Today, while feeling sick, I decided to go to a furniture store to sit down for a few minutes. I'm now the proud owner of an expensive, vomit-stained recliner. FML

OP here, just a bit of background to the story: I've had a sore throat for a few days, and I'm actually in the market for a recliner so I thought, "I'm not gonna let a sore throat hold me back from getting out!" As I was sitting down and feeling the chairs, I felt an overwhelming dizziness and nausea, and before I knew it, I puked all over myself and the seat of the recliner. Turns out I have a stomach bug now. FML x2... I am getting it cleaned though, so it should be good as new! I enjoyed the comments; Thanks a lot guys!!! :)

Today, during my work shift at the furniture store, a random dude barfed all over our expensive recliners. FML

Honesty, YDI. If you felt sick you should have found a trash can or a bathroom. Common sense.

I once puked on a customer. In my defense I was four months pregnant. Thank God I didn't have to buy him...

Recliner, huh? So you couldn't hold it long enough to lean towards the floor?

some people arent able to hold in vomit like that. I have never been able to no matter how hard I try.

83- I'm actually pretty good at doing that. I can usually be downstairs and make it upstairs in time to go to the toilet and vomit.

But why would OP go in in the first place. Surely going into a store is the only logical decision... Really OP, really? You deserve it for making completely irrational decisions.

This one's going to have to be a YDI. When you're feeling sick, it's probably not the best idea to go and sit in a room full of brand new and expensive furniture that doesn't belong to you. Go to some public toilets or at least the bushes!

There's no law in the US that forces you to purchase merchandise that you unintentionally destroy. You could've walked out of the store, and they wouldn't have been able to do anything about it.

#23 it kinda is a law. Because if you break something, you need to pay for it because they just lost an item in their inventory, because the company would lose money if you hadn't had to pay for it

I'd like either one of you to find a law, anywhere in the US, that states anything close to "you break it, you buy it". Good luck.

If you accidentally break something in a store, you may be liable under the law of negligence But this is not to say that you can go ahead and do your bull-in-a-china-shop routine with impunity. If you accidentally break something in a store, the question of whether and how much you owe the store will be determined by the law of negligence, which, like contract law, differs from state to state, and country to country.

And is not criminal law. That's civil law, and will NOT get you arrested.

Are you serious? It would be considered vandalism, if anything. OP damaged store property.

I think #43s point is that the actual legal statute differs from state to state. Opinions not withstanding, OP may not have been liable for anything but a mean glare from the manager.

But there are laws for vandalism. If You break something and leave without paying, the store could easily charge you with destruction of property. It would be best to pay for it rather than getting charged for it.

To everyone arguing about what the law says- since when does nobody care about doing what is right??? Op broke it through negligence (i.e. not going to the bathroom when feeling sick) so OP paid for it. That is the right thing to do. Shouldn't we do what is right?

Why did you go to a furniture store instead of your own house?

Do you live next door to a furniture store? Most people don't.

I get the feeling that OP was out shopping and started to feel not so hot so they wanted to sit down at the next place available, which happened to be a furniture store. I also get the feeling that OP thought sitting down would help their nauseousness subside enough for them to drive home. I highly doubt they felt sick enough to the point of throwing up when they first sat down. I know I've had times where I'm fine one second, and then the next second I'm lucky if I find a trashcan to vomit into the next. I'm betting that's what happened with OP. "hmm I'm not feeling so good I'll sit down for a bit before driving, see if that helps me feel better.......................... Oh sh-BLEH!" something around those lines.
