Living in IKEA for a week.

As a kid I had always wondered about the endless fun I would have if someone locked me in the mall over night. I could eat my weight in pretzels, jump on the beds in the furniture section of department stores, play with all the toys in the toy store and race around the empty corridors on my bike. Well, it now looks like someone just got the chance to do what I once dreamt of. A comedian got IKEA to agree to let him move in for 6 days! I was shocked that any corporation would ever agree to this. I couldn’t even get the stupid supermarket around the street to agree to let me take pictures for a final project and he gets to live in and tape his IKEA experience. If IKEA had toys, he would be living my dream.

I will definitely be visiting this IKEA when I get back to Jersey tomorrow.

IKEA does have toys. You’re all set :slight_smile:

it is a dreamy existance. i would get annoyed at the pesky customers though.

my locked in dream usually occured in a library or bookstore.

When I was a child, I read the most wonderful book, about a girl and her brother who run away from home and live in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. IKEA? I dunno if it would be nearly as much fun. :wink:

I loved that book as a kid, and now that I’m a librarian, I constantly recommend it to kids. I admit it was the first thing I thought of when I read the OP.

When we were in junior high, two of my friends did that at Sears. They hid under a bed and then waited until the cleaning people left.

This is when they learned about motion detector alarms and police dogs.

They claimed that they were just going to have fun, riding bicycles around, but I suspect that there were a few things which would have walked out with them the next day.
