THERE IS NOTHING AS FRUSTRATING AS WAITING FOR A RESET PASSWORD MAIL... ONLY TO GET A STREAM OF 16 PLAINTEXT PASSWORDS 30 MINUTES LATER, WITH NONE OF THEM WORKING.

Fuck you, IKEA. 🖕

When you walk through their buildings, to find 100's of pencils, but no notes to write on.

@xewl i always, erm, forgot to put those pencils back. i mean they are pretty shitty, but who would complain about one or two extra pencils..

@gitreflog Yup, I used to get my pencils and pens in school, now I get them from IKEA.

the reason why ikeas ecomerce experience is stuck in the early 2000s is because Ingvar Kamprads feared that he will earn some billions less. You see, the reason why you're looked in the Ikea markets is that you buy as much small stuff you don't need. Recreating that shoping behavior online is not an easy task. So they want you in the market, and the website is to frustrate you into the market. 🙃

@AlpineLinnix but he died recently and things are changing... I've read that they are planing a redesign. But it's allegedly a massive undertaking which takes time.

@heyheni @AlexDeLarge

The reason I still buy there is because I've always had a Flürp at home since I was a kid, and even though Flürp's little hexbolts get loose and the wood veneer gets ugly, I know they'll always have another Flürp in stock. And Flürp is so cheap... so struggling to assemble Flürp in my living room means I can procrastinate on finding a different brand!

@ArcaneEye @AlexDeLarge It's the triangular version of the Ballsäk.

@Bitwise There were traffic jams in the Netherlands in Delft because a lot of old people went there every morning for the €1 breakfast with free coffee. They were forced to stop offering it.

@ArcaneEye Why not?

@ArcaneEye Why not?

@AlpineLinnix In English it also literally means "bundle of sticks"
