I HATE When That Happens

I bought a mirror at IKEA the other day. The directions have only one step, followed by this warning:

Do you think that happens a lot???


So I guess if there's a window in your bathroom, you can't have both this mirror AND any curtains. Or, you know, towels. What about toilet paper? Fortunately our bathroom is totally windowless, so we're spared the dreaded inferno of the IKEA mirror.

  3. The IKEA directions are always quite humorous. They're more like comic strips really. Ironically (after reading your post), it reminded me of some curtains we bought there a while back. They were actually pannel track blinds which required a bit of assembly for which I would have expected some instructions. Their instructions were a picture of a man with a wrench with a question thought bubble above his head, and then the next frame was him on the phone with IKEA. Good stuff.

  5. It's only a burning hazard if you are invisible and wearing a visible shirt
