Dante was wrong.

There are ten circles of hell, not nine. The tenth being the second floor of Ikea on a saturday afternoon. For a reason I can only chalk up to insanity we decided saturday morning we needed a coffee table… setting us up for one of the worst shopping experiences of my life. Ikea must have been breaking some serious fire codes, as you could barely turn around without bumping into someone. It would have been physically impossible to spread your arms and make a complete rotation without slapping four or five people. And I won’t even bother describing the check-out line as it still makes me break out in hives thinking about it.
What’s worse, I’m now the not-so-proud owner of more ikea furniture… and then there was the impulse buy of the audrey hepburn lithograph on the way out.
What can I say… Ikea is evil and I’m weak.
hehe, and you want to come to tokyo? hehe, again.
you must be strong to fight the burning fires of hell that is ikea. sounds like you got away relatively unscathed.
someday I will give into the voices that tell me to eliminate all people with crying, screaming children at Ikea on Saturdays, wait, make that all people. Period…. tick tock tick tock…
Yiiikes, that sounds a bit dodgy B, I guess there’s not JYSK there? You should see if there is one around somewhere…Our stuff is just as good as theirs, God knows we get compared to them enough!
The Audrey Hepburn Litho sounds interesting tho….When did they start selling those there?
11 circles … the 77th Street station of the number 6 train in New York during rush hour on a hot summer day is number ten … Ikea at Wallau, midway between Frankfurt and Wiesbaden, on a Saturday afternoon is indeed the 11th circle.
