Readers have no trouble understanding it and it provides the sentence with a sense of continuity because each reader will be finishing up the sentence in his mind even if it's only for a syllable or two. We do this in conversations all the time as well. You will hear us finishing a sentence with が or けど, both of which basically mean "but". So, this is all cutural and therefore, the funnest part of Japanese learning.

Xd and thus my reign of chaos continues.
Riiight, ok, I think I understand it now. I've heard sentences ending が or けど, and even used them myself, but never one where the verb isn't finished. Thanks for the video and explanation!
