Swedish House Mania

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 ill-strations, 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 meatb-lls 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 sh-tshow 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.”
