An IKEA Joke

Whilst I’m waiting for the spice rack, here’s a joke.

Question: How many IKEA shop assistants does it take to change a light bulb?
Answer: “Sorry, we ran out of light bulbs. We expect them to arrive early next month. We do have ladders though! You just go straight on, then left and then right. No, thanks, anytime.”
On Yahoo answers they said this.
 Ikea is Swedish for ” how the f_ck do i put this together”

But that’s not my problem. I just want the product.

  1. I HATE that you have to walk round the entire store … including departments where you just can’t find how to move to next one … rather than just getting what you want and then going to check out. Are we all so stupid that we HAVE to buy more enroute??

  2. I think what is needed is a network of people who live near an IKEA store, who know it well. So the things you can’t find in your locality, you put on a database and these people buy them and then send them to you.

  3. It’s a bit like the supermarkets putting all the basic items at the back of their stores so you have to walk past everything else.
    But there are actually shortcuts all over IKEA shops so you don’t have to walk the whole store.
    They just don’t make them obvious

    • What annoys me is that some of their products aren’t available on-line, so I have to carry them home on the bus.
