At a shop I used to work at, we had these old computer chairs with hard plastic seats. The plastic would flex and crack just forward of where the metal seat pan was, so when you sat down you'd inevitably apply a load to the front edge and open this crack up.

We joked these were Trump brand chairs given their tendency to grab ya by the pussy.
