Random Irritations

[PJ87]

IKEA stuff is actually pretty good.
The worst thing about IKEA is navigating the damn store.

Mrs hates my version of IKEA shopping

Find the location of the product online

Go in through the exit and go straight to that location

In and out

Your version of IKEA must be different to mine. Go in via the exit, and you're the wrong side of the tills

Elastic band around the can to keep the nozzle secure when not in use?

Until it perishes and snaps, another irritation!

Easy to sneak through the tills with self service now days just head to the warehouse

Went to Sheffield IKEA about six years ago ( only visit to an IKEA in 20 odd years). There was a printed map of the store on line showing all possible short cuts. Went in with my wife, using the map we cut through straight to the item, then straight to check out, back in the car in 20 mins. She was not amused.

All those strange names for the products in IKEA.
It is so tedious walking round that my mind wanders in all sorts of directions.

I like to stroll round with Mrs V and make up stories.

There is a clear plastic mat or floor protector called a Kolon.
"Oh, I'm going to take my Kolon out and hose it down."

And there is something called a Rimforsa.
Unfortunately, I can not type that story here. Make up your own.

Tradesmen (or women in this case!) supposed to be here at 8. I tried texting and calling at 8.30, no response.

Just called me now…oh sorry, I’m running a bit late. Will be with you in half hour!

That's OK if what you want is a flatpack. Doesn't work if you're after general household bits & bobs.

Luckily the IKEA down here in Exeter isn't too bad.
Nothing like the Hell on Earth that is Brent Cross. I reckon Dignitas could do some business setting up a stand at the exit.

Don't buy from retailers who deliberately try and make quick shopping impossible. Easy

Na , the forums servers are so bad that they can't handle a simple photo

Yes. My wording was poor. Not the size of the photos rather than this site not able to cope with them!

There's an app called Photo Compress or something like that, works great most of the time

I find a quicker way is to message the photo to myself in WhatsApp

That’s better than the, all too often, no shows!

Still irritating though. She gave me the well worn excuse that her electric must have tripped out and her alarm didn’t go off.

13 goals out of 14 on my both teams to score bet. Would rather get 0.
