Apparently the lampshade somehow also got you high last year.
Sign error. Funny. Haha. Good one consumerist!
If you have nothing nice to say…
…say it on the Internet.
You’re right. I wish they would stick completely with stories about people being thrown out of their homes or declaring bankruptcy. This light humor totally ruins the tone of the website.
That and double downs and BP oil spills.
Erserud sounds like a lampshade’s name.
I thought it was a Tolkein character.
Did Ikea merge with Target?
Are they going to start “Instant Substituting” wobbly CD racks for particle board bathroom cabinet doors?
To be fair, last year’s model came with 3 ounces of heroin and a wish.
LOL!
Maybe last years model had big, small, and ginormous light bulbs =)
I wish I could shop at IKEA with no more than 6 other customers in the whole store.
Last time, I wanted to look at desks and chairs and apparently thats where parents dumped off kids. Half a dozen kids on the chairs spinning each other around and yelling.
The line downstairs took about 45 minutes.
Couples were arguing.
Going to IKEA on a Saturday helps me to understand the high suicide rate in Scandinavia. It isn’t bad if you go on a weekday evening.
I love IKEA, but for some reason I always want to punch people when I’m there.
I’ve only been in Atlanta and San Diego…I will say Atlanta’s seemed to be A LOT worse in terms of people that didn’t look to see if there were people in the space that they were walking into.
Try going to the one in Frisco, Texas. It is the land of the self-entitled, Hummer driving, debt-ridden, McMansion whatevers. Truly an exasperating experience.
Been. Agree.
BTDT never again. The one in Plano/Allen is not so bad.
There’s not an Ikea in Plano or Allen. There’s only one in this part of Texas and it’s in Frisco.
FTR, I know that. My son works at the Frisco store.
But I replied to comments about Costco, not IKEA.
oh, dude – that’s my big gripe w/ costco. i seriously want to pour 512-oz. bottles of bleach in people’s eyes when i’m at that place.
& god forbid i get to an aisle where their giving away free samples of pete’s anchovy peanut spread. that’s like fighting rush hour traffic over the GWB.
Thank you. I could not agree more.
Couples were arguing.
Yeah, it’s a newlywed proving ground.
Is your marriage strong enough to take the Ikea challenge?
I am not advocating murdering anybody at Ikea or anywhere else, but I know it only takes on sympathetic juror who has been there to get me a hung jury,
$20 for an Ikea lampshade? Last time I went, I noticed their prices had gotten much higher. I know the point is that is used to “cost” $2000, sheesh, $20 for that? Really?
Indeed. I’ve seen that too.
I was in there a couple months ago looking for a quick, cheap nursing chair for my wife while the glider we had ordered elsewhere came in.
As it was for temporary use, I really didn’t want to spend more than $200, but anything that reclined with some cushioning was well over that..$350..$400..etc. Finally I settled on something around $120 that expected one to buy a $80 covering…which I didn’t.
IKEA (IKEA)/Just a boat and some chairs and a handful of Norsemen/IKEA (IKEA)/Selling furniture for college kids and divorced men…
What a deal! They cut the price by 00.
Last year’s model came with diamonds. But you had to affix them to the shade yourself using a non-standard screw driver.
But don’t you feel ‘shade’nfreude for anyone who bought one for $2k last year? I know I do.
