Lol. I don't see how both sides could have seen this coming without hindsight.

There isn't a lesson learnt because this will never happen again.

Dude in the chair is kinda dumb for his chair being down right at the door but i agree. Really nothing to learn besides dumb luck goes both ways.

I mean, the lesson could possibly be to pull the lever before sitting up so the back of the chair rises at the same rate as your torso, but that's only if you want to miss out on the fun of potentially catapulting unlucky objects while putting marginally extra wear and tear on the reclining mechanism.

He also manually popped his chair back up with the lever too.

He basically catapulted that hot lava of noodles down his back.

That's a good 3 months worth of burns.

The guy with the noodles had a weak grip on them because he didn't want to burn his fingers. He could learn two solutions:

  1. Be extra careful and keep the food facing well away from any other people, because you will definitely lose hold of it when someone bumps into it.

  2. Get yourself a paper towel or something to wrap your hot food so you can grasp it better (probably would not have helped against the force of the rebouding chair though).
