Four to the floor, I was sure…

By jalapeno_popper - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - Canada

Today, I learned the hard way why they say "four on the floor" at school. I leaned too far back while rocking in the chair and fell off. I grabbed the desk to save myself, and it came down too. FML

OP, you have not heard the horror stories teachers tell about students leaning too far back and the consequences. I've heard about death, paralyzation, mental damage, and some other things.

I understand your pain. I'm right handed and got stuck with the only left handed desk in one of my classes. I couldn't write.

balancing on two legs of the chair is enough, but rocking on it? ydi, and btw, noone is going to have sympathy for you.......

I agree with #2 YTDI that's just really annoying how students do that.

Actually, 'four on the floor' refers to the typical four speed manual transmission that was no longer on the steering column, and was instead put as a stick shift on the floor. You simply learned that you have no sense of balance, and that you're retarded. :D

ACTUALLY, when used in a school setting "four on the floor" means keep all four legs of your chair on the floor. Far too many people rock back in their chairs and end up hurting themselves.

actually, it can be both. don't be mean because someone brought out an obvious second meaning. or just maybe some of us aren't stupid enough to lean back ion chairs and have to hear that saying.
