I didn't really believe in that stuff till I moved into my new place. I have to say the shit that happens is not explainable by science. But only in the kitchen. Whatever is in there is mostly chill but occasionally acts up. Last week was the worst, I was cooking and turn around to go to the fridge when a 10liter glass margarita jug comes flying off the top shelf above the fridge i had not yet touched. Jar smashed and breaks on my head, blood everywhere. No real explanation how a large, sturdy jug that hasn't moved since summer, suddenly ended up on my head.

I had a heated talk with whatever it was after and said I didn't mind sharing space but this shit is unacceptable. Hopefully it helps

Refrigerators vibrate. Glass has low friction. It slowly got closer to the edge with cycles of the compressor and opening and closing slightly moving it over time.

The shelf wasn't directly above. If the jug fell it would have bounced off the fridge and microwave on top but instead it came off the shelf with enough force to go past the fridge completely. It was definitely the weirdest thing that's happened to me
