My tomato plants kept getting knocked over for a whole month

I couldn't figure out why my potted tomatoes on my 4th floor balcony kept tipping over, even on calm days. Turns out, the plastic pots I reused from last year had tiny, clogged drainage holes, so water pooled at the bottom and made them top-heavy. It took me four weeks and three broken stems to finally drill bigger holes in the sides of the pots. Has anyone else had pots that just won't drain right?

I always blamed the wind, not the pots.

That "blame the wind" thing reminds me of a friend who lost his grill lid off a deck. He swore it was a freak gust, not the cheap latch. Classic @johnson.lee move.
