This man’s complaint to Ikea goes viral because it’s comedy gold

You couldn't make this up!

Meet Claus Jørstad, a politician and photographer living in Norway.

Claus has a bad knee at the moment and is currently using a stool to sit down when in the shower.

He recently purchased a red stool by the name of ‘Marius’ from IKEA for this very purpose.

However, things didn’t exactly go to plan when of his testicles became stuck in one of the stool’s holes. Yes really.

Claus decided the only thing for it was to write a Facebook post explaining the predicament, presumably so that the same thing doesn’t happen to someone else.

Speaking to Mail Online, Claus explained how his testicle began trapped in the stool when the warm temperatures of the shower caused it to swell

Ikea had the perfect response for Claus, writing in the comment section on the Facebook post:

“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”.

Claus appeared to take the advice on board and later shared a photo where the stool was now covered with a washcloth, ensuring the same thing didn’t happen again.

The Facebook post, which you can see below, has been shared over 13,000 times and to be fair, it is pretty funny.
