Insanity
"GOD DAMMIT!" Ichigo heard Rukia curse from the other room.
Ichigo chuckled. Earlier this morning he and Rukia had been out at IKEA (1) looking for a new desk lamp when Rukia had seen the "Cutest night stand ever that she just had to have". The night stand was a rose colour with little white rabbits on it. It was meant for a child's bedroom, but all Rukia cared about of course was the fact that it had rabbits on it. After much whining and pleading Ichigo had agreed to buy it for Rukia on the condition that she be the one to assemble it. They had left IKEA with Ichigo carrying a new lamp for his desk and the parts for Rukia's new dresser.
"…stupid screw! WHY WON'T YOU WORK! FIT DAMN YOU"
As amusing as it was to hear Rukia yell at an inanimate object, Ichigo decided that he better go investigate before Rukia completely lost it and decided to take her anger out on something other than the screw.
"Having troubles Rukia?" Ichigo asked her as he watched her furiously attempt to screw a screw in with the screwdriver.
"This stupid screw won't go in! I've been turning it and turning it for the last ten minutes and it won't go in."
"Rukia if you have been screwing it for ten minutes and it hasn't gone in then there must me something wrong with. Maybe you should try another screw."
"I don't have another. The night table needs eight, and there was only eight in the package."
"Well we can always—"
"NO! I want my Chappy Nights Stand and no lousy screw is going to stand in my way! No stupid screw is going to get the better of Rukia Kuchiki! I'll make it go in if it takes all night!"
"Rukia, you know one of the definitions of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result." (2)
"You know what another definition is Ichigo? Annoying your girlfriend when she is angry and has a sharp pointy object in her hand."
"I think I'm going to go back to studying."
"Good choice."
And so Ichigo left Rukia to continue her battle with the plastic screw.
(1) IKEA is a Swedish furniture store. The majority of furniture is bought unassembled, and is meant to be assembled by the customer at home. Anybody who has ever assembled IKEA furniture knows that they have nice stuff, but assembling it can be a nightmare.
(2) Albert Einstein is supposed to have said "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
