A year or so ago, in perfect southern tradition, I drove by an old crappy chair someone had put on the side of the road for the garbage collector and I was all “But that’s a good chair!” So I slammed on the brakes, backed up, and threw someone else’s garbage into the back of my truck. I brought it home and showed it off to my husband, who can’t say much to me cuz he is collecting all kids of crap in our warehouse. Then determined to fix it, I cleaned it up. I replaced the padding, reupholstered the seat, I even cut out a new piece for the back that was missing so no one would fall through. I was pretty proud of my thriftiness and the hubs decided to use it in his shop for his desk chair. Flash-forward 2 years as the Hubs, in apparent Goldilocks fashion, planted his butt on the seat only to find himself planted on the floor 2 seconds later wondering what the hell happened! This time I’ll let it be thrown out. Although I do wish someone had a video camera on him at the time, cuz that must’ve been some funny shit right there.
