Does anyone else suffer from this when inside Ikea?.
I try to avoid the place like the plague , but my wife wanted some frames and insisted we get them from Ikea.
Everytime I end up travelling through their windowless maze of a place surrounded by crappy room designs , hundreds of names I can't pronounce matched with hundreds of people with their pencils and tape measures I get this overwhelming feeling of like a claustrophobic anxiety come over me. It starts off going through that stupid revolving front door of there's- I'm trapped from that moment until the exit.
I get flustered and highly anxious. It's awful and I don't get the feeling in any other store.
Am I the only one?

I just sit down by the jars of biscuits until she's finished.

In truth though what usually happens is I end up miles ahead as she has to mess around asking about specs and prices and delivery and warranties and all sorts of other unimportant rubbish while I look for the wheelie chairs.

Trying to alleviate Ikea anxiety is difficult indeed...especially at Bang Na as you walk to the atrium on the other side and see the bars and cry with hope and joy. Then you see the prices. |

Ikea lager is bloody expensive.
The picture frames are ok, but a local shop will make a frame for less.
Bought a chair to sit on the patio, pretending to be John Lee Hooker, strumming.

I don't know if I get anxious but I do get disoriented, which is never a good feeling.

I'm sorry, this has got nothing to do with Ikea, and I have never stepped foot in one in my life, but my wife and son and I went to the shopping centre on the Hang Dong-CM road yesterday and I had duck and pork at MK and it was very nice thank you.  Also went to Homepro and bought some 4" cut-off discs for my small grinder and when I asked the girl if she had 5" as well she looked at me as if I had asked her if she was into an-l sex ! Told my wife and she said I should be careful what I say, like I had said something disgusting.  |

Half a century ago I read a joke in a rag mag along the following lines: A man goes into the Social Security office to claim benefits. The clerk asks him how many children he has, and he replies "twelve". "How old are they?" asks the clerk. He responds "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12". "And what are their birth dates?" "January 1st". "What all of them?" "Yes". "And what is your trade?" "Precision grinder". |

I stopped in a rug section somewhere deep in the doldrums of Ikea , I think it was ground level but who can tell with no windows , and stopped to look at the array of full cow skin hides for sale. I thought to myself who buys a dead cow for their loungeroom floor? And then I walked away.

There was a guy who had a problem with his penis, instead of having one "outlet" on the end he had about 10 of them right along the length of it.
One day he was in the men's room at a pub, making a hell of a mess, and the fellow having a leak beside him noticed what was happening and said - " That can't be good, you should have a talk to my mate about that"
The poor guy said - "Is he a doctor" ?
and the other fellow said - "No, he's a piccolo players, he can teach you how to hold it"
