hello everybody here at Mylot.

this morning i was sitting at the computer listening to some music and all of a sudden i felt the need to stretch backwards in my office chair, that rolls and the back of it moves as well. well when i went to stretch, all of a sudden, the next thing that i knew, i was on the kitchen floor. lmao i leaned too far backwards and the chair fell over with me. lol i am just glad that i wasn't hurt in falling. my left leg is sore thou, and is swelled up some, tomorrow i will probably have a big bruise there. at least it isn't summer time where i have to wear shorts for everybody to see an ugly bruise on my leg. right? lol

so tell me, have you ever fallen out of your office chair before?

thanks for sharing and have a beautiful afternoon.

I have done that on more than one occasion. I think it is great that you are laughing about the situation and you didn't let it get to you.

I have also done this when sitting on a bar stool, on more than one occasion. Fortunately since they are so high up, a lot of times I will catch myself before I hit the back of my head on the floor, but not always. Hey it happens. At least we can laugh at ourselves and move on.

Hope you have a wonderful day and keep smiling!

lol one of the priceless moments in life, i personally have never done that one before but i was however playing basketball one time in the gym and i was wearing track pants, they were a little long on me and they manages to slip down the back of my sneaker and go underneath of my shoe, as i went to jump for a layup the pants slid across the floor and i wound up flat on my back with a bump on the back of my head, lesson learned for sure, now i wear shorts whenever i play ball lol

I hope you are ok and that nothing is wrong other than possible bruises and soreness. My computer chair is different, if you lean back and it is not locked in place you feel like you will fall but it won't. I don't like to have it locked in place because there are times when I do like lean back some.

OMG I can't imagine that happening to me. I probably wouldn't have been able to either get up or hurting myself real bad. Glad you're OK. That's a terrible way to get in a stretch. I did have to laugh though, it reminded me of the time I was all hot and bothered over someone that turned out to be a putz, but nevertheless we went on a little trip together to the US and we got booked into a room. Of course there was a big queen bed and on the other side of the wall was the second bed. It was OK but it was a double bed that was on wheels. Well after we got our stuff inside, I said time for a smoke, as I smoked back then. He said yes and I got a drink for us too. I jumped up on the bed and lite my smoke, he went to the desk to mix a drink. I leaned my back up against the wall and I pushed my back up against the wall because I was watching Mr. handsome mixing us a drink from the mirror that hung on the wall. Next thing I knew the bed went flying forward and I hit the floor. Well when he heard the crash he came running and there I was all crumbled up on the floor between the wall and the bed. He looked down at me and said, what the hell are you doing down there. Good laugh and good memories. Too Funny.

myLot reputation of 99/100. Grandmaof2 (4590)  4 years ago

Oh No I didn't hurt anything except my pride, I was only about 28 at the time and that was when my bones were in much better shape.

Hope you are ok. This is a funny story now but am sure it wasn't earlier when you fell. Glad you weren't really hurt. Could have busted your head. I don't believe I've fallen out of a chair in years. I can lean back in my chair and it will go with me but won't try it all the way to see if it will hold my body weight. Don't need a broken head even though the room is carpeted.


myLot reputation of 98/100. TnWoman (1553)   ranked 198 out of 32,948 in life  4 years ago

Sat on my friends bar stool one morning forgetting it was broken. She has tile flooring. I laid their sprawled on my back in pain for quite some time. Felt like I'd broken my tail bone. Good to know you weren't injured.

I haven't but that is mainly because I am wise enough to know better than to lean that far back and also old enough to know that it will hurt if I do.. I have, although, almost feel out of my chair when I have fallen asleep at the computer.. I get comfortable and sleepy, then I lay my head on the desk for, "just a second or two".. That is a good way to fall out of your chair, especially if you are thinking your are in your own bed and try to turn over to get comfortable.. That is a wake up call..

Hi TnWoman! haha...I am sorry but that was kinda funny! I am just glad to know that you are not really hurt except for that sore leg. I oftentimes fall out of chair whenever I do some stretching or sometimes, when I am bored or tired from working, I sometimes do a balancing act while seated on the chair. I usually lean backwards as far as I can with only the two legs of the chair on the floor..I will be successful balancing it for a few seconds, then down I will fall. haha..
Have a wonderful day!
