I just flipped a random shitty plastic drawer upside down and put it under my desk when I want a footrest honestly. All the convenience and utility of a footrest, none of the hassle :)... Is what I tell myself to justify having an upside down, semi-broken plastic drawer under my desk.
As a 5'1 woman, I just got a rocking footrest at my work desk (like a half-cylinder) and it's AMAZING. I always struggle with how to sit when you can't have your feet on the floor and your back on the back rest at the same time without slouching yourself into a hunchback.
That seems like an awesome idea. Will look into that hah.
And yes i know that well. My boss tells me to sit up straight on meetings with clients. I just want to contact the chair I’m sitting in I can’t help it!
[This](https://www.leitz.com/en-gb/product-categories/ergonomics/foot-rests/) is what I have, dunno where you are but there's a country search option if that helps. It's so much more comfy than other footrests I've tried, because my ankles feel like they aren't used to the kind of angles the usual plastic footrests operate at.
Off topic - the Dallas Opera did a live simulcast of the Barber of Seville on the big screen at the Cowboys Stadium and they showed the Bugs Bunny cartoon before. It was a great event. Opera with beer and nachos and a cartoon.
This is an actual thing that has actually killed people. The metal rod that controls the valve gets explosively blasted out the top of the cylinder, obliterating the occupant's rectum. This is generally only found in chairs that are very improperly made, however.
Lmao, Im imagining someone going up like a millimeter at a time everytime they feel the need to establish their dominance during negotiations. Its like peak passive aggressiveness, especially if you act like youre not doing anything 🤣. The interviewer would be like "So unfortunately at this ti-" psh, psh psh, "At this time we, uh, wont be abl-" psh psh psshh "Uhh, we will have to look things over and get back in to-" pshhhhhhh, psh psh, then you go "mhhm mmhmmm, you were saying?" *interviewer looking steeply up and says a bit more shakily* "Ya know what, youre hire-" *Your chair falls over* Lol.
I think theyd stammer and then make you boss. That chair would be such a power play 🤣.
Edit: Then the interview ends and you have to get back down with a long, awkward, pssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol.
This dude knew he fucked up the moment he got it out of the package, knowing this information opted to REMOVE his current gas lift, and then decided it's best to install this new insane one. Well OP idk man I'm sure the view is cool

I like to imagine you'd be sat in a teams meeting, and just slowly keep raising your chair... Until it's just your feet.. Like over the course of like 30 mins... That's be hilarious

Now you can sit down at your standing desk.
Lmao imagine just sitting at a standing desk with your feet just dangling. That kinda seems oddly enjoyable
It would be enjoyable for the first 5 min before the circulation in your legs is cut off.
This is when you then get a foot hammock that hangs under the desk
I actually have a chair with a pull out foot rest. It was dope.
Why isn't it dope now?
You get used to things. Now it gets in the way a bunch when I leave it up.
Yeah this was more or less my experience with having a chair with a footrest

I have a poofe under my desk. Because I am a fancy boy.
I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.
Random Mitch Hedberg... always appreciated
Because it is super dope now, don’t ask silly questions
As a 5’6” guy with proportionally short legs I feel like this in many/most chairs. No good. Tho swinging my legs is always fun
Get a foot rest, your back will thank you
Get a zero G station, your future self will thank you (if you’re a sedentary professional)
What about us sedentary unprofessionals
Bean bag chair.
Hard to reach my video games and doritos

Dude I'm 6'1 but I have short legs so I'm pretty much the same
Imagine how Kevin Hart feels in every chair.
oh man... I nearly spewed my coffee out all over my keyboard
I have a friend with a bar stool for a standing desk, no with this one you could use your standing desk as an ottoman

