A woman tried to open her frozen car and was completely shocked when the door handle simply broke in her hand.
The incident was shared by Jennifer Daniel on her TikTok profile. Jennifer lives in Texas, which is experiencing an intense snowstorm. She shared that when trying to open the door of her frozen Volkswagen, the door handle broke off in her hand.
“Winter storm in Texas: 30 minutes later… the handle on my door broke,” Jennifer wrote in the text overlaid on the clip. In the footage, you can hear her saying, “You’ve got to be kidding me.”
While the situation may have caused Jennifer a real headache, many commenters chose to look at it from a spiritual perspective. “This is your spiritual guide’s way of telling you to run back inside and stay there,” one user commented.
“God protected you. Things happen for a reason. You don’t know what could have happened on the road,” analyzed another. “I haven’t even gotten out of bed yet to see what’s going on. Take care, everyone,” wrote a third.
According to AAA, to open a frozen car door, it’s best to push the door firmly and then gently pull on the handle. You may need to repeat this motion a few times to start breaking the ice. After several attempts, the ice layer should crack, and you’ll be able to open the door.
Buying a de-icer might be useful, but you can also make a homemade solution by mixing one part water with three parts vinegar. You can also use warm water on the door, but avoid using boiling water, especially on the windows, as the thermal shock could cause them to crack.
