He has the company travel-card
so he can take someone to travel with him on local public transport for free on weekends
She lives close to the office
so she decides to cut her expenses and walk everywhere
IKEA is very far away
definitely she can’t walk there by herself
Back when they first got together
she asked if he could bring her there
and he said yes, for sure
She waited and waited
and once she even got grumpy because she felt like it took him ages for them to go to IKEA
where in fact it took less than an hour to go there from her home with public transport
She waited and waited
finally at some point she also felt she should be fine without the things from IKEA
(and also because sometimes she didn’t have any more money left)
Finally
one day
after he got back from Greece with his car
he told her
we are going to IKEA next week
OHLALA
HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAY
So she started writing a shopping list
a pretty long list
They spent the whole afternoon in IKEA
walked through the whole shop twice
eating and drinking the IKEA food
and ended up spending a lottttt of money there
but now she’s happy
and he’s happy
guess mostly because she’s happy
