About this listen
Ever been in IKEA so long you felt like you lived there?
Well… one woman actually did.
In this hilarious True Business Story, David W Byrne dives into the bizarre case of a woman in Japan who secretly moved into an IKEA store sleeping in the showroom beds, storing her belongings in the drawers, and eating every meal in the cafeteria without anyone noticing.
She blended in so perfectly that IKEA only caught her because staff found a used toothbrush in one of the display bathrooms and realised something… wasn’t very Swedish.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
🛏️ How she picked her “bedroom”
🍝 Her daily routine of meatballs and stealth
🎥 How CCTV finally exposed her
😂 And IKEA’s surprisingly chill reaction
A fun reminder that if you design a place like a home… someone, somewhere, will move in.
