    The VW bus was so totally random!

    But the way I heard the story was that the wolf didn't get Little Red Riding Hood--she put up such a fight, the woodsman came to help her with only an ax and grandma was extricated that way.

    Damn revisionists!

    @danio3834: I made the mistake of going into one once. A guy from work suggested I go there to get some cheap furniture. It did in fact take quite a while to leave: it was a two story deal and you had to go through the whole store to exit.


    By the way, there is a difference between cheap and crap. Ikea sells crap, craigslist sells cheap.

    @maximum-sienna haz a NA V-6: Thats a mirror of my own one and only experience with IKEA. There was a convenient escalator to get up to the second floor, but no down escalator. In fact, I couldn't even find any stairs to take me back to the place where I had entered the store once the panic had set in.


    After wandering in disbelief for some time, I darted out an emergency exit, never to return.


    Probably the most disturbing part about the whole experience is that the place was packed with people, yet it appeared that the wife and I were the only ones aggitated by this place.


    I felt very much like I was one of the last to be consumed ala Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

    @danio3834: Day 42: Today I almost escaped from IKEA. I say almost because what I thought was the exit was acutally a display model with a front door. I don't know how much longer I can go on eating frozen Swedish meatballs and sleeping on stiff square furniture...

    @maximum-sienna haz a NA V-6: and you didn't try the swedish meatballs??? Anyway you might think Ikea sells crap, and some of it is bad quality, but I still have and use lots of Ikea stuff from 1986, as good as on day one... maybe that's why they became so incredibly successful?

    @danio3834: I personally love Ikea. Their furniture is great for college students: cheap, stylish, and pretty easy to disassemble when you move. Some of their stuff is admittedly low-quality, but all the Ikea furniture and lamps I have is still in perfect shape after 3 years of use.


    As for the stores, it helps a lot to know where the "shortcuts" are (They are marked in the store). Those can get you through the store pretty quick.

    @sos10: They did start out in the US as a remarkable place selling quality stuff. But that was back in the 80s(?)Since then it's gone downhill and you have to look harder to find good stuff.
