1. The mental state of a
person when they come home with a
car full of
IKEA stuff and stay up all night putting it together.
2. The rage that occurs when you are staring at a
set of
IKEA instructions and can't decipher the illustrations, and you throw your hands up in despair. Symptoms include arguing with your significant other; and throwing or kicking pieces, tools or hardware across the room.
3. The mad combination of adrenaline and frustration you get, when you're running around the self-service area trying to find all the different packages you need for one item.
4. When you are waiting in line 10 minutes before closing, fuming and having a meltdown because you're standing behind 30
people with their carts overflowing with stuff, and you just want to get your meatballs and GTFO.
1. Taylor and I bought a few Pax wardrobes at
IKEA this weekend, drank a bunch of coffee and spent 16 hours putting it together. We were up till 4 in the
morning! Talk about Swedish House Mania...
2. Well, the bookshelf got a few scratches on it when
Steven smacked it with the hammer in a fit of Swedish House Mania.
3. I swear we couldn't find Aisle 3, bin 24, where the doors were supposed to be for that cabinet we were buying. I got Swedish House Mania at the thought of having to come back for it another day.
"IKEA was a shitshow last night. It looked like everyone in line had Swedish House Mania, waiting to check out." or, "I was sick of sleeping on the
floor, so I finally I braved the Swedish House Mania at IKEA the other night, to get a new
bed."
