Do you list your address as IKEA on official documents? Does your diet consist mostly of Swedish meatballs and lingonberry sauce? Do you literally bless yourself before entering those holy blue and yellow gates?
You might've just gotten a little overexcited, so take a few moments to collect yourself, and let's be real about this. IKEA is a wonderful place, and no matter how many times we pay a visit, there always seems to be an endless array of new treasures to discover. Remember that time you went into IKEA because you just needed 'a few throw pillows'? Remember how you left with everything but throw pillows? REMEMBER THAT?
At the end of the day, one does not simply 'like' IKEA - you either live and breathe it, or you don't speak of it. The Internet users below would back us up 100%. Celebrate your obsession and add your most glorious IKEA moment to our list.

It really does seem like a maze in there. You think you are going through all the sections and you look to either side of you and there is an entire portion of the store you've not yet seen.

All superstores are like this. I swear you walk like 3 miles just to grab a couple of items! (and buy like 10 useless items in the process!)

Ikea's from the '50's. They invented the broken down furniture in boxes. Don't know if that was right away. Saw a documentary about them.

Yes, but they are only 25 years in the United States, I don't know about other countries.

Depending on what they bought, they could probably take the parts out of the box and fit it all in the car. I came across a woman crying in a parking lot because she had bought a futon and couldn't get it in her tiny car. I helped her open the box, put the frame bits in her trunk and stuffed the cushion in her backseat and stuffed the box in my van to take it to recycling (we live out in the country and take all our own garbage anyway, so no big deal for me). You just have to think... OUTSIDE THE BOX! ^_^

Those are crutches (the kind that you put your arms into). So if someone is throwing them away, it means they suddenly don't have need for them.

Probably not. If it was the tiny writing to right (top panel) & the left (lower panel) would be altogether and not split apart. I’m thinking that the person that put up the billboard did it on their own. But it is clever though. LOL