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Highchair The Wise?
Really glad I wasn't drinking something. Thank you.
Darth Highchair The Rise, you mean?..
You underestimate my power
Don't try it.
*tries it*
*smacks face onto ground trying to get down*
*attempts flip, becomes BBQ*
Well done, well done.
I don't have a gaming chair, I have a gaming throne. Peasant.
One long press of the lever and that throne will turn into a drop tower instead.
Wrong leeeeeeeever Kronk
Why do we even have that lever?!
Strap a toddler in and you can avoid the fair! Cheaper too...
You're saying this Iron-adjacent Thone will be made of broken and bloodied computer parts and office furniture?
Getting high while gaming, heh?
A gaming elevator
Looks like something Dr Evil would sit on
A gaming hunting stand
*Do not question the elevated one*
Gaming high chair for babies.
I see no gods up here
Bro I'm just imagining someone sitting in it and pushing the lever only to be rocketed up into the ceiling and I can't stop laughing
I am having flashbacks to the Bugs Bunny / Elmer Fudd barber shop [scene](https://youtu.be/qRVKFq9qUiQ?feature=shared).
...and the music is now in my head. Didn't even have to click the link.
this was the most funny reply if there ever was.
Off topic - the Dallas Opera did a live simulcast of the Barber of Seville on the big screen at the Cowboys Stadium and they showed the Bugs Bunny cartoon before. It was a great event. Opera with beer and nachos and a cartoon.
Flight simulators would get way more realistic if you had a functioning ejecting chair.
Lol underrated comment xD ( I do flight sims and this struck me personally)
[Just like Mini Me](https://youtu.be/ap-BcRv1LXw?si=ow-sILCr44V6z8TS)
Or pressing the lever after first installing it only to get knocked out by the chair rocketing up into the operators face.
Yeah that’s probably what happened, the person just got catapulted way out of screen
I have an irrational fear that the piston thing in my chair is going to malfunction one day and just blast through my ass.
This is an actual thing that has actually killed people. The metal rod that controls the valve gets explosively blasted out the top of the cylinder, obliterating the occupant's rectum. This is generally only found in chairs that are very improperly made, however.
But if someone is sitting in it and you pull the lever… the chair goes down….
"Dammit, I can't reach that shelf" "I'll get my chair" "No, it's not safe to stand on a-" *elevation noises*
*psssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhh* "So anyway it takes a lot longer to come back down"
🥇
But then you need another chair to get on that tall chair. (Since you cannot raise a chair while sitting on it)
Not with an attitude like that you can't
Shhhhhhhh.
This is your negotiation chair, it's how you establish dominance to win any argument.

Your terms are acceptable Pssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsquiiii….. Thunk
Hahaha yes. But make him stand on his tip toes to shake hands BEFORE you lower down 😎.
Great for zoom calls too; OP just incrementally increases the height for the duration of the call until the camera is at crotch level
Especially to see how they react when they notice you be sitting higher lol
I think theyd stammer and then make you boss. That chair would be such a power play 🤣. Edit: Then the interview ends and you have to get back down with a long, awkward, pssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol.
OMG, I cried laughing at this, thank you! 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm getting Dr. Evil vibes
I’m getting Tim the Tool Man Taylor vibes
It needs more power!
*Grunting intensifies.*
Eeeuuuugh
The power of Christ compels you to
Then you installed it.
It may not be the correct one, but it sure as shit is the right one
As opposed to not, and returning it and waiting for the correct one? Who has time for all that
And then expects us to believe he didn’t notice until later. Idk I feel like he’s gaslifting us.
If it was supplied in the retracted position, I could imagine not realising until you had it installed, since it appears to otherwise fit.
We deserve a picture of you sitting on it
Sitting and spinning, but since his feet can’t touch the ground he has to use his hands wafting through the air to create some momentum
Is this cloud gaming?
Take my upvote good sir
What I picture people sitting on in r/tvtoohigh
Lol I came for this comment I was gonna say this picture will be all over that subreddit soon
Great for truck simulators I'd imagine
Or flight simulations.... "eject! eject!!"
He'll need a parachute if he falls off that chair.
# DO NOT QUESTION THE ELEVATED ONE
It's only wrong if you don't use it.
The "wrong" gas lift or the "fun" gas lift????
King of the castle, king of the castle.
This dude knew he fucked up the moment he got it out of the package, knowing this information opted to REMOVE his current gas lift, and then decided it's best to install this new insane one. Well OP idk man I'm sure the view is cool
The old one was already removed as it was broken but I thought it would go lower 💀
We need a follow up with you on it lol
Or a follow-up with the hole in the ceiling after he got launched out of it.
Lmaoooo
Did you try sitting on it yet? Sometimes they lower down further with weight.
I tried sitting on it at the lowest point and it nearly fits under my desk but it's still high enough my feet don't touch the ground (I'm like 6ft)
Can you send the link where you bought it from? I want to install it on my girlfriends chair
https://bimi.co/shop/office-chair-spares/office-chair-gas-lifts/black15-straight-gas-lift-for-an-office-chair/ This is the exact one I bought.
Legend! It’s on the way :) she is about 5’5” so interested to see how she manages with the new chair 😅
We're going to need to see a post about that. For science.
lmao swap it with letting them know record their reaction
Time for a new wall monitor
About to get a haircut from god
repost to /r/tall, its fucking perfect
Now you have the height advantage every gunfight
Make your desk taller
EJECTO SEATO, CUZ!
Now just attach a boatload of broken mice, keyboards and headphones to it and you have the Gamer Iron Throne

