The Law of Ikea...

Forget the Laws of Physics, the Law of Nature, the Law of Attraction. The Law of Ikea trumps them all.

Proponents of the Law of Ikea are of the belief that no matter how much stuff they buy in Ikea, it will fit in their car regardless of how compact and bijou said car is.

And HERE my friends, is that Law in action.

Honestly, I bloody love the collection point of the Ikea car park. Hanging around there is comedy gold. If you can't be arsed / don't have the money / can't get time off work to go to the Edinburgh fringe and be entertained, just pitch up at Ikea and prepare to p`*ss your pants not just at the people scratching their heads as they try to fit a full size billy bookcase PLUS glass doors into a mini (no turning it the other way round won't make it smaller!!) but at the couples exiting the building ready to rip each others heads off! Something about Ikea just makes people's blood boil and loving couples entering the building an hour earlier leave on the verge of divorce and willing to go to court to fight for custody of the Poang chair and the Dime Bars.

Overheard today as I waited for David to get the car....

Red faced man with bulging eyes to woman with THIS lamp. " I am telling you now, that is NOT going in the living room!" Her reply "Aye whatever"

Woman 1 (as she lugged the third heavy box from the trolley as man stood and stared into space) - "Yer allowed tae help ye know. Ya big useless lump!" His reply "I'm thinking' aboot it."


Woman to man with 2 hot dogs - "If you don't eat your tea you can forget watching the footie!"
Him - "I will eat my tea!"
Her - "I know ye will ya greedy pig!"

Hahahahaha,....I was sorry when David turned up with the car!

Of course David and I never argue in Ikea. We're one of those couples where the man walks round with a resigned look on his face as the woman adds more candles, photo frames and glasses to the trolley but knows better than to say anything above all that.
