broke two chairs this week.
 

I must be approaching lardass status - two chairs this week have broken on me -

both times it's been one of the front supports, like that target chair I bought, but I see now a screw in my office chair busted clean out of the wood in the seat and took an inch of seat support with it. (I thought it leaned a bit too far back last week.)

I'm still the same 218 pounds (6'3" - so 218 isn't that terrible) - I think I'm just collasping into them too hard. Too much faith - maybe I was drunk when I broke them....I don't know.

time to go buy the heavy duty IKEA - or better yet, just a fat ol' bean bag that I can't hurt - cause my lardass is breaking all the furniture.

First guitars, now chairs.

Look at and then slowly lower yourself to the sitting surface. Stop with the kamikaze stuff before you get hurt.

that guitar was in the target chair -

hell, I shoulda tossed that mo-fo chair the moment I did that..

I can second that. When I weighed about 170, I broke a couch leg, a chair, and a spring in my car seat. I'm pretty lazy, so tend to just "plop" into seats.

My friends still laugh about the chair - it was in an apartment office when I was signing a lease. I don't think the shattered chair on the office floor made them comfortable that I was going to leave the apartment in good shape.
