Mine was our CRT TV. I would rapidly push the power button on and off because I thought the picture coming and going looked cool but eventually it fell inside of the TV. I think I later stuck a magnet on the TV.

    When I was a teenager my dad got a beautiful marble chess board. It was leaning on a wall, and when I picked it up it broke into two halves.

    My dad was really sad and angry at me, that board meant quite a deal to him. He always thought I mishandled it, regardless how I said I was careful.

    He died last November.

    I got sent a few boxes with his belongings, and when I opened one of them I found that chessboard. It is glued with epoxy.

    It sits in my apartment now, and I still don’t know if I want to keep it or get rid of it. One one hand it meant a lot to him, on the other hand it is one of the very rare things where I felt treated unfairly.

      I’d say that you should keep it.

      Except if you have anything of similar value already in posession in which case I can’t argue against or in favor.

      Definitely keep it! This is the most wholesome thing I’ve read today :)
