I am getting old...The Ikea desk assembly messed me up!

[bicentennial_baby]

My right thigh, right thumb joint, and right shoulder are all ouchy. I guess those dozens of screws and their attachment to the desk pieces did me in. Owwww.

:wtf:

Sign me up for the old folks' home now, please. x(

4. IKEA...

It always sounds like a good idea, right up until you're putting it together, and remember what a pain in the ass it is.

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. I'll repost the wonderful sarcastic letter to IKEA

Fucking :rofl:

After all, if Seurat can create the impression of people at a French seaside using only colored dots, why should an Ikea technical illustrator not create only the impression of accuracy?

gluing veneer over two entire sides and leaving only the faintest dimples as evidence of the holes lurking beneath them seems a bit out-of-bounds and not quite preux, wouldn't you say?


I just love his use of the word "preux".

I'm glad you saw this in the other thread you posted - it is indeed funny!
