Ikea sabotaged me… probably the Pope too

I really shouldn’t be allowed to shop at Ikea. I don’t remember the last time I walked out of there with at least 4 or 5 impulse buys. I can’t really blame Ikea. I do the same thing at Costco and Fry’s. Glad I don’t seem to have that problem at I dunno… Tiffany’s?

So on my most recent trip to Ikea I spotted Ikea cotton napkins in off-white and red. Next to them were cheap Ikea face towels. All stuff I “need” so I grabbed a few sets of each. As soon as I got home I threw them all in the washing machine. Yes, I threw them in together and I’m sure you know what happened next (which I knew too but of course wasn’t thinking). The red napkins all bled into the white face towels. Strangely the off-white napkins are all fine. Ikea, you mystify me.

Another item on the list of what not to do… At least I didn’t wash the Shroud of Turin too like the Pope just did.

Shroud Of Turin Accidentally Washed With Red Shirt

VATICAN CITY—The damage occurred when Pope Benedict XVI, who was on laundry duty, did not notice a brand new bright-red Hanes Beefy-T in the Holy Whirlpool washer.
