I remember being in Ikea once, and this lady had her child in one of the ikea provided strollers, totally up to safety code I might add.
While she was waiting in line her child was standing up in the stroller trying to reach the counter. The stroller was slowly rolling away from the counter. I pointed it out to the mother, but she was too distracted as she was sifting through the impulse buys near the counter and she half-assedly told her child to sit. He continued to do what he was doing. When the stroller finally bolted out from under him, and he was about to smash his face on the counter, I managed to catch him. He started crying and she got mad at me for touching her kid. FUCK YOU BITCH, NO $1.49 CANDLE HOLDER IS WORTH YOUR CHILD LOSING ALL THOSE BABY TEETH HE WORKED SO HARD ON GETTING IN THE FIRST PLACE. A STROLLER IS NOT A FUCKING BABY SITTER. In short, Ikea makes my eyelid twitch. |

I don't love Ikea, but I find the reasons people 'hate' Ikea pretty funny. edit - I forgot to mention the classic "I always get lost in Ikea! Why do they make it so confusing!?!?!" statement you hear all the time.. I bet these are the same people who think the Millenium Line addition to the skytrain system is confusing. |

Some of their solid wood furniture is decent quality and it is their particleboard stuff that is crap.
I really don't understand how anyone can screw up putting together Ikea furniture. Their pictorial diagrams are quite clear and show exactly the orientation of each piece. |

I agree. I have a really nice dresser that I put together by myself in about half an hour. It was very easy.... I also put together my bed in about the same amount of time. I really don't get how people have a hard time with it. |

You are talking about every single big box store, Avana. Crap, you're talking about public places in general. The world is FULL of dumb people, don't blame Ikea. :p
