Ikea probably receive their fair share of complaints from dissatisfied customers, but it's unlikely that they receive too many like this one. Claus Jřrstad, of Alta in northern Norway, directed a bizarre Facebook rant at his Scandinavian neighbour's most famous company, after he got one of his testicles stuck in the top of a newly purchased stool. Claus had a bad knee injury which was preventing him from comfortably standing up in the shower. For that reason, purchasing Ikea's Marius stool seemed like a pretty inspired idea. But he clearly didn't plan for all possible eventualities. When poor old Claus sat down for his shower, the hot water caused his delicates - or as he quite excellently calls them, his 'skipper and two sailors - to expand. The stool had a number of small holes on the top and the sailors dangled themselves into some serious trouble. As The Local report, the unfortunate Norwegian only became aware of the situation when he stood up. Yanking his equipment free was never going to be an option, so he had to wait for the water to turn cold and the inevitable shrivelling to ensue. The 45-year-old told The Daily Mail that when the temperature became freezing he genuinely considered risking electrocution by attempting to warm up with a hairdryer.
