Dr. Adam Aston gave a hilarious yet friendly PSA about not 'putting things where they don't belong' during a recent trip to Target.

A doctor on TikTok has gone viral after sharing a hilarious PSA about what not to do with holiday decorations from Target, and it's definitely not what you're thinking.

(Okay, some of you are definitely thinking it).


Dr. Adam Aston has saved more than 9.6 million viewers from making a terrible call in judgement by urging them not to "put [things] where they don't belong."

The creator captioned his video:

"Stay safe out there this holiday season!"

And we appreciate his concern.

Dr. Aston began:

"So Target already has some of their Christmas decorations out, and I feel like I should stop for a moment as a doctor and give a small PSA..."

While most viewers waited for the doctor to shed some light on safety hazards surrounding glass ornaments and children or maybe even a design tip or two, the video took a sharp turn.

Holding a lovely, delicate glass tree figurine, he warned:

"Do not put this where it doesn't belong."

Surely he doesn't mean...oh, butt yes he does.

Dr. Aston displayed several different decorations that could possibly be mistaken for something else, but he warned that it doesn't matter the color...

Especially the next one, as he warned:

"Definitely not. You'll get a splinter."
"I just know, you'll get a splinter."

@adamgaston/TikTok

Do NOT put them where they don't belong!

He finished:

"Anyway, happy holidays."
"Stay safe out there, and don't put things where they don't belong."

Many, however, did admit they were not expecting the doctor's warning to be about decking the holes.

Dr. Aston told BuzzFeed:

"People have and will always put things where they don't belong, and it's fairly frequent that residents share interesting cases with each other, partially as a warning and partially to help us become aware of what different objects look like when they get stuck somewhere they don't belong."
"A lot of those Christmas decorations are made from wood, glass, or ceramics, which - with the right amount of force - could splinter or shatter inside someone, causing serious injury."
"Maybe my PSA will keep someone from making a mistake!"

Thank you for your service—and the laugh.

Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
