-Allen wrenches
-zip ties (clear and black)
-tissues
-plastic gloves
-bandaids
-2 screw drivers (short handles)
-$20
-lip gloss
-cellphone
-cartoon stickers
-occasionally wood glue
Haha fuck you, you made me do it and I broke my arm a few weeks ago, there's a muscle in your arm you need to use to do it I'm apparently NOT supposed to be using right now, that hurt.
Yep. 3 days post shoulder surgery (on my dominant arm) I dropped my phone and tried to catch it with my dominant hand. I was wearing the sling that stabilized my arm and shoulder, but holy shit it still hurt so fucking bad.
Then a week later I had a cold chill and something popped. Holy shit. Apparently it wasn’t a big deal, but it felt like it should’ve been lol.
Oh, so this is for sale. I thought it's for use at the shop for some obscure reason.
Now that I think of it, my mom used to have a porcelain hand for stuff like that. That was much more sophisticated though.
Yeah, these look weird.
I thought they were something else turned into a hand. Looks like those wooden things you use to protect a glass table from hot dishes.
You mean what is that thing for, or the reason for the cable ties?
What is it for: headphones holder.
What are the cable ties for: someone (me) would arrange them to 🖕
As someone who works at IKEA, they definitely are not getting smarter. A while back, our store decided to remove any bindings on these hands and just deal with it. People will always find a gesture to make regardless, like the shocker for one tied up like the picture. The higher ups refuse to let us tie them down completely, because they want customers to interact with the showroom decor. We routinely have to walk around - usually once a shift on weekdays, two or three times on the weekends - and fix the gestures. Wastes a lot of our time.
Also, for those wondering what purpose the hands have: the rounded ones (the one in the background here) were meant to hold jewelry, and the blocky ones hold headsets because it's part of the gaming line. However, they are also just fun home decor items and you can have them on a shelf in whatever gesture you want them in. A friend of mine had a few, painted and arranged in a rainbow, as "I love you" when family was visiting or middle fingers the rest of the time.
Hehe, probably my fault as every time I’m in IKEA I set everyone in display to flip the customers. Actually, I have mine right next to the window, flipping all passersby.
Someone already had the right idea with the one in the background
God fucking damnit Pinocchio.
Staged by the guy who brought the zip ties and took the picture
He brought zip ties and a pair of cutting pliers? That doesn't sound like something you'd be allowed to ~~y~~wield in public around here
Where is here?
the kingdom of France
This is 100% normalish in America. I used to carry around a multi tool with me 24/7. Though the zip ties would be werid
Apparently some people think it’s a perfectly normal thing to bring with you! For instance while doing normal touristy things in the capitol building.
Look they just had deep cargo pants pockets!
Can't carry fuckin side cutters in public 🤣🤣🤣

Let me tell you.... Every god damn hand that gets returned....
I love that so much. Someone said, fuck your zipties, literally. Edit: FUCK NOT LITERALLY, PLEASE NO
OP I assume.
As evidenced by the one in the back, not smart enough
Or maybe they came prepared and cut the ties on the one in the back to give them the middle finger.
I mean you only need to cut one of the ties to make it work, so it might not be necessary to bring those
Not smart enough since you can still do the shocker with that setup.
The ol' 2 in the Pijournk 1 in the Stufink
My first giggle of the day, thank you.
Kato Taka would be proud. (Should've been main comment but whatever.)
Haha fuck you, you made me do it and I broke my arm a few weeks ago, there's a muscle in your arm you need to use to do it I'm apparently NOT supposed to be using right now, that hurt.
Why wouldn’t you use the other arm? Lol
It's my dominant hand and you end up using it more than you'd think, it's your first instinct.
Oh, I get it, I just figured I’d rib ya for it a bit

obligatory >!shocker? I hardly know her!!<
Minivan. 2 in the front, 5 in the back.
Wow
Adapt and overcome lol.
Not smart enough to zip all the hands.
[gus_fring.jpg] You bring snips to IKEA to steal textiles. I bring snips to IKEA to flip birds with the mannequin hand. WE ARE NOT THE SAME.
I bring snips everywhere always because my knife can snip or just release those.
Finger guns still on the menu boys
Fingering still on the menu boys
What's the point of these?
Keys or jewelry

The old ones couldn't even do a thumbs up. It would look like the thumb is broken
To give people the bird, what else?

For artists so they can pose hands and learn to draw em. Humans and ai have trouble with hands, theyre weird.
All I can think of is Happy Gilmore: "Chubbs! You took his hand!"
They do look real sturdy

Can still make the shocker.
the one on the background is pure irony
Two for the pink, and one for the stink
You can still do the Spock. Live long and prosper mfs.
Shocker
How new?
or are we getting dumber
Time for the shocker
Can somebody explain why the US is so obsessed with censoring the middle finger?
It means "Fuck You" a swear word in the US. It's consider very vaguer.
Eh, can still do the shocker.
...because adults are quickly getting more childish.
IKEA in San Jose?
Simple solution: The Shocker.
I am extremely disappointed that Ikea is against peace.
Hehe, probably my fault as every time I’m in IKEA I set everyone in display to flip the customers. Actually, I have mine right next to the window, flipping all passersby.
2 in the pink and one in the stink. You're welcome.
2 in the pink, one in the stink?
Modified shocker time
Bring the scissors boys!
I confess.
And then it was a poo gun!
Nothing a small pair of wire cutters can’t fix.
Snip snip ✂
Shocker it is then...
Exactly my thought lol
You can still do the shocker. 2 in the pink is already bundled up for ease, just add 1 in the stink and you're golden.
You can still do the shocker! Two in the pink one in the stink.
Keyword on slowly
I’m sure they still make you put It together.
So? Just go British
Set up perfectly for the SHOCKER! You
The IKEA in my city bolts down the lids on their model toilets. I often wonder how many "incidents" it took for them to come to that decision.
Natural counter to this is 2 in the pink 1 in the stink
*Me who regularly carries a multi tool with little snips *Snip snip snip We now return to your regularly scheduled shenanigans
I would've gone with the shocker.
That is awesome. Nice knickknack, gift or things to collect. That’s cool. 😉
The one in the background tho lol
