What are the Odds!? (For me, pretty good)
Published December 9th, 2008So I felt the need today to go to IKEA to pick up a couple small items. I don’t go to IKEA all that often, even though I should go more. I like IKEA. I’ve gone maybe 2 or 3 times in the past year. So I don’t know their hours by heart. So I use the intertubes to look it up.
Store opening hours:
Open Daily
10am-9pm
Sweet! It being only 745pm, I’m golden, if I get a move on. But wait, I spy this:
Holiday Hours 2008
OK, maybe they have longer hours during the holidays so that I don’t have to rush! That would be convenient. What could those awesome, helpful hours be?

Tuesday, 12/9 10am-6pm
If you check your calendars, folks, you’ll see that today, of all the days in the year I choose to go to IKEA, happens to be 12/9. Now you’re thinking, well that’s sorta your luck Cephyn, we know, we get it - but no, you don’t - there’s more.
See, last year, the gal I was dating at the time and I went to IKEA (she is fond of them) on a cold December eve to grab a couple of small items. We were wandering the nearly empty store - since you have to wander at least SOME in IKEA right? And suddenly we’re being ushered out. At like, 6pm. We had just gotten there! They’re supposed to be open later than 6! But that day just happened to be the day that IKEA employees were having their holiday party.
As I bet they are having tonight. Once again, I chose IKEA on the one freaking day of the year where they close early. Now THAT is Cephyn luck. Freakin’ A.
