A floor collapsed beneath a group of about 20 members of Weight Watchers as they gathered to compare how many pounds they had shed over Christmas.
Members of the weight-loss club were lining up to compare readings on the scales when they heard a bang as the floor came away from the walls of their meeting room in Växjö in southern Sweden.
“We suddenly heard a huge thud – we almost thought it was an earthquake and everything flew up in the air. The floor collapsed in one corner of the room and along the walls,” one of the those present told the Smålandsposten newspaper.
They abandoned the room as the floor started to give way in other areas.
So, they waited until the rest of the floor started to collapse?

I resemble that remark.
Dammit at least they showed up for the meeting and are trying to shed pounds.
These stories always make me giggle. I’m an asshole, I know.
What no pictures of the floor? BOOOO.
No, ive seen this before, but not at this scale. A great big fat person will sit on a chair, and start to crush it, and they will remain sitting on the chair until it collapses then blame the shoddy construction of the chair.
Yeah, Uncle Dave..they’re not only disgustingly fat, they were stupid too. We’re not long from the island earthquake jokes now..
“So, they waited until the rest of the floor started to collapse?”
Well, the buffet was still there…
#2, #3, et al…
Comon DU, I know this writes itself, but step away from the chips.
BTW, how come no comments on the China vs Google dust up? That seems ripe DU material!
“as they gathered to compare how many pounds they had shed over Christmas.”
I’m guessing not enough pounds shed over Christmas…
Thats nothing, you shoulda heard about the meeting on the island.
#5, I worked with a guy like that. 6’1″ 320 lbs. The seat in his SUV broke and he bent the legs on his office chair . . . all within 3 months of getting them.
“I can’t believe they can’t make anything last anymore. Cheap, foreign made crap.”
“Um, your car seat was made in America.”
“Yeah, by foreigners!”
okaaaaay.
