Shopping for living room furniture. Some combo of chair, loveseat couch.

Talking to the smarmy sales dude, he looks at me funny when I tell him I don’t want powered furniture.

Tells me 85% of their showroom is powered. I can see where power might be a good option for the elderly or handicapped. But 85%?

He tried reassuring me by saying.... ten years ago, they froze up after a couple year. Now the electronics on them will last 6-10 years. AND there is a whole industry of electronic furniture repair so... no problem!

I that case, I’ll take five of each!

What the hell is happening?! Get off my lawn! 🌫

I'd tell him to **** off. Electric furniture is stupid.

I got the one with the built in microwave. I can make my popcorn and not have to leave the couch.

Yes, get off my lawn.

On another note... I saw a gorgeous 21' 4" Mako boat at Bass Pro yesterday. It was only $60,000. Didn't even have a fish finder / chart plotter. 🤐

The day I need electricity to recline my chair is the day you can just shoot me. 🌫

The Commie 13 invented electric furniture. #12 was against it.

Furniture that reclines seems.... lazy.

That's not even considering the powered option
