Bizarre gifts – a Plinky prompt
I stopped them before they could go through with it, but two sweet, misguided, Irish friends of mine wanted to give me an orthopedic chair for my 40th birthday. Men! * rolls eyes*
They thought since I do computer work so much the chair would prevent me from hurting my back. One of them had recently got one since he had a bad back. Perhaps he was a little obsessed with it.
I gently talked them out of it and suggested a new computer would be a better, far sexier, idea.
