Well, that was a waste of an afternoon ...

Went to IKEA with my gran so she could buy me a bunch of stuff, and just as we were standing in line to check out, the whole damn store got evacuated. Um. Huge-ass cloud of black smoke, smelling like burnt rubber, and ew, and then it took like an hour for us to get a taxi and get home and did I mention the ew and the burning in my throat? And the fact that now we wasted a whole afternoon with nothing to show for it?

I should learn to read the comments first. Airconditioning, it's all good until someone decides to light a camping fire under the air inlets.

"I'll be burning rubber you'll be kissing my ass".
I know it wasn't you making out with a bloke using a condom that started melting due to friction, So what really happened ?

Somebody tossed his cigarette the wrong way ?

Glad you're okay! Too bad about shopping there all afternoon and then having to abandon the shopping cart...

Thanks, I'm glad I'm okay, too. :D Yeah, the having to leave the shopping cart thing was fairly annoying, but if the IKEA is open again before oma leaves, we're going back, and taking a taxi home so I can get the rugs I wanted, too.
