The OP in this story willingly went to IKEA with his girlfriend and agreed to the things she was putting into the cart. They just moved in together, so naturally they needed essentials to make their home feel more like a home. OP is used to a bachelor lifestyle and needs to learn about comprises and working together. He didn't think it was necessary to have rugs, soap dispensers or bed side tables - you know normal and typically needed stuff. The bill came out to $1,400 and OP's girlfriend asked the cashier to split bill in half. OP was mortified and made a big scene in front of everyone.

Like bathroom rugs, a soap dispenser, a dresser even though she has one, she got a second matching beside table for my side of the

    Human body - bed, some art for the apartment and TWO giant rugs! One for the bedroom and one for the living room. And this is just some of the stuff I didn't think we needed. There was plenty more.

    Human body - We ended up having two full carts of stuff and before we even went to checkout she said "everything else we can just get on Amazon." I was genuinely in shock she thought we needed even more then all of this crap.
