Clearly, this guy was part of the 2010's beanbag-as-office-chair trend.
Or the gym ball a few years before
You know, I feel like heels would make this even more awkward than it already is. How do you get any leverage?
You have to do kind of a combination of pushing down with your butt to get upward momentum, then pulling up with your abs. Then you keep it going with the two.
It's hell. And to get up, you grab the edge of the desk and pull. 0/10 Do not recommend.
And then the desk collapses because it's not real wood
I had an abusive ex who had one of those. The times I tried to sit on it, lost my balance, and landed painfully on the floor were, in retrospect, a pretty accurate microcosm for the rest of the relationship.
What about the late 90's kneeling chair fad?
Wow, first time I've seen that! I'm currently half-kneeling on my chair, so I'm kind of intrigued.
It's shit for any prolonged sitting.
Yes, but they were excellent for kneeling on backwards, with your chest on the seat when you, uh, had need of that particular position for whatever reason.
Or so I've heard.
From a friend.
...this is the solution to a problem I've been looking for an answer for. Thanks!
It really does work well. Just make sure you're facing a wall or can grab onto the desk. Otherwise you squeaky scoot across the room a little bit with every thrust
With ass on the knee part or backwards bend over, shoulders on the knee part?
Knees on the knee part, chest/stomach on the ass part, palms flat on the wall, special friend behind you.
This is the answer to questions I didn’t know to ask
These things are great my coworker had one and it looked interesting so I got one for myself. It was great for gaming as it puts you into a more power pose like if you were riding an Enduro motorcycle and since you get tired sooner you are more inclined to get up and be productive maybe
Oh my gosh my brother had one of those I almost forgot about that thing lmao
The Lisa Simspon chair.
