Check this out, I'm in the office yesterday and hear a crack/bang. Not crazy loud, not even enough for me to get out of my chair.

A couple hours later I walk into our confrence room and the glass top in our confrence room had just exploded. It was a huge top 4'x10' and 1" thick frosted in white.

Pics are great, but this is how I found the table

The room is big and some of the smaller pieces were shot like 20 feet away in spray patterns radiating out from the corners of the table-

That's what happens when you buy furniture at K-Mart.

daunwaun · 11 January 2012, 12:13 AM

And the explosion was caused by....lol

mtrunner · 11 January 2012, 12:15 AM

What was the cause?

Rockrolex · 11 January 2012, 12:19 AM

Must have been a sudden drop in the temp.

Or a sudden drop in the table top! That nobody will confess to...

Could it have been a bad reaction to some cleaning product?

azguy · 11 January 2012, 12:48 AM

We have no idea, only two of us were in the office and the other guy was much farther away and did not even hear it.

Dropped, no...it weighs like 300 pounds.

Cleaning products, no, we have had it for almost a year and the same people have been cleaning it the whole time.

The glass company and the interior designer will be by today to check it out

It's known as spontaneous glass breakage and is not uncommon, I've had it happen to a table of my own.

Update, the glass company came out yesterday and says it happens like once a year and they have no idea really why

I suddenly have the urge of not working anywhere near this office (or building for that matter...)!

Glad to know at least no one got hurt!

On first read I thought two of your co-workers might have been getting a little "frisky"..alas, the truth is less exciting

threemonkeys · 13 January 2012, 09:01 AM

Maybe you just have a rogue coffee cup that's having a bad day.

Just saying.
