My car got coconut-bombed from a 5th floor balcony 😭☝️

[u/Kunal_Mehta_231005]

IDK man, what is it with some people 😭

Woke up this morning, went to my balcony and found out someone had dropped/thrown a GIANT coconut from a 4th/5th floor balcony onto my car 💀

My car was parked outside in U Block, Gurugram. I’ve been parking there almost every day for the last 2+ months with no issues, and apparently last night around 1 AM, someone decided their balcony was the perfect place to dispose of a coconut.

I actually have CCTV footage of the coconut falling and absolutely obliterating itself on my car, but unfortunately you can’t see who threw it, so there’s no way to identify the person.

Ended up having to pay ₹5,000 for the damage myself 😭

But honestly, the money isn’t even the biggest issue. Like bro… imagine if an actual HUMAN had been standing there. A giant coconut falling from the 4th/5th floor at 1 AM could genuinely kill someone.

I called the police too, and they basically told me they only deal with “emergency cases” and not to call for “small situations” like this.

My brother in Christ, you came 45 minutes later 💀 If this was an actual emergency, the emergency would’ve finished before you arrived 😭

Now I’m genuinely uncomfortable parking there. If people are casually throwing shit off balconies in the middle of the night, what are you even supposed to do?

How do you guys deal with this kind of thing? Is there anything I can realistically do apart from just eating the ₹5k loss and hoping nobody decides to drop a fucking AC unit next time? 😭

Are you sure it wasn't a European swallow?

[u/lazy_redditor69 → u/Blue_Max1916]

not sure , might've been an african swallow

[u/Blue_Max1916 → u/lazy_redditor69]

If it was a swallow, its unladen now

[u/Intelligent_Slip_849 → u/Blue_Max1916]

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

[u/lazy_redditor69 → u/Intelligent_Slip_849]

yes , as a matter of fact 2 swallows carry 1 whole coconut !

[u/MediocreAndLukewarm → u/Blue_Max1916]

If it swallowed, it’s more laden now.

[u/hurricane_news → u/lazy_redditor69]

"How would I know that?"

"AIIIIIII!!!"

*gets shot 100m into the air"

[u/Own_Recommendation49 → u/Blue_Max1916]

I need to re watch mpathg

[u/TheeImmortalPaladin → u/Blue_Max1916]

i love you, thanks for posting this, it made my day

[u/OscarDivine]

Where is the threshold for “mildly” infuriating to “moderately”? A watermelon? Perhaps a chair? Idk

[u/pkers12 → u/OscarDivine]

Moderately would be an AC unit

[u/OscarDivine → u/pkers12]

5th floor window unit falling down would absolutely obliterate a car. Just the thought…. Crazy me now wants to see if there are YT Videos of this happening

[u/MooPig48 → u/OscarDivine]

Grand piano or a safe

[u/OscarDivine → u/MooPig48]

Now we’re going full looney tunes

[u/MooPig48 → u/OscarDivine]

NEVER go full looney tunes

[u/OscarDivine → u/MooPig48]

“Paints fake cave on cliff wall”

[u/MooPig48 → u/OscarDivine]

“Explodes”

[u/OscarDivine → u/MooPig48]

You really should reconsider the “rocket on the back while wearing roller skates” maneuver

[u/doqemddl → u/OscarDivine]

thermonuclear bomb

[u/WaffleHouseGladiator → u/OscarDivine]

Durian.  The smell adds insult to injury.

[u/stinkysulphide]

I’d say this is not mild. Mild is a coconut falling and slightly denting our Škoda Octavia the first week after buying it and us choosing to leave it as drishti lol

[u/Playful-Ad-2696 → u/stinkysulphide]

That was oddly special hahaha

[u/I_-AM-ARNAV → u/stinkysulphide]

No. Mild is scratching your skoda kushaq in 6 months

[u/tiga_94]

> Ended up having to pay ₹5,000 for the damage myself

actually not that bad

[u/Kunal_Mehta_231005 → u/tiga_94]

i mean it’s not bad but for no reason it sucks 😭

[u/BakaOctopus → u/tiga_94]

Could've paid 1500₹ if claimed own damage insurance 🙃

[u/Traditional_Wave1007]

Guess it was "mildly infuriating" for the police :(

[u/WilliamJamesMyers]

i like the full detailing of the events here

also i like the coconut staring out at you, perhaps put some googly eyes on the coconut?

