Today, after 4 years of nicely asking, I wrote an official memo to our logistics department, asking for new chairs for my subordinates. The logistics people came and concluded that there are more broken chairs than good ones, but suggested that perhaps we should all go on a diet. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, after dieting and working out for almost 3 months, I sit down on my chair to finish off some work. It broke. FML
Today, I got a new chair at work. After spending three hours putting it together, I was called into my boss's office and let go. FML
Today, I was promptly told to lose weight today by my computer desk when it broke under the weight of my leg. FML
Today, while at a family gathering, I sat down in a chair and it broke. Embarrassed, I picked myself up and sat down in another chair. That one broke too. I'm now the "fat girl" of the family despite weighing 90 pounds. FML
Today, I saw some really nice dining room chairs sitting out on the curb waiting for the garbage man. I went to the door to ask the owners why they were throwing them out. They told me it was because they had just bought new furniture. While I was talking to the owner, somebody else picked them up. FML
Today, I went in to a job interview with 6 other girls my age. I tried to sit down on a chair exactly like the ones every other girl was sitting on. Then, one of the interviewers offered to get me a more "sturdy" chair. For the entire interview, I got to sit in the "fat girl chair". FML
Today, I greeted my boss with, "Looking good, did you lose weight?" He responded that no, he'd just purchased larger pants. FML
Today, my chair abruptly fell apart completely while I was sitting on it. I didn't even do anything. Have I really gained that much weight? FML
Today, I was sitting on a rather small, uncomfortable bean bag while my friend was sitting on a nice chair. She asked if I wanted to switch seats, not so I could be more comfortable, but because she thought I was too fat and that I would burst the bean bag. FML
Today, during my lunch break, I sat on the manager's chair. As I sat down, I heard a snapping sound and I ended up on the floor. Everyone now calls me "the lumpy girl" who broke the manager's chair. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That shouldn't be okay. Sounds to me like they're being cheap. I would report them

#6 OP is with Logistics not from IT. no that it's an acceptable excuse for not buying new chairs.

Totally agree with this, anyone sitting around all day tends to gain a few pounds overtime! And if there are chairs being broken, I can only assume the worst! Now let's get everyone to Oprah so they can look under their seats! Free memberships to the gym WOOH!

They probably have some benefits from your high management if they delay the purchase of new chairs.

Wait till they go on a break, and switch your chairs with theirs!

My chem teacher used to do that with the bio class next door because their stools were padded

Time to throw down a challenge! Tell them your department can lose more weight than theirs and if you win you get new chairs.
