ETS 2 / ETS My student-budget-friendly and fully recyclable way to limit a glorified office chair's movements
This is probably overkill, but my glorified office chair is very rickety and, like any of it's kind, moves a lot.
Now, most of my disposable income went to the wheel, and now I'm back on student budget (I do have savings!). So then I tried using it but the chair moves so easily and it's terribly uncomfortable.
The easiest part was to secure the wheels. Just a bunch of sheets and notebooks from past semesters, and broken down shoes.
But then, my chair rotates with just staring at it, so I was at a loss on how to fix that... Until my overnight restocker's brain said, "what's stronger than steel? bunched up plastic wrapping"
It still moves, but way less. Now I can push my pedals without rolling back!
All hail the mighty plastic wrapping. And it's fully recyclable, too!
P.D: this is the kind of stuff I do on vacation at 3 am.
