I've never been to an IKEA.....
Wonder if I want the adventure, and excitment.
Interesting reading, although for some reason I can't see the video, seems my mighty powerful pop-up blockers would not let it open, even when I turn them off....LOL
Perhaps somethings are not meant for my senile mind and eyes to see......

I like what you can get at Ikea but it's got to be the most frustrating stores to go to.

I always feel violent by the time I escape.

Too many people in too small a space.

This is exactly what Christmas shopping is like around here. The day after Thanksgiving, interestingly called "Black Friday", most stores open around 4 or 5 AM offering great deals. People line up outside several hours before stores open and then all at once rush in trying to snatch best bargains. Someone always gets hurt and some folks actually get into fisticuffs over things, mostly toys. Is it really worth it?

This sounds a bit like the last time my wife dragged me to Wal-Mart for a day after Thanksgiving sale. Guys take my advice, if you are ever asked to go to a sale like that try to slip on the ice or something. A trip to the hospital, or even the dentist, is better than fighting that mob.

And I thought only my local IKEA made me feel that way. Love the stuff, can't stand the clientele.

man, that's just awful. I don't like going to the mall as it is. I loathe Christmas shopping for those very reasons people always in a hurry and pissed off.
