I adjust them to the right hight and am merrily tapping away at the computer, all is serene until someone comes in and sits down across from me. With in a minute I get that sinking feeling as my chair slowly begins to lower me. It is very hard to project a professional and unflappable image when you are at eye level with your desk pad. I look a little like those "Kilroy was here" dudes.
So the question becomes, Should you ignore it? Or should you try to adjust your chair?
Should you attempt to adjust the chair one of the following will happen: There will be a loud screeching noise as the chair slowly rises. Or: it will be stuck and will refuse to budge as you stand half bent over and tugging futilely on the lever thing. Or: The seat will come flying up as if rocket propelled sending you sprawling forward on to the desk.
I have tried different chairs. It doesn't help. I even tried a non-adjustable chair. It had happily held guys that weighed two or three times what I do. I am sitting on it, my boss walks in and the thing collapses. I gave up. I let the chair do as it likes and never try to wrestle it into submission in public.
I have offended the chair deities and must atone. I will offer up a footstool the next time we have a bonfire.
We had a dusty sea blue velvet chair. I broke
my toe on it twice. Same toe, same chair leg.
We recently got rid of it (the cats destroyed
it with sharp things, it was a pretty blue too)
& brought up our rocker. Mom keeps hitting
her toe on it. Same rocker leg everytime. She
hits the same toe on hers that I hit on mine.
