The old wive's tale that a broom will stand on its own during the Spring Equinox proved true for me this AM. But will it also stand in August? I dont know because ive never tried.

I have that same broom, but it's to unevenly worn to stand up.

    I don't mean to brag, but my broom is only a week old. Dusts off shoulder

    I actually used to stand brooms up when I was a kid working at Hardee's. I'd get like 3 or 4 of them standing and then this pothead Joe and I would try to land dishrags on the handle like we were throwing a disc golf putter or something. Manager was not impressed

    Holy shit it’s working

    I didn’t think it would, my broom is slanted.

    But it does stand

    My broom is still encased in ice.
