Woman blamed for her weight, after friend demanded she pay $250 for sitting on an antique chair that broke while she was on it, despite chair having already broken in the past: 'You're my biggest friend, it wouldn’t have happened to anyone else'

There are just certain things you shouldn't say aloud, as a friend and as a human being… like, telling your friend that they have to reimburse you for breaking their boyfriend's late grandmother's antique chair due to their "weight plopping down on it all at once" or calling them your "biggest friend." 

Even if you think it, it's time to find the key, lock your mouth, and throw the key away. Because it's not going to unlock a vintage door filled with dozens of antique chairs to replicate his grandma's, but what it will do is cause a potentially irreparable rift in your friendship! Part of being a good friend means trying to spare them any form of embarrassment, and we fear asking them for $250 to fix a chair that they broke, according to you, as a result of their heavier weight, might do quite the opposite. 

What makes this story even more cringeworthy is the fact that the chair was already faulty. Inciting a back-and-forth battle of 'was it me or the chair?'… We understand asking for reimbursement for something obviously broken by another person. However, if you're not quite sure who is at fault here —your lifelong friend or an over-100-year-old, Victorian-era chair, I think it's best to defend your friend over an inanimate object. It will save her many years of trauma…
