IKEA Assembly Drama: Am I the A-hole?
So, here I am, just trying to put together some cheap IKEA furniture in my apartment, and my downstairs neighbor is losing his mind! I’ve been as gentle as possible with the hammering, but apparently, it’s too much for his hungover self to handle. I mean, what else am I supposed to do? Leave my plants on the floor? I’m having cold sweats just thinking about him coming up here to yell at me! But hey, I’ve never had any noise complaints before, so maybe I’m not the a-hole here? Let’s see what the internet has to say about this whole fiasco! Grab your popcorn, because the comments are bound to be juicy!
