I just broke my computer chair in the worst disaster since chernobyl
I went to sit down to log onto D.U.
& my desk chair, which is a heavy ass P.O.S LITERALLY broke
out from under me. The fucker got some serious air flying out behind me and breaking. I landed with a resounding thud on my ass- and it didn't hurt so much at the time but now I feel sore

Dammit! The thing that makes me mad is I knew the damn chair was on its way out- one of my cousins had used it for a bouncy chair about 2 weeks ago & it had been making odd noises ever since.

Now the base of my spine is killing me.


Hope I didnt break my coccyx... (Like Grama in Napoloen Dynamite)

4. Let me put it like this-
if it hadn't happened to me I would have laughed my ass off.

As it was, I had just gone to sit down with a freshly filled HUMONGOUS cup of water!! so that got flipping everywhere! I had to quick turn off the computer & the surge protector and clean the mess with not 1, not 2 but FOUR towels.

My mother came running down the stairs after I landed (I'm very proud that I didn't scream) and asked if someone had just hit the house.

I was like, uh, no..... that was my ASS hitting the floor.

Time for Jenny Craig? Maybe

5. Had my cheap student chair separate
as I went to roll back and I broke my butt a few years ago. No one but the dog was home as I lay there still seated on the seat but laying on my back. Big old dog comes in looking down at me with that quizzical look.

Hope you're ok. I had some problems after mine..did some damage that took a while to get over. My lower back still hurts at times.
