A woman has taken to social media to ask if she's in the wrong for asking her friend to pay £200 for a chair she broke while visiting her house - and the internet is divided
Purchasing an expensive item only to have a friend accidentally break it weeks later can be incredibly frustrating – and it's a delicate situation to handle.
"I love her very much and want her to feel at home at my place, so I made sure that my new chairs at the dining table were safe for her to use. But then she didn't really find them comfortable." The owner lamented the chair was "designer" narrating, "one of those cup-formed ones with thin brass legs, beautiful but not very stable". They detailed their recent purchase at a "designer outlet" for $250 , expressing attachment to the piece.
"I didn't say much at that moment. But the next day, I called her to ask about paying for the chair... She's is extremely angry now and our group of friends is split: some say that I'm wrong because her weight isn't her fault and she should be able to do what she likes regardless, otherwise it's discrimination, and also I should have told her absolutely not to sit on that chair if I wasn't sure it would support her.
They then questioned whether they were wrong for requesting their friend to replace the broken chair, and the consensus was that they weren't.