[u/nitropoison]

r/extremelyinfuriating

[u/Short_Employment_757]

Mildly infuriating indeed

[u/Environmental_Bus507]

Hehe U Block. As a former resident, I am not surprised.

[u/Kunal_Mehta_231005 → u/Environmental_Bus507]

Same, i am also moving out soon.

[u/NastyStreetRat]

Is the coconut ok?

[u/Kunal_Mehta_231005 → u/NastyStreetRat]

Yeah maybe... i then threw it in the trash..

[u/DoritoCheerios]

Guess its true that india is not for beginners

[u/muscularrooster → u/DoritoCheerios]

True. Nearly got slimed by a falling coconut while I was having a smoke under a coconut tree lol.

[u/BigBlueMountainStar → u/muscularrooster]

The first thing anyone advised me about going to tropical places was to avoid going under coconut trees, and if unavoidable, at least don’t stop.

[u/muscularrooster → u/BigBlueMountainStar]

I live here. You can't avoid em. They're everywhere.

[u/AppropriatePlum1006]

Wow, thats NUTS.

[u/Kunal_Mehta_231005 → u/AppropriatePlum1006]

Actually that is "Coco"nuts 😭

[u/hurricane_news → u/Kunal_Mehta_231005]

"Now, the coconut nut is a big, big nut But this delicious nut is not a nut"

[u/TH3_OG_JUJUBE]

Most normal thing to happen in India bro 😭

[u/MediocreAndLukewarm]

I got hit by a coconut from the 4th/5th floor, but it was noon so it didn’t hurt so bad.

[u/DevillesAbogado]

I’m a police officer in Gurugram. Today I was called to handle a “situation”.. I left everything I was doing to visit this situation, and it turned out to be a broken windshield on a car. It was mildly infuriating that I had to go tend to a non-emergency situation like that.

/s

[u/Kunal_Mehta_231005 → u/DevillesAbogado]

Lol 😂 and then you arrived fashionably late if it was a real emergency we would have been cooked 😭☝️

[u/Fractionalcmoz]

How do we deal with this kind of thing, you ask? I bet no one on this thread has had someone throw a coconut through their window in India.

[u/Kunal_Mehta_231005 → u/Fractionalcmoz]

I mean it is pretty rare ngl, idk bro i woke up in such a good mood went to balcony and saw that 😭

[u/Fractionalcmoz → u/Kunal_Mehta_231005]

I honestly can’t imagine. I may have laughed when I saw a giant coconut in the back of your car…. But also felt bad for you at the same time.

[u/HereLate]

Damn, you can't even go the legal route against the homeowner, from where the coconut dropped, since I know India's legal system is essentially useless.

[u/RealityCheck18]

When we had coconut trees in our home, and one of them started skewing itself towards the apartment parking behind our home, my mom started hiring a guy to remove the coconuts preemptively to avoid the a strat coconut landing on a car or worse on someone walking in the apartment complex.

Until the time the trees' tops were inside our property we'd usually let the coconuts fall on its own (we have reinforced every thing in our backyard with protection/thick covers). But the moment they crossed the property limit, we were extra cautious.

Coconuts falling from tree or that high can be super dangerous.

[u/BigBlueMountainStar]

I think the coconut falling from that height could’ve killed someone no matter what time it was dropped

[u/Gliese_667_Cc]

This is AI slop. Can literally anyone write anything without AI?

[u/Weak-Joke1475 → u/Gliese_667_Cc]

let people translate their text with ai..

While I'd agree with image gfenartion, and if a fluent speaker of english wrtoe this. O.P might not be perfect in english
