This furious IKEA rant is brilliant and the way IKEA responded is even better
We’ve all felt the fury and sheer despair that is involved in trying to build something – anything – we’ve bought from IKEA.
But not all of us take to Twitter to express our frustration in quite so colourful terms as this chap did.
@IKEAUK See your store at Braehead I'm gonnae go across and burn it to the ground tonight!
Never again will I buy anythin from yous.
Your fuckin flat pack wardrobe instructions are a fuckin shambles My little girl will now need to live her life out of a suitcase. You fuckin cunts— Badgie (@badgiebhoy) February 3, 2019
And even if we did, we probably wouldn’t expect IKEA to respond. Except that’s exactly what happened here and it’s brilliant.
Hi, Please can you advise what your issues are and we can help you. Thanks Leanne

My issues are your flat pack wardrobe instructions are 62 pages long and make absolute no sense. One side panel has about 20 holes in it!
You have sent me round the bend trying to build it.
If I get to the end and it’s fucked I’m gonnae blow up your Glasgow store— Badgie (@badgiebhoy) 3 February 2019
Hi, I can understand assembling any furniture is very stressful. However we would kindly ask that you do not blow up our Glasgow store. What part are you stuck on? Thanks Leanne

Hahaha, ok sorry Leanne I won’t blow up your Glasgow shop. Your wardrobe instructions can be very trying. I’ve downed tools just now to watch the Celtic game.
Listen sorry for any bad language that you may have been sent. I was a tad upset
Your reply made me laugh tho— Badgie (@badgiebhoy) 3 February 2019
Hi, Thank you. Im glad I made you laugh. Hopefully Celtic win. Then Man u later. Have a good day-Leanne

Yeah I love United. Been at Old Trafford loads of times. ICJ
Are you up to anything midweek Leanne? Fancy a movie, dinner and then some dancing?— Badgie (@badgiebhoy) 3 February 2019
Leanne just clocked out and is heading for the airport.

If only every exchange on Twitter worked out like this (although it might get a bit much after a while).
This is hilarious and whatever @IKEAUKSupport are paying Leanne, it's not enough https://t.co/dsZO9ABFIL
