I called Ikea to find out why I haven’t gotten a refund yet and the woman at the customer service call center said, “I can’t tell you what it is, but something very bad has happened.”

People offended by people in pursuit of greatness are mediocre. They know this, and that's why people who are on their personal journey towards greatness bother them.
