Mountain Clams

The Klutz

I was in a meeting at work with the rest of my team. It was a pretty casual meeting. I was leaning back in my chair for most of it. At one point, I went to sit up, but the chair wasn't coming with me! What's wrong here?

I hooked the chair under the bottom of the whiteboard on the wall behind me, and when I sat up, the spring in the chair lifted the whiteboard up, ripping one of the supports out of the wall and causing the whole thing to fall down almost on my head. It fell lopsided (since only one support was torn out) and punched a rectangular hole in the drywall on one side of the room.

At this point, I was able to turn around and place it more gently on the floor of the meeting room while the rest of the team watched (though John did help a bit with the lifting).

Oops!
