I wonder how many divorces started at Ikea
 

We went shopping there yesterday and by the time we had made it half way through the maze, we witnessed so many fights between couples I lost track. We managed to only snipe once or twice at each other (and we aren't the sort that fight at all normally) before check out too.

They should have DIY divorce kits on sale at the checkout.

wow - that's interesting

maybe it's TOO efficient! LOL

Ikea is sweet, how can anyone get angry there? Back when I was like 18-19 living in the city a bunch of friends would get together and party it up Saturdays, crash all over the place at somebody's apartment, then we'd mob the Ikea for 50 cent hotdogs, and lounge around hungover in the display beds. They had this awesome hotdog vendor right inside the door for some completely unknown reason. It was pretty slick.

Good times. Nothin but fond memories of Ikea, lol...

that explains a lot about you......

i haven't been in an Ikea for at least 12 years. but it was great during uni, and when i first moved out. i always loved their cheese sticks they had at the cafateria.

I went to my first Ikea 2 days ago and it was too busy and they made you walk around following arrows. Fuck that. Still very impressive the whole size of things there.

how so exactly? you should start taking notes on how to live like a brokeass, you'll be craving 50 cents hotdogs soon enough. pay attention and maybe you'll learn something useful. only difference between you and i, is that i was 18 years old fresh out of school working at fucking hmv and broke ass, you're a grown ass man and still a bankrupt fucking moron...

don't worry though little buddy, if times get tough just let me know and i'll paypal you some cash for ramen. i'm a nice guy like that...

how's that brilliant new idea of yours coming along?

See, this guy knows what I'm talking about...

I never make it past the meatballs and lingonberry soda..yumm

oh yeah, the meatballs rocked too!

Yeah I think it is something to do with the one way system that gets people worked up. Especially when it is as a busy point in the store. There was one guy with his kid that was going the wrong way and the kid said 'Dad, we are like salmon swimming up stream!'

I think it is super smart how they make you see everything in the store before you can get out. I always am like a kid in a candy store in their kitchenware department.

I LOVE IKEA kitchenware, but we have no IKEA store here yet :(

if they get divorced because of ikea furniture...then they are better off apart anyway..lol

Oh god I hate that cheap snap together Ikea garbage

lol..I don't think it is the furniture itself..it is something about the way the traffic flows..people get bitchy with each other

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

i hate ikea. i hate the arrows. their furniture looks like shit. the end.

how many got divorced putting together the furniture?

Lol I've seen that too, Ikea sucks and that's why the people who go there are crunky...

Fuck that place. Seriously.
Head aches I tell ya. You go there with your girl to buy a couch, you end up with a shit ton of junk you don't need and NO couch.

On top of that shit never fits.

AND indeed the reason I ended up with all that shit is because the woman was willing to argue about that shit in public, which is not how I roll. I bought that shit for her and have been giving her shit for it the minute we got home. From there on she could take her own bloody credit card and bring some friends. BAH.

I'm single now by the way, go figure.

Its smart for Ikea to encourage divorce. Two seperate residences = twice the furniture sales.
WG

burnnnnn

ikea? i only go there for the meatballs.

For some, any excuse to get a divorce so why not blame it on furniture

I love Ikea. Cheap as hell and the do it yourself kits are fun. The food is nice too.

its very normal, now a days, they think too fast so the answers are many divorces,,congrats thats the freedom

:1orglaugh

you just got to be able to figure out the shortcuts... and there are some :upsidedow
But I do love to wander through sometimes... and I do love their kitchenware department too :thumbsup

Sarah Pretty sure I watched some study on 20/20 or some news show that covered a documentary about divorce rates,h rates, fighting, and bickering. The studies in a large pool of couples followed all showed that those that bickered often and occasionally fought in non physical way not only lived longer lives. They also were less likely to get divorced or see out and get counseling services.

there stuff is junk for the most part.

i hate shopping - so when i moved here without any furniture i went only to Ikea once, bought all my stuff between entrance and exit and was done.

So, we should fight more and especially at Ikea?

We aren't saints just generally don't do the public fight thing.
