  • A few weeks ago, I hosted a little get-together at my apartment. Nothing wild-just some drinks, music, and a few friends hanging out. The night was going great until my friend Kayla (23F) had a very unfortunate accident.
  • She had a little too much to drink, and at one point, she tripped over absolutely nothing and went face-first into my glass coffee table. It didn't shatter, but she smacked her forehead so hard
  • that she ended up with a huge bruise and a mild concussion. We took care of her, got her some ice, and she laughed it off once she sobered up.
  • But ever since then, she's been obsessed with the idea that my coffee table is "cursed." She swears she didn't just trip- she says she felt something push
  • her. Like a force yanked her forward, guiding her straight into the glass. At first, I thought she was joking, but she was de d serious. She keeps saying the table has "bad energy" and that it's trying to hurt people.
  • She even went as far as to "test" it by making our friend Ryan stand near it while she tried to feel if there was a weird vibe coming off of it. Ryan said it just felt like a normal table.
  • But now, Kayla refuses to come over unless I get rid of it. She says I'm "inviting bad luck" into my home by keeping it and that my apartment will never have peace as long as it's here.
  • The thing is... I love this coffee table. It was expensive, it matches my décor perfectly, and -aside from Kayla's self-inflicted head injury-it has never done anything remotely dangerous.
  • I told her I'm not throwing away my furniture over one drunken accident, and she got really offended. She said I was invalidating her experience and that I was "choosing a table over a friend." I told her she was being ridiculous, and now she's barely speaking to me.
  • A few mutual friends think I should just sell it to keep the peace, but I feel like this is a stupid hill to di on. It's a piece of furniture, not a demon. AITAH for refusing to get rid of my "cursed" coffee table?
  • NyxMirage Your coffee table isn't cursed -Kayla just had too many drinks. If we got rid of everything we tripped over while drink, we'd all be living in empty rooms. She'll get over it eventually!
  • Jen0507 NTA. And there's genuinely no way I'd sell a coffee table I love because my drink friend fought gravity and lost. Like what?!
  • Daisy Spring2024 NTA "keeping the peace" usually means giving in to unreasonable demands from unreasonable people.
  • FreyaGlowy You are not the a h le. One drunken fall does not make your coffee table a portal to the underworld, and if Kayla is letting superstition dictate your friendship, that is her problem, not yours.
  • DamnitGravity Wow. That's a long way to go just to not have to admit you got ranked and did a stupid. That's the kind of certainty that could create a new religion. NTA
  • Dragon Queen_666 NTA. Your friend is being super weird to avoid drawing attention to the fact she was stumbling drink. Tell her that you're keeping the coffee table and that you're sorry she's choosing alcol over a friendship.
  • SpareMind If only she had few more drinks, she could even had seen the ghost that cursed the coffee table.
