My office chair has two pranks it cannot get enough of. The first is the Surprise Sinkhole. I sit down only to have the bottom of my world pulled out from under me, causing me to gasp and hit my elbow or arm on my desktop. The chair hisses in laughter while I commend it on a well played joke and readjust it to a normal height. The second is Grandma's Crazy Rocking Chair. I sit down in what I think is a normal chair, only to discover that it temporarily becomes a disjointed rocking chair that almost causes me to fall all the way backward. This one is not as funny, because oftentimes during my course correction, I pull a muscle in my back.
I have tried a couple of times to pull the ole switcharoo with someone else in the office. However, the people here know about the Prankster Chair. They've enjoyed its antics. And more importantly, they would certainly know the culprit if they one day arrived at work only to have a well timed Surprise Sinkhole take their breath away and cause them to hurt their elbow.
So, Prankster Chair, it's you and me...until I win the lottery and I buy the sweetest office chair ever!
