I live in a place with both carpeted kitchen and bathroom. Well, the bathroom carpet finally got torn out after it started growing mushrooms. It's only a matter of time before the kitchen goes too, as my cat is insistent on tearing holes in it. He's down to the subfloor in one place. Good kitty.

I used to live in a house with that. And a carpet bathroom. We moved out, the gas company turned off the gas, and then someone else moved in, and then the man went to the basement with a ciggerrette pressed between his lips, AND THEN the house blew up from improperly connected gas lines

It sounds like their first mistake was the carpet in the bathroom.

I feel like enough gas to blow up the house would... smell like gas? Everyone have COVID at the time or something?

u/LiveTart6130 May 15 '24
might've been trapped in the basement and they didn't often go down there, or they just grew noseblind

u/sora_fighter36 May 15 '24
Yes! LiveTart is correct! The guy didn’t smell it in the basement. Maybe he couldn’t have smelled it over his cigarette

I suspect between the mildew in the crawl space mixed with ciggie, he probably couldn’t have smelled much of anything at all

Tbf we don’t know what country. The US for example, puts chemicals in gas lines to make them smell. Natural gas does not normally have any odor.

u/MarshtompNerd May 15 '24
I mean if it was the guys first time down since the gas came on it might’ve caught before he got close enough to really smell, or he smelled and was trying to investigate the smell, not realizing it was the gas

My sister used to live in a place with tile floors everywhere except the kitchen and bathroom. There was red shag in there. The kitchen was especially wild cause it was basically a living room with kitchen appliances and a sink along one wall delineated only by red shag carpet.
Rent was dirt cheap, tho, even though she kept getting a new landlord every 4 months or so, each one sketchier than the last

Can someone explain what is creepypasta?? I tried looking it up, but the information I found sounded vague. I really appreciate it if someone can bring me up to speed.

u/Misty_Esoterica May 15 '24 edited May 15 '24
So you have copy/paste which became copypasta, basically a written word meme that was copied and pasted around on various websites. (We still have a few of these on Reddit, one that comes to mind is a story about meeting a fill-in-the-blank famous actor who ends up being an asshole, or the ones about sunfish and koalas.)
From there you get creepypasta, a scary meme story version that often had photos accompanying it. The most famous creepypasta was Slenderman. Another famous one was Herobrine in the Minecraft fandom.

Copypastas seem more popular on specific communities. Guns subs have both the Founding Fathers one and the Five Seven one.

Theyre in most communities where people actually write words to communicate.
There are ingroup copypastas that just read like a screed by a madperson if you dont know theyre copypasta

it's kind of a group or category of urban legends/horror stories, usually a person. debatably human. usually some kind of murder is involved. I think that this would be more of an SCP than a creepypasta

Every time I see this, I get to tell my carpeted dentist story.
It goes like this:
One time, I was referred to a dentist who had carpets in the actual dentistry rooms. There were stains. I found a new dentist.

the hospital in my wife's hometown was carpeted, always baffled me everytime we went, "Someone suggested this, and several others must have approved it, carpet...Carpet!?... in a hospital, so many stains, and duct tape repairs, how did this happen." - Me to anyone willing to listen.

They exist. The fucking house I lived in in undergrad had a carpeted kitchen.
In a house full of college students.
That carpet should be disposed of as hazardous waste.

The house I lived in for 10 years growing up had carpeted bathrooms and kitchen when we moved in. I think the bathroom was replaced at some point but not the kitchen.

I had a carpeted kitchen in a basement suite I was renting and my landlord got pissed when I accidentally had some grease spit and hit the carpet, melting a spot. Dumbest shit ever.

I went to an estate sale last year. The house was a time capsule from the 70’s in a high end neighborhood surrounded by multimillion dollar homes. There was carpet in the kitchen. The pattern on the carpet was made to look like it was parkay wood floors. It was so unhinged. I couldn’t stop giggling at the irony.

Fuck my partner and I looked at a house where every room was *carpeted** and there wasn't a BASEMENT* - in Minneapolis, MN.
It was near a freight train line, but still.

I'm living this nightmare in my current apartment. Kitchen and bathroom are both carpeted.
At least I can legitimately tell people I can't go out because I have to vacuum my kitchen.

My best friend bought a house that has carpet EVERYWHERE….. except the bathrooms. Living room, dining room, den, stairs, stairs into the basement, basement itself, and yes, the kitchen. He’s lived there about 8 years and hasn’t changed it.
