Naked man gets his, er, meatball stuck in THIS $7.99 IKEA chair

And the company’s response is PRICELESS! - by Amy Sinclair
  • 15 Apr 2019

When Claus Jorstad was recovering from a knee injury, he bought buying the iconic Marius Stool from IKEA to sit on while he showered was a ripper idea. 

Er, no. 

Naked man gets his, er, meatball stuck in THIS $7.99 IKEA chair

It seems his plan backfired in a spectacular way during one long, hot shower when the steamy water caused the holes in the seat to expand - and Claus’ testicle managed to get stuck. 

‘Sitting there and noticing the accident, I bent down to see what happened, I realized the little nutter has got stuck,' Claus, from Norway, told the Daily Mail. 

He went on to say that he was forced to sit in the water for a VERY long time - so much so that the water ran freezing cold. It was only then, Claus believes, that the icy water caused his testicle to shrink again and he could free his little friend from its IKEA prison. 

Crikey. 

The man decided to take to Facebook to warn others about the dangers of showering nude in close proximity to the Marius stool, earning hundreds of hilarious responses on social media. 

‘IKEA renamed this to Nütstuk stool,’ said one. Added another: ‘Bro I’d sue their balls off!!’

IKEA

Claus' post soon went viral!

Claus also received an amazing response from the Swedish superstore! 

They wrote: ‘Hey Claus. We recommend that you take the stool out of the shower... or that you sit on it with the right uniform on and in the right setting. If you choose to keep it in the shower, make sure you are well dressed for your next sea excursion.’

All good advice. OR you can do what Claus did, and just put a washcloth over the stool BEFORE sitting on it in the shower. Should’ve thought of that in the first place, right Claus?
