"Do Not Throw Condoms Out the Window"... Embarrassing Apartment Notice

Someone Threw a Condom, Already Used
Even Light Objects Thrown Can Cause Serious Injury Risk

A somewhat embarrassing notice saying "Do not throw contraceptives out the window" was posted in an apartment elevator. On the 19th, a photo of the notice attached to an apartment elevator was uploaded to an online community.

On the 18th, the apartment management office posted a notice in the elevator warning, "Do not throw condoms out of the window." In the notice, the management office stated, "Although it is embarrassing due to the frequent occurrence of such incidents, we have no choice but to post photos and notices as affected households have expressed discomfort. We ask for your understanding," and urged, "Please be especially careful not to throw anything out of the window." [Photo by Online Community]

The day before, on the 18th, the apartment management office posted a warning notice in the elevator saying, "Do not throw condoms out the window." In the notice, the management office stated, "Although it is embarrassing because such incidents happen frequently, we have no choice but to post this notice and photo as the affected households have expressed discomfort. We ask for your understanding," and urged, "Please be especially careful not to throw anything out the window." Photos of contraceptives placed on the apartment balcony railing and flowerbed were also attached. The contraceptives in the photos showed signs of having been used.

Netizens reacted with disbelief, commenting, "No matter what, used condoms...", "Who is supposed to clean this up?", "Is there no trash can at home?", and "You should clean up your own waste." Previously, in 2022, an incident occurred in an apartment where an adult product, a real doll, fell into the parking lot and damaged vehicles. The fallen object was reported to weigh over 15 kg.

Apartment Falling Objects Can Lead to Serious Injury Beyond Simple Complaints

Not only contraceptives but also trash and other falling objects from apartments are dangerous as they can lead to serious injuries beyond simple complaints. Falling objects from heights can cause casualties. Whether intentional or accidental, falling objects can result in major accidents, so special caution is always necessary. An object weighing 100g dropped from the 21st floor weighs about 7kg upon impact. Therefore, no matter how light an object is, it should never be thrown from an apartment.

If damage is caused to another person's property by throwing objects and it is intentional, imprisonment of up to 3 years or a fine of up to 7 million won can be imposed. If there is no intent, criminal punishment may be avoided, but civil compensation must be made. If a person is injured or killed by thrown objects, punishment applies regardless of intent.

If intentional, causing injury can result in imprisonment of up to 7 years, suspension of qualifications for up to 10 years, or a fine of up to 10 million won. For serious injury (life-threatening), imprisonment from 1 to 10 years applies, and for injury resulting in death, a heavy sentence of at least 3 years of imprisonment is imposed. Even without intent, causing injury by negligence can result in a fine of up to 5 million won, detention, or penalty, and causing death by negligence can lead to imprisonment of up to 2 years or a fine of up to 7 million won.
