    I’ve played hide and seek every single time I have been in an IKEA. We never got more than 20 people together though.

    All you need now is to lock the doors, turn off the lights, and tell everyone that the story is closing.

    I mean it would be pretty bad for the staff and the customers who just want to buy shit

      Might be decent exposure for the store though. It’s pretty easy to see stuff at IKEA and be like yeah, I have been meaning to pick up a new wobbly stool. Better grab some weird candy too.

      I’ve noticed a lot of media outlets like to add a zero here and there when reporting.
      A mix of 300 people could fill the IKEA parking lot. 3000 is an entire cruise ship.

        You piqued my interest so I went to look it up. Average Ikea is 300k sf. So obviously omitting the fact that there are areas of the store that are off limits (although are you following those rules when you’re playing hide and seek?), as well as there being furniture everywhere, that’s 100 square feet per person, which I think is doable. Especially considering, if I’m playing hide and seek at IKEA, I’m hiding in the furniture.

    Imagine you’re shopping and you pull out a towel from the rack and there is just a whole stoner back behind there chilling. /shudders

      Hey, I found a stoner tucked away in the men’s jeans in Wal-Mart, 50% off.

      Decided to take him home, and it’s been a great decision! He takes care of the couch, he’s always down to play some Smash, he’ll even let me win.

      All it cost me was watching one Pauly Shore movie a week. Tomorrow’s Encino Man!
