how embarrasment

Fell out of my chair at work. I'm sure somewhere in the world there are people who can fall out of a chair with style, dignity and grace. I am not one of those people. Took the chair down with me too. We're talking a fairly heavy, lot's of legs and wheels type chair here. It didn't fall on me. Much. Didn't hurt myself, just destroyed the final shreds of my dignity.

Man, I wish I could say this was the only time I've ever fallen out of a chair, but noooo. At least the last time was at my old work. Once again witnessed by many people. The worst time was, I would have to say, in high school when in a Maths class I lent over to pick something I'd dropped on the floor and promptly tipped over sideways, taking the chair with me. Hilarity ensued. I get up straighten up the chair and go back to pretending to pay attention. 5 minutes later something else falls off my desk. haha says I, shan't fall for that one again as I get a firm hold of the desk and leeeean over to pick up whateverthehellitwas. This time I take the chair and the table down with me. More hilarity.

And let's not even start about the time at alasen's when I destroyed a chair. Again with people watching.

Clearly I should only sit on chairs unsupervised.

Um.... is it a bad thing that I couldn't stop laughing while reading this?

Nope not a bad thing. Man, I'd be killing myself with laughter if I'd seen it happening to someone else. I'm a klutz ::shrugs::

It's just that we can all see the look that would be on your face. And, as Hannah mentioned last night, you would so have the cat 'I meant to do that!' look on your face afterwards *g*

I'm really really sorry for laughing while reading this post. >_<

For what it's worth, I have broken a chair once as well but I firmly believe it was the chair's fault, not mine.

Clearly the chairs are out to get us! It's all part of their plan!
