when Thomas Paine said "these are times that try men's souls." he must have been shopping at an Ikea.

I think the last time I saw so many oblivious idiots wandering aimlessly was at a Buccees back in November

That place is hilarious. It's like walmart, but the people don't belong there.

I'm interested as to why you are at Ikea and with whom that you are bored enough to notice this :P

Just bought a condo, so I figured I'd take this opportunity to try to get organized. I went to OfficeDepot to just get a simple little 2 drawer file cabinet. Easy enough you would think, right?

Wrong. You can purchase it in the store, but it would have to be delivered. And signed for. Only between the hours of 8-5 Monday thru Friday. I am NOT going to burn a vacation day to wait at home for a file cabinet. So, I told them I was going to Ikea.......

Who didn't really have any good options either. And a lot of blithering idiots in that store. I've seen more cohesive and purposeful movement on a playground full of 1st graders then there was at Ikea with a store load of nominally labeled adults.

Office max or staples...I used to work for office max idk if they have stores whereever u are, but i kno that if they have the cabinet in stock they will load it into ur car/truck for you. I believe same with staples...

Laggy next time you go do so with a group of friends then have a scavenger hunt for random shit. Like a lamp with more then 6 bulbs, a table with 3 legs, ect. Its actualy a lot of fun, and when your done you can eat there crappy suedo swedish food.

I got my file cabinet at Walmart. Did you try there?

I will never go to Walmart on my own volition. I'm just diametrically opposed to the behemoth. Target I can do, I will make another trip there soon.

Besides, Jinx may know the closest Walmart to me (Meyerland area) is frequently referred to by its own citizens as "Ghetto-mart". It's rather scary there.

+1 for Team Wal-Mart Haters.

Except if you buy it at Ikea, your going to have to spend at least 2 weekends trying to actually put it together, and still have only 40 parts missing