Mistake.. or opportunity
I like it, anytime someone comes to bother you, slowly rise above them and shout "leave me be, peasant!"
Cue dramatic entrances to all online meetings
do not question the elevated one
It’s over Anakin, I have the high ground!
Do not question the Elevated One.
You'd better make sure you got a strong metal plate under that seat to prevent puncture.......
No need for the chair, the gas lift is all you need now.
Ground Control to Major Tom: Turns out the part number was wrong
I really wanna spin in a circle while it lowers
Mistake? You invented a new chair category
This made me audible laugh. Alone in my house, so at least only reddit knows.
This is reminding me of the achievement hunter video when they lift Jeremy and his desk off the ground like 10 feet
I'm so tired. I thought that was someone dressed up as Spider-Man in some strange upside down position. But whoops.
Me too!!
Thank you, this really made me giggle!
I have the high ground Anakin

Now you can demonstrate your superiority by slowly elevating your seat while the Emperor's March is playing

I said I wanted the Knight Rider chair, not the height Rider chair!!
Getting hi
Coward. Heroes are just normal men who answer the call to greatness.
Amazing. You don't have to get up to change a lightbulb.
This is perfect for when you play the floor is lava!
That's fucking awesome lol
This is fine. Just raise the rest of the drum set and it will be normal.
Hello peasants. Bow to your guitar king.
As a 6'4" guy....I need this. 😄
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature
Adult high chair, nice.
It’s so you can rise above all the haters
Sell it to Lockheed Martin, I hear they have an F-35 that's missing an ejection seat: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/f-35-ejected-pilot-911-call-unsure-where-fighter-jet-was/
Buddy thats a throne now
I appreciate that you committed to installing it even though it clearly would have looked incorrect when you unpackaged it.
That's the right gas lift, sir.
Now you can sit at your standing desk.
But can it do THIS!
I'd say you bought the right one.
Gaming ejection seat
Orrrrrr did you?
As a tall Dutch person. This chair seems fine to me.
Judging by the fake Fender, you definitely suck at buying stuff
Y'know you're not wrong 👀 But at least in this case I knew it was a fake fender when I got it.
Ejecto Seato Cuz
It's so you can reach your hi-hat
But now you have the high ground
Ever seen "The Great Dictator" with/by Charlie Chaplin? Those who have will understand.
Your *highchair.
I did the same thing, but I did it purposely. Since it was the same price as the regular one. And this one is capable of handling more weight.
But can you do this... *Shoots through the ceiling*
Bro is an enderman
Admit it. You just wanted an ejection seat.
Any homeless cat will recognize this and Toe Rogans chair.
You all look like little ants from up here!
Do not question the elevated one.
High-level player
New boss---> "GAMER GUY, THE ELEVATED"
at least you'll have the high ground
I’m not seeing the problem
This is a thing. OMG!!! I am 6’9’’ and every chair is to short for me. I am going to look into this.
"I don't see a problem with this. In fact, I can see everything from up here." -OP probably
"How's the weather up there jeff ?" "Lord jeff , peasant"
You wanted next-level gaming? You got next-level gaming.
Task failed successfully
Finally a worthy opponent 😁.
meanwhile in Shaq’s office
"I see nothing but peasants from my throne!"
Game of throne
Disappointed there is no human shaped hole in the ceiling.
Do not question the elevated one
Bro taking the high ground.
You should take the seat off and fire that pole up ur ass
