Solution instead of room
Today I went into an Ikea for the first time.
There was a mock up of a small house kitted out with all Ikea lifestyle solutions.
How do I know they were solutions?
Because there was a map thing on the wall telling me this.
Kitchen/Dining Solution ( sink, cupboards and table)
Media Solution ( a gap big enough to take a flat screen TV between the ceiling high Billy bookshelves and white sofas )
Bedroom Solution ( yeah a bed and stuff, you get the picture)

Some of it I rather liked but Solution just bugged me

most of my house is furnished with ikea stuff
cheap, yet surprisingly sturdy. shopping in there is a pain in the arse, though.

It certainly was
You HAVE to follow the arrows,do not EVER deviate from the route they want you to follow,
Deviating from this designated route will result in people tutting at you and you resisting very hard from flipping the finger.
You MUST not laugh when you hear the sounds of smashing glass.
you MUST take notes of any flat pack furniture you want and then go and collect it youself, risking a hernia getting it into your trolley.
You MUST put your yellow shopping bag away in the bin by the checkout before paying for stuff.
Checkout staff get very stressed by this
And you MUST NOT giggle and roll your eyes when when they ask you to pay for your glass before you fill it with insipid and flat lingonberry juice in the cafe.
But I did get 17p teatowels ;)

you MUST NOT hide inside the wardrobes
and jump out at your mother, as this may cause her to shit her swedish meatballs back out
