I absolutely had lower productivity sharing a desk last time I was required to. The chair was always adjusted wrong. May as well just stay home. I'm not OCD but I've been seeing doctors for my back problems since I was 18 so frankly you're an ableist. Enjoy your health while you can.

Ableist because I didn't factor in that adjusting a chair is a horrific injustice? Can we just agree that that is ridiculous and absurd and comically dramatic?

The ADA legally mandates that accommodations be made for people that need them and if you're not in that category you're being ridiculous and if you are this doesn't even apply to you.

The chair doesn't get adjusted until it has already caused pain. Thanks for your concern.

Actually I'm going to lay into you for this. Do you have any fucking idea what its like to not be able to get an erection? Not to feel your legs, shoulders, or hips for days? To not be able to tell when you have to poop? And all it takes is a fucking $200 chair that they leave the fuck alone to be just fine? I don't need the goddamn ada. All I need is a little trial and error to get my spine aligned right so I can sit for 8 hours without "SUPRISE you cant feel your DICK" and then to have that chair left the fuck alone.

Dude you will be so fucked when you hit 60. You have no idea how much you will hate the world for the lack of consideration it shows you.

Ableist because you assume that either the effort of getting the chair / desk / monitor adjusted correctly is trivial, or the consequences of not adjusting are minimal.

You are being ableist right now.
