@Miriamm Give me enough orange cones and I can control the world.

@Miriamm SCP-3008 :)

@Miriamm the Ikea arrow police????? ACAB

@Miriamm Yeah this is one of the best things I’ve seen in a while, I felt like I found my brother from another mother.

@Miriamm where can I donate towards this most worthy cause?

@Miriamm still laughing at this... It's like that Oh I can't remember where it's from but something about pick me up and every soldier picks it up and then gets vaporized immediately afterward... Why are you following the arrow?

@Miriamm I wouldn’t have thought this was necessary.

@Miriamm There is so much ugly evil in the world, so much disgusting evil. This is beautiful evil. This is such a thing of diabolical beauty that it should be framed for posterity. The person arrested for this should never have to pay for a drink in a bar ever again, this is so beautiful.

@Miriamm "a labyrinth with no exit" #capitalism

@Miriamm This is hilarious.

@Miriamm Sociopathic!

@Miriamm fake news. Nobody goes to IKEA at this time of year. They’re trying to get more people in the door.

 And they have got a very able PR department.

@Miriamm @emma “a labyrinth with no exit”? Shoppers endlessly funnelled back inside? Arrow switching: coming to an IKEA near you.

@Miriamm Wait a minute, IKEA is *already* a labyrinth with no exit.

@Miriamm IKEA Arrested?!?? so what, they give him a little wrench and make him put his own cell together????

@Miriamm
One of those ‘I don’t care if the headline is true, I want it to be true’ stories 😀

@Miriamm

IKEA is the one making the maze.

Dude just pointed people the wrong way.

@Miriamm You'll need to customize and post some of these signs in the closet furniture.

@Miriamm As soon as nanobots are made a thing, someone will make an infinite underground IKEA and we all know it.

@Miriamm

Gibt dem wort stadtguerrilla eine völlig neue bedeutung.

@Miriamm I feel like he was probably an employee as that is what happens when I go there

@Miriamm

OH at the IKEA bookcases: "there must be a secret lever around here somewhere..."

@Miriamm@mastodon.social

People could die, you know.

/s

@Miriamm Haha! That is brilliant.

@Miriamm
,🤣🤣
@jhv

@Miriamm what's your GoFundMe?

@Miriamm
Pretty sure this has already been done in every Ikea I've ever visited.

The staff are just shoppers who went native after sitting down to a breakfast of meatballs for the 10th time.

@Miriamm

Great idea ;)

@Miriamm I'm in. We can make it non-euclidian with some magic. We'll either get scp 3008, or we can screw with the laws of spacial reality throughout the whole universe.

@Miriamm

Folks need to "look up" - instead of down... all that head down on phone practice...

@Miriamm I've always wanted to print up shelf tags with made-up vaguely Scandinavian-looking words on them and just add them to the shelves below products at random

@Miriamm so cruel

@Miriamm@mastodon.social a fake judge will give him a fake sentence in a fake Prison.

@Miriamm chaotic neutral

@Miriamm Hilarious, but sadly not true.

@Miriamm Not all heroes wear capes

@Miriamm When you get to the Las Vegas Ikea, be sure to go to the cafe, ideally at sunset. The view of Red Rock Canyon is spectacular

@Miriamm

@Miriamm @ioster it's a joke actually

@Miriamm

@Miriamm This was brilliant 🤣👍🏻

@Miriamm genius 😅

@Miriamm I have made your profile the co-first link in my new #MastodonWebring — please help expand the ring!

There was an exit before…?

@Miriamm Recently, a new IKEA store opened in San Francisco, very close to where I live.

Even without any mischief, I had a heck of a time finding the exit.

A question: Why do people find it endearing when a plush animal gets confused in a store? Maybe they were amused that I was using a compass to try to reach the doorway.

@Miriamm It's a hoax story, satire. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/02/11/fact-check-viral-ikea-story-social-distancing-arrows-satire/6709720002/

@Miriamm Seek help.

@Miriamm What is a fake arrow?

@Miriamm My man! 👍 😜

@Miriamm I would point the arrows to direct store traffic straight to the manager office.

@gavinisdie wanna do this?

@Miriamm I would totally do that.

@Miriamm I want to be friends with this man and buy him Swedish Meatballs if he can ever find the cafeteria.

@Miriamm Arrested? He should be given the Turner Prize at the very least.

[Edit] USA Today…debunked this one in a post back in 2021, but it still pops up on social media from time to time. As USA Today points out, the claim often goes viral on Facebook with details such as the name of the man, a 33-year-old named Sylvester Schwartz, and claims he was arrested by the Chicago Police Department. But the story simply never happened.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattnovak/2023/11/04/no-a-man-didnt-get-arrested-for-putting-confusing-arrows-in-ikea/?sh=2b69dd0c6153

@Miriamm Noooo... I struggle finding an exit out of Ikea as it is

@Miriamm I was in Ikea once and clearly this fellow had been there . No way out.

@Miriamm Where I live, the arrows are gobos on spotlights

@Miriamm

@Miriamm I predicted this would happen !
