I hate Ikea with a passion. Sure, their furniture makes for great conversation pieces...

"Hey, I see you bought the Expedit!"

"Yeah!"

"Cool, I have THE EXACT same thing at home."

When someone buys Ikea, you know they bought Ikea. What was once unique has just become generic cheap crap.

Pro tip: You aren't artsy for buying Ikea. You do however look like a starving artist for buying Ikea.

(We've all been there... I still hate it.)
