Guy Live-Blogs His Trip To IKEA And It's Every Trip To IKEA You've Ever Been On

I class a trip to IKEA as one of life's necessary evils - while it is soul destroying having to spend precious minutes of your life in there, it's the best place to go if you need to buy a bedside lamp and don't want to spend more than £6 - also the meatballs are pretty good.

Just because I know I should go to IKEA, to save money, doesn't mean I enjoy going to IKEA. And with me on that 100 percent is this Imgur user.

He appears to be at IKEA under duress after his wife decided they needed a trip there - despite their apartment already being furnished.

Possibly to improve his shopping experience, he decided to document his whole trip, and I think you'll agree he's basically nailed every time you've ever been to IKEA.

He starts off looking a bit confused, because, as previously mentioned, his apartment is already furnished...

Look, at least there's food. Imagine this experience with no food.

The food leads to tragedy, though:

Lots of things you know you have no use for, but, still, you're here now so you may as well spend some money.

I have never been to IKEA and not bought a candle, to be honest.

Ah, here we go. The Official IKEA Couple Argument - it's not in the catalogue, but is as much a part of the Swedish shop as bookcases called Billy.

Time to check out some more stuff you don't want or need, but because of the stupid layout you end up looking at. I'm starting to feel that rage just looking at these pictures.

Fuck knows why IKEA stocks cuddly rats.

You'll never use these, but you'll probably buy some because you're a grown up now and measuring spoons seem like something you ought to own.

'Ooo last chance...' that just means no one else wanted it, probably with good reason.

This is definitely one of those plants people tell you are low maintenance and almost impossible to kill and it dies within three days of living with you. IKEA has stung me a few times with that one.

Yeah, I think it was this exact plant.

Whoops...

Is that Jack Nicholson's character from The Shining in front of them?

Ah, all's well that ends well.

Until next time, IKEA.
