Male Netizen Shares Hilarious Fall-from-Chair Experience During Office Nap
A male netizen has shared how his office nap went wrong when he accidentally fell off a chair while taking a nap.
Recently, Enough_Lingonberry98, a Reddit user, shared how he accidentally fell off a chair while taking a quick nap in their office pantry. The post quickly circulated on social media and elicited comments from the online community.
It all started during his lunch break when he decided to rest for a bit in a quiet corner. He hadn’t had much sleep the night before because he stayed up watching random YouTube videos. Feeling drowsy, he sat down on a chair without a backrest, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
Suddenly, the male netizen fell straight off the chair and landed on the floor. With several officemates nearby, he quickly decided to pretend he fainted instead of admitting he just fell asleep and lost balance.
His coworkers rushed to help. Someone brought water, while another called the office nurse. Feeling like there was no turning back, he stayed on the floor and acted weak and confused. He even asked for water, trying to keep up the act.
He was brought to the clinic where they checked his blood pressure and pulse. Everything was normal, so he explained that he hadn’t eaten breakfast or lunch, which sounded like a believable excuse for fainting.
When he returned to his desk, he could barely look anyone in the eye. Though some colleagues acted normal, he could still feel the silent teasing. One even messaged to check on him, which made him smile through the shame.
Here is the full post:
“Di ko pa rin talaga akalaing mangyayari sakin to.
One day sa office, sobrang antok ko. The night before kasi, I fell down the YouTube rabbit hole watching random videos. Anyway, lunch break na, umupo ako sa pantry area para magpahinga saglit. Sa pinakasulok na area ako umupo, nakatalikod sa lahat. Ang sarap ng hangin from the AC, so ayun, mga five minutes pa lang akong nakapikit, hindi ko na namalayan na knockout na pala ako. Next thing I know, nahulog ako sa upuan. As in, bagsak. Bumulagta ako sa sahig.
May mga officemates sa paligid and syempre nagulat sila. Shet. Hiyang hiya ako. So ang ginawa ko, di muna ako bumangon. As in nagpanggap akong nahimatay. Nagstay talaga ako dun sa sahig.
Nagpanic sila. May kumuha ng water. May tumawag ng nurse from the clinic. At that point, too deep na ako. Wala nang atrasan. Umakting na lang akong confused at mahina nang bumangon. May pa-“water please…” pa ako. Oscar-worthy.
So ayun na nga. After nun, dinala ako sa clinic. Checked BP, pulse. Okay naman. Tinanong kung kumain ako. So sinabi ko hindi pa both breakfast and lunch kasi naisip ko yun yung pinakasafe na excuse.
Tangina, gusto ko na lang talaga lumubog sa sahig sa hiya. Parang gusto ko nalang umuwi kasi nakakahiya talaga, pero parang ayoko rin, kasi baka isipin nila sobrang lala talaga ng lagay ko. Gusto nga akong pauwiin early para raw makapagpahinga. Pero sabi ko okay na ako, need lang kumain.
Pagbalik ko sa desk, hindi ako makatingin sa mga tao. Yung iba kunwari chill lang, pero ramdam mo yung side-eye. May isa akong officemate na nagchat ng “Uy, okay ka na?” Napangiti na lang ako habang nagtatype, pero deep inside, gusto ko nang magfile ng immediate resignation. Hahaha.
Lesson learned: Kapag antok ka, matulog ka. Wag nga lang sa upuan na walang sandalan.”
