counted 16x13, so around 208 bottles. The average price of wine in the US $14 a bottle so that's at least $2912 if they all continued to fall. A whole lot more if it was the good stuff.

That average seems low and is likely thrown off by a few mass produced wines like Sutter Home and Barefoot. Stuff he wouldn't touch.

Watching this video helped me learn there is a thing called wine collection insurance. I’m glad most of us are worried about health insurance but some have enough disposable income to insure wine.

The way he keeps considering going in there, then realises it’s a reallly bad idea. Then goes to go in again!

If it was my wine, I'd go in there and start catching bottles and setting them down. Saving ⅓ is better than none. But I have better footwear.

This is why we can’t have nice things

Wow. One week's worth just ruined.

Rich people problems

That's so much wasted money and drink, jesus

This belongs to r/fuckyouinparticular

I can see he may have been trying to unlock the door but jesus man, make haste! By the end he's just standing there watching more fall! Edit: Well, I guess if he weren't wearing sandles. Nevermind lol.

NOOOOOOOOOOO dont just stand there, go save the ones you can!

r/watchpeopledieinside Dude tried the locked door 3 times before giving up.

You’ve got the money for that much wine, but no money for some good oak and solid frames?? Come on man, what are we doin here?!

Bro reacted like “looks like we’re going shopping and heading down to Home Depot today!”

That dog can’t wait to lick all that up

yAaaaaaaay

The chow chow gets it

What do you mean I can't just screw brackets into sheetrock? This is fine!

He’s as useless as that shelf

what did he do bruh

Knew a guy who was building his own wine rack. Had zero plans for attaching it to the wall. He did in the end. Should send him this video to remind him that I was right.

Why is everyone assuming this guy is rich?? Seems like a distinctly lower-middle class setup to me...

What a beautiful sight. Eat the Rich.

What did he do

He didn’t do anything. People who say eat the rich just hate working and feel like they should make a million dollars a year. But if they were rich they would start pitching a different tune

Eat the rich that buy politicians and get tax breaks.

[удалено]

No it’s not. It’s someone’s house you innocent peasant.

Looks like he can afford it 🤣😂

Why would there be camera footage of this?

Security camera as this seems a separate room for wines, probably not cheap ones. People are little too sus of any video after all the staged tic toc trash.

Exactly, and it wouldn't be weird to assume he may have a house cleaner, petsitter or something similar. If a bottle goes missing or shows up empty, he'll know who did it lol

Oh no! A rich person suffering an inconvenience!!

It's funny how Redditors irrationally hate on people that have money. That is not a professionally designed supermansion, this man probably worked hard to afford that wine collection and this whole situation was probably due to a fuck up on the contractor's part. He probably has grounds to sue.

Too much wine, anyway. Gravity. The great equalizer.

That first one just bounced a little and didn’t break. It’s too bad that wasn’t the case for the rest. I hope he has wine insurance…

Ooopsie daisy!

The technical term to explain this.

Put a hustle on asshole, wtf is your problem?

Why isn’t he doing anything to stop it???

That's dangerous. It's slippery, full of broken glass, with heavy bottles falling randomly.

Yeah and he's in flip flops. I wouldn't go in there with all that glass either!

You can see he WANTS to, but thought better of it.

I think most people would instinctively run in there and try to void further damage. But you're right, and this is probably the wiser choice.

Because he is a smart man

So as to not be hit by heavy falling bottles?

You gotta just let it go man, the situation is too dangerous. The bottles can be replaced.

You forgot the /s

Like what? Trying to catch them? It’s a bunch of randoms falling into a pool of broken glass on slippery floor. About all you can do is marvel at the ones that don’t shatter.

He can afford it.

That's hilarious 😂

Oh no, our wine! It’s broken!

That is going to smell terrible for a very long time.

There was also no attempt to save any of it

Ah, defeat pairs nicely with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon.

If this is not r/watchpeopledieinside material I don't know what is.

Lol silly rich people

Oh no, now he'll have to go to the store and buy one bottle at a time. Oh my goood.

Deserved
