Man complains to IKEA after getting his testicles caught in a shower stool
Norwegian Claus Jørstad fortunately saw the funny side of his ordeal
A MAN has complained to furnishings giant IKEA after getting his TESTICLE trapped in a shower stool bought from the store.
Norwegian politician Claus Jørstad has to sit down in the shower due to knee problems - but he found he had more than just knee problems after perching on the iconic "Marius" stack-able stool, which costs £3.
After freeing himself - thanks to the water getting cold enough to shrink the affected testicle - the 45-year-old took to Facebook to complain - describing himself as a "free man again".
Since posting his complaint, his embarrassing tale has been shared 13,000 times, and he has received an apology from the store - who recommended he somehow cover the holes in the seat of the chair.

Speaking to , Claus, from Alta in the north of Norway, explained: "I started pondering how the hell I was gonna get outta the mess. After a lot of pondering forth and back, I realised I had no bloody ideas.
"The water turned cold by itself. So I started freezing. The water got cold. Even more cold than my mother-in-law’s smile when I married her daughter.
"In despair, I reached for the hairdryer to keep warm while pondering, and that’s when I realised the nut has got loose from the squirrel stool."
An IKEA representative said they were sorry to hear about his ordeal - to which Claus joked he's still on the hunt for a decent shower stool, but perhaps this time without holes in it.
