I bought and assembled an IKEA dining table.
The 2nd to last step was a pain in the ass. I probably spent 45 mins or so on it and still couldn't quite get it 100% (retaining square thing that goes between the four legs and over 8 bolts, which you then tighten through the middle, which is super cramped. I double-checked with a level if not getting it 100% sat on the bolts would be ok, and the level said 0 deg. So I tightened everything up, flipped the table right-side up, and then checked if it was sturdy and then if the level continued to read 0 deg; both were good. I dunno why IKEA stuff is always so unnecessarily challenging.

Like my Norton Commando 750 with no electric starter. Had to go with the lightbulb when a neighbor ratted me out to the landlord for parking the bike in the dining room. I got even when I told the landlord about her five cats. I knew she was bad news when she put all her boyfriend’s stuff in garbage bags and threw it out on the lawn while he was at work. I let him sleep on my couch for a week and that first Saturday I introduced him to my girlfriend’s besty. By Monday he moved in with her. Ha! Nothing raises a guy’s stock price like when another woman shows some interest. And… it turned out that he was allergic to cats anyway. And the ball sailed right between the goalposts for the extra point!

I know someone who posted the wrong photo on a singles dating site and could not remove it. Lesson learned, some selfies are best not taken. Fortunately, an administrator erased the faux pas and said that her submission was hardly the worst screwup he had seen. However, her being on that dating site was short lived. Apparently, everyone puts up photos that are very misleading, much like the hamburger 🍔 you get looks nothing like the photo on the menu. Where’s the beef?

Best way I know is to go out to the green on the 13th hole of your local golf course during a thunderstorm and raise your putter over your head.

and what the heck is a 'mattress inspection'? ikea is terrible. their light fixtures are european style, meaning that it's just a bucket and a cord, and i always end up spending an hour building a mounting system for them... their 'high end' kitchen cabinets all use these chintzy plastic thread-up/down adjusters to 'shim' the cabinets to the proper height. the same plastic adjusters that many shipping companies use for temporary product support....
