Four to the floor, I was sure…

Today, I learned the hard way why they say "four on the floor" at school. I leaned too far back while rocking in the chair and fell off. I grabbed the desk to save myself, and it came down too. FML

OP, you have not heard the horror stories teachers tell about students leaning too far back and the consequences. I've heard about death, paralyzation, mental damage, and some other things.

I haven't done that since 3rd grade. A boy in my class fell and busted his head open... the blood...

Upon reading this, I went off to Facebook to become a fan of "that split second of fear when you lean back too far in your chair"....

unlucky. in all the years I've been doing that I've only fallen 3 or 4 times.

Oh wow. I did something similar in my medical class... FIRST WEEK of my FRESHMAN year of high school. T.T It was so loud on the tile floor, when the chair fell... so embarrassing. xD

And THAT is why my teachers tell kids they will get there chairs tooken away if they lean to far back in them.

'Tooken'? Then again, can't expect much from a 'Twi-lover'. Twilight made me lose faith in my philosophy that women are of greater intelligence.FYL for being a Twilight fan. Also, OP, I'm sorry that happened. It sucks. Have better balance. I have leaned back in my chair for 15 out of 18 years (basically since I've been sitting in them) and I've never fallen once. Started to, but I've always caught myself with no trouble.
