I don't know if it's physically possible, but I sometimes think what if my office chair breaks and the hydraulic piston shoots through the seat and impales my colon.

Real Final Destination shit right there.

Possible trigger warning...

I read an article a few years ago about this happening in China. There were graphic photos from the ER which I won't discuss here, but If I remember correctly it was a teenager and he actually died because it ruptured an artery in his colon or something like that. Ever since then I've always been ok with spending a little more money for a quality chair. Especially if it's something you're going to use every day.

And dont forget the Q&A section featuring the finest examples of human intelligence.

"Does this chair have adjustable armrests?" "It depends"
"will the red color match my rug?" "My blue chair matches my lavendar silk curtains!"
"is the chair cushion firm or soft?" "I didn't buy this exact chair, but mine is prefect"
"where are these made?" "100 united america made quality product garentees by company or monies refund to costomer."
