Everyday objects that broke in the most interesting way

It's pretty rare for things to break in a way that is truly fascinating. There's always a familiar pattern, and for the most part, people are generally super upset when they break something around the house.

Sometimes, things will look like a super villain or something out of this world wanted it destroyed. Take a look at these examples.

Can anyone explain what happened to this shopping cart? Who cuts these things in half and leaves them at a bus stop?

There's no telling how this happened, and I don't want to know who did it.

That's something you'd have to deal with in the morning if that happens to you.

Have you ever seen a bike break this way? If you're a biker then you probably have.

Ordinary folks don't usually see a bicycle in this condition. That's pretty weird.

This wrench went through a lot. It says a lot if this is what it looks like.

Whatever it tried fixing ended up breaking it, which is pretty ironic if you ask me.

We've all seen broken watch bands, but I don't think I've seen one tear as this one did.

I'm going to say that someone tried to steal this thing or someone got punched.

What if you had to travel across this body of water, but you didn't know the bridge broke?

If your controller ends up like this, there's no need for you to continue gaming.

Your controller should never reach this level. Besides, that's an old model; at least get a newer system.

They aren't supposed to look like that by any stretch of the imagination.

Somehow, the ice erupted from the pole and made this happen. It doesn't look like it was supposed to do that.

There's no way this was supposed to happen, but Mother Nature has powers.

Pencils don't break like this. What was the person doing to make this even happen?

It doesn't add up. At least they have two pencils to use now. One just won't have an eraser.

They said their tap oxidized in a weird way, so the water began squirting out randomly.

That's odd, and certainly not anything you want to happen in your home. Sorry about that.

Your expensive water bottle shouldn't break like this, especially while you're having fun in nature.

Did this person melt the bottom off or was the water too much to carry?

They can probably glue it back together if they wanted. If not, that's a glass gone too soon.

Seeing things break into three pieces will always be strange. Bowls don't break like this.

Usually, it'll snap into two or shatter into a lot of pieces. These three sections look too perfect.

The wild part is that someone can still drink out of this if they tried.
