    yeh, never be embarrassed to admit REAL LIFE...everybody puts their pants on one leg at a time. And I'm almost positive that aliens are fatter than us.

    I always think that saying about pants is funny. me, hubby, the kids, we all get our pants on the same way. both legs in at the same time.. we sit on the edge of the bed, put both feet in, tip backward with our feet in the air, pull them on. jump up and shimmie our butts into them. is this weird???

    re: breaking stuff, I've only snapped buttons off my back pockets by scraping door frames.

    I'm a 300lbs plus monster! I have broken my fair share of things. Chairs plastic and folding, lawn furniture, trampolines, tables, toilet seats, couches, bikes, golf carts, office chairs (the one I'm currently sitting in), you name it and it has buckled under me at some point! But you really do start to be able to judge what you can and can not sit on!

    I don't think mine was due to weight ( I was approx 135-140lbs) but I was walking on a side walk in my brand spanking new sexy boots when suddenly the heel totally broke off. One minute I felt pretty damn hot and the next I felt like an idiot as I hobbled quickly to my car hoping not to be seen. LOL!

    I can count two toilet seats broken, one was really old and plastic and the other was one of those cheapo plastic cushioned ones with plastic hinges with a hole so small because of the padding you felt like you were peeing/pooping into a tin can. I complained to my mother but she insisted on replacing it with another padded seat. Thank god I don't live there anymore.

    I also broke my dad's 20 yr old lazy boy, but it was so old and worn the bolt inside had come unscrewed and when i flopped into it the bar came undone underneath, that was easily fixed, but everyone still blamed me for breaking the chair lol.

    Ok, this story isn't about me but it's way too funny not to share. One of my good friends since high school is a big guy. We were at the softball fields and he was walking on the wooden bleachers when *blam* suddenly he falls through and his waist up is sticking out through the broken planks. Fast forward a couple of years. We are at my house having a b-b-q. We are sitting in a circle of chairs and he is regaling us (he is a hilarious guy and great story teller) with the story of his shameful fall through the bleachers - and I am seriously not making up this spot on comedic timing - as he is in the middle of his "fell through the bleachers" story his chair breaks and he crashes to the ground. Funniest. Thing. Ever!

    I was at an event and sat down on a reception type of chair and the leg bent right under, but I was 135 pounds at the time?

    I also sort of broke a doctors chair last week, the round rolling sort, and am now 145? The seat just plumb out dropped

    At home I sit on a laundry basket, the plastic sort and I broke one once

    I don't think it's just you. My toilet seat keeps coming off the hinges also. Wow, I thought it was just me. Good to know I'm not alone :)

    My husband has experienced furniture collapsing under him several times when he was almost 300lbs. Now, he's 220 and he doesn't have that problem any more. Most furniture and ladders and things are rated for 250lbs, so if you are above that, you might experience the limitations of it's structure.

    Most of the time, I didn't mind inspecting the quality of things a little closer for my hubs, but there was one time when we were still in college that a lecture hall row of seats fell apart while we were sitting and I think that was pretty embarrassing. We just laughed it off and moved to the next row. The seats were old, but they still should have been able to hold us up. We were the only two on the row, so it was bound to happen sooner or later, whether or not it was us that sat down.

    I had gotten the biggest stability ball I could find. Made for really tall people, etc. So I blow this thing up last night and go to sit on it and I swear I almost bottomed out on the floor. My bf and I just looked at each other and cracked up. I was so glad it didnt explode, but the tension running through that bad boy at the time of impact made me kinda nervous. I swear the ball was visibly trembling under the strain! My bf helped me up, and it shot out from under me straight to the other side of the room (like it was running away or something). Ah well! :ohwell:

    When I was heavier I did break a plastic chair sitting on it too hard.

    Yeah. I broke my husband's brand new office chair, after years of being so careful about what I trusted with my weight. I lost 130 lbs, and then broke his new chair--the air/shock adjustable part. Yeah, the humiliation was pretty intense, though I try not to think about it too much. If I hadn't lost weight, it wouldn't have happened because I wouldn't have sat on the thing. I just thought I'd lost enough. I was wrong :-/

    The word is S******ED, and it's not a racial thing.

    It's a perfectly acceptable and "real" word that has nothing to do with the racial slur--look it up, folks.

    Ok, I guess this varies by country. In North America, it's snicker. Sorry. The word that is being filtered is a word that makes me uncomfortable, but I see that the word that makes me uncomfortable is not what was intended.

    I had horrible luck on vacation one year! We were staying at a friends cabin and decided to have a bonfire. Brought a bunch of old lawnchairs out of the garage not knowing that they had been sitting for years. First I sat in a plastic chair, that broke. I moved to a fabric style one and that broke! Finally I gave up and went to sit on a tree stump only to find out it was dead and dry when a chunk of it fell off when I sat on it! Lesson learned, should have grabbed a rock like everyone else! lol My kids teased me forever but at least I knew it was old dry furniture that was the culprit!

    I broke my uncle's antique guest bed when visiting him. I was mortified and weighed less than I do now. I live in fear of breaking a restaurant chair.

    I broke a hammock last summer the ropes actually broke sending me to the ground, a step on a ladder that was a scary moment, a metal folding chair folded up on me like a piece of tinfoil and those plastic lawn chairs are my worst enemy if they dont break my big hips would get stuck in them,My grandma got stuck in the turnstyle at the racetrack that was bad and scarred me for life I hate those things.

    My chair at work creaks and clicks all the time. I'm not sure if it's because of me or if it was like that when I started but it makes me feel fat =(

    And I've broken a bed frame but that was less contributed to weight, and more contributed to motion :blushing:

    Exercise ball. One minute I was doing sit-ups on my exercise ball the next my back was crashing to the hard floor. It's a pretty rotten feeling breaking workout equipment because you're so fat.

    I know someone that tripped over an exercise ball and broke her shoulder from the fall. Scary part is that she's probably an average weight. Those things are dangerous!!!!

    As far as what I've broken, toilet seats, chairs, a bed frame, lawn furniture, etc.

    At my all-time heaviest, about 15 years ago, I was just minding my own business, sitting on a farm-style wood dining room chair. Suddenly, I'm on my *kitten* on the floor, not realizing for a few seconds what had just happened. All 4 legs of the chair just gave out, splayed out in 4 directions, and I'm still sitting on the chair seat. On the floor. Somehow, I did get punctured in the butt by a screw from one of the chair legs, and it ripped a hole in my favorite pair of flannel jammie boxers. My daughters and I could not stop laughing, even as I picked myself up and saw a stream of blood running down the back of my leg. Ahhhh, good times!
