Don't get me wrong, I mean, I'm good with my hands and all...
Apparently, computer chairs should not be used as amusement park rides. There really should be a warning label about that. If a chair tilts and rocks, swivels and rolls, really, what choice do I have but to zip around the linoleum? Perhaps the real problem lies in the fact that two grown adults should probably refrain from tilting and rolling, even if they manage to fit into the chair.
Bought a new computer chair last night, not the same style, but after repeatedly wiggling around in a variety of models at OfficeMax, I thought the new style was worth a try.
Now I have to put it together.
If this is the last post you see on this site, farewell my friends. I've been arrested for furniture homicide.

They are totally supposed to be used as rides. I mean, using them just for sitting is underestimating their usefulness. I lament the fact that my computer chair at home here is on carpet, so I can't go anywhere with it other than to spin. Which gets me dizzy.
Gotta echo Kato.
What's the point of an office chair if you're not going to cross your legs like a schoolboy, grab the edge of the desk to spin around, then bring your arms as close as possible to your body, to really turn that spin into overdrive?
Toys for adults. From the same religious teachings as "Never trust a man, who when left alone with a tea-cosy, does not try it on."
We had these chairs at my old place of employment that you could spin around on for minutes at a time before they slowed down. Try spending two minutes spinning in circles, then taking a phone call. Just be sure someone is ready to write down whatever crap happens to come out of your mouth.
Being able to tilt and spin at the same time, then shoot forward across the floor - good times.
I'm a computer geek by trade, and riding the computer chair is one of my favorite not-quite-work-related activities. I zip across the floor while spinning simultaneously, usually coming to a jarring stop when I hit the opposite wall at mach 0.2.
