Man Secretly Documents His Wife Taking Him To IKEA Again, And His Photos Go Viral

ADVERTISEMENT

Ever found yourself in IKEA without the slightest idea why you’re there? That’s the dark magic of IKEA. It subtly draws you in with its invisible Scandi-tentacles, and it doesn’t let you go until you’ve bought at least one thing that you have absolutely no use for.

The guy behind this funny story certainly knows this feeling, as he recently found himself at the famous flat-pack furniture store with his wife without the vaguest notion as to why. So in order to try and make some sense out of his seemingly inexplicable journey, he decided to document his trip and post it on the internet. Did he make it out alive? And more importantly, did he make it out without buying anything? Read his hilarious photo diary to find out.

“We are here. Our apartment is furnished. I am not sure why we are returning”

“We appear to be here, in part, for lunch”

“I have dropped fruity purple sauce on my pants. As is tradition. It will likely stain. On Facebook, my aunt advises pouring boiling water over the spot. She further advises removing the pants before doing so”

ADVERTISEMENT

“Receiving no instruction on where to place my food mobility unit, I have left it here. I hope it will not cause inconvenience”

“Perhaps we are here for institutional storage solutions. My wife says, ‘Maybe when we have eight kids.’ We have zero kids. We move on”

“We are looking at candles. We have many candles. We bought our current candles at IKEA. These are slightly different”

“She has asked for my thoughts on this storage solution. I said, ‘We don’t have room for it.’ This was apparently an incorrect response”

ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT

“We seem to be here for a mirror. I begin to recall a conversation where she expressed this need”

“This is not a mirror. Our ultimate purpose remains as mysterious as the little dots over the vowels in the item labels”

“My wife is charmed by the stuffed rats. This does not alarm or surprise me, although I am surprised that the rats feature so prominently in the display. It is a strange marketing choice”

“More rats. I begin to speculate they are somehow significant in Swedish culture”

“She has commented on how sturdy these spoons are. Our other measuring spoons do not strike me as structurally unsound”

ADVERTISEMENT

“‘*This* is where you get napkins,’ she asserts. I have to agree that, on evidence, she is right”

“‘Ready?’ she asks. I say yes, but I’m not sure what she is referring to”

“‘This would be really pretty,’ says my wife. I express hesitance to hang a picture of a random woman on my wall. She was talking about the picture frame. I am on thin ice”

“We live in a basement. I fear for the lives of any plants we procure”

ADVERTISEMENT

“‘What is this, even?’ my wife asks. The label holds no answers”

“My wife says these remind her of baobab trees. I patiently remind her that baobabs are hundreds of feet tall. She will detach a retina if she keeps rolling her eyes like that”

“I’ve been busted”

“We are checking out. We have a microwave cover, a sugar bowl, and a drawer divider. We do not have a mirror. ‘I want ice cream,’ says my wife”

“‘I love you forever, even though I already have to,’ says my wife. I love her, too”

It was mildly clever.. then again, I am sure he was just trying to amuse himself and few friends... "going viral" has really lost it's meaning.

On the second picture it is not a rat, but GOSIG MUS. And they indeed are very cute. They come in three colours!

It's funny because my brother-in-law always make a big fuss when he goes with my sister to Ikea, but he sees absolutely no trouble to bring her two afternoons in a row when he needs a new car that she won't even drive :)) (they found a compromise, though, I go with my sister to Ikea because I like it too, and he brings his own brother when he needs a new car) :p

The strange plant is called "Witches Fingers". It is related to "Mother-In-Law's Tongue".

Actually it's called Sansieveria cylindrica. "Mother in law's tongue" refers to several different species of Sansieveria. So if we all used proper names for plants (and animals), we'd all know they were related because of their names.

It's a sweet article. Not only for the humor and cleverness but most importantly, about their relationship. Marriage is really about the small things. Spending that simple time together. The actual "shopping" for physical, home needs are merely a backdrop. They'll be together a long time :)

We have an IKEA very close to us and the lure of the Lunch for 2 for under $10 is the main draw, but of course we then spend $50 on things we decide we can't live without....LOL. I like the story though, it shows that love endures through all aisles.......

Sort of anti-climatic ending I was expecting you to finish off better than that; I guess we all know how your wife feels now... maybe she is cruising Ikea for a man to screw her BILLY Bookcase together? But let's face it any other man there not being lead by his nose, by his dumpy wifey like yours is holding hands with the other good guys to pay either of you a mind... "Sansevieria" look it up 70 different flowering plants, native to Africa, Madagascar and south Asia. Common names mother-in-law's tongue, devil's tongue, jinn's tongue, and snake tongue [see where that went mother-inlaw and the Devil] LOL "ficus microcarpa ginseng" (Ficus Retusa) Native to Malaysia, Taiwan and other Southeast and East Asian countries, the Ginseng Ficus is an excellent choice for bonsai tree growers. AKA Taiwan Ficus, Banyan Fig Indian Laurel Fig, Ginseng Ficus known for the shape of its roots and stems and small oval dark green leaves

Sometimes I wonder WHY women try so hard instead of just giving simple instructions to men. Seems to me, his wife is trying to check his attitude to HAVING CHILDREN in nearest future. "8? Of course it is too many but look: we can storage babies in this closet units! Or hang them on walls when we are in the kitchen! Babies smell? Here! Aroma candles! Babies make a mess? Here! solution: NAPKINS. AND HEY! Husband: YOU should use napkins too (look at your trousers, you silly babe...) ... After walk between the mirrors she is affraid he may not like body... Maybe he would rather have sex (and babies) with someone like this lady on the picture? All pretty, all papery and super-model like in magazines... Eh... all this hints were hopeles... Let's adopt plant." AND HEY: the label has this little tiny black marks on it which SAYS what is it in the pot. It is SANSEVIERIA. A plant which has a name. But - whatever. I feel like talking baobab tree here. I am unhappy. Need icecream."

I hope you can buy the rats online from them because we have no Ikea stores here. I'm off to look right now!

My first trip to Hobby Lobby. Accompanied my wife, thinking this place should be cool. Probably half the store will be r/c equipment, guns, auto supplies, models , etc. Huh, all foo-foo. 'Twas also my last trip.

Oh bravo mindless consumer slags. How could one ever resist the urge to make a pilgrimage to the mecca of the unnecessary? This emasculated gentlemen knows not how to stand up to the keeper of his twig and giggle berries. Was there ever a thought given to ummmmmm not buy useless carp?? I'll go ahead and preempt the comeback here: **forever alone**

I've never been in an IKEA store because I don't live near one . I've seen the ads. I've heard about the food. I've read about the prices & self assembly. Shoppers , tell me why you shop there.

Those rats are the best dog toys ever! My dogs destroy every toy we bring home in 2 minutes flat, we have had several of these (and the mice!) for years and they have failed to destroy them...

Why does the headline say "secretly?" in most of the pictures she's looking right into the camera.

I can relate to this mans pain. My wife has got me into a pattern for going to Ikea purely to return an item that we purchased on the previous visit. Every time we return something, she finds something else to buy that she eventually decides needs returning on our next visit.

I read this in Werner Herzog's voice, and it was so much better for it.

Sort of anti-climatic ending I was expecting you to finish off better than that; I guess we all know how your wife feels now... maybe she is cruising Ikea for a man to screw her BILLY Bookcase together? Sansevieria 70 different flowering plants, native to Africa, Madagascar and south Asia. Common names mother-in-law's tongue, devil's tongue, jinn's tongue, and snake tongue see where that went mother-inlaw and the Devil lol ficus microcarpa ginseng (Ficus Retusa) Native to Malaysia, Taiwan and other Southeast and East Asian countries, the Ginseng Ficus is an excellent choice for bonsai tree growers.

Sometimes I wonder WHY women try so hard instead of just giving simple instructions to men. Seems to me, his wife is trying to check his attitude to HAVING CHILDREN in nearest future. "8? Of course it is too many but look: we can storage babies in this closet units! Or hang them on walls when we are in the kitchen! Babies smell? Here! Aroma candles! Babies make a mess? Here! solution: NAPKINS. AND HEY! Husband: YOU should use napkins too (look at your trousers, you silly babe...) ... After walk between the mirrors she is affraid he may not like body... Maybe he would rather have sex (and babies) with someone like this lady on the picture? All pretty, all papery and super-model like in magazines... Eh... all this hints were hopeles... Let's adopt plant." AND HEY: the label has this little tiny black marks on it which SAYS what is it in the pot. It is SANSEVIERIA. A plant which has a name. But - whatever. I feel like talking baobab tree here. I am unhappy. Need icecream."

Enjoyable. But I don't understand the message on her T shirt. Clearly I'm missing something since no one else has asked.

This is why I never take my husband shopping with me, I prefer to go alone and not be judged.
