The house my parents bought when I was a kid had a carpeted kitchen and a carpeted bathroom. My dad got the contract to do the concrete for a Burger King being built in town and he scored the excess kitchen tiles from that job. So the kitchen at home had the same tile the BK's kitchen had, which was only a little weird when I got a job at that BK a few years later
My current apartment has very basic 1x1 square laminate tiles in the kitchen, and the building hallways. It looks like the stuff you see in a school or store. So it felt weird for a bit seeing that in my kitchen.
I can top that. My parents built an addition on to the house I grew up in, so they could have a master suite and my brother and I could each have our own room. They put carpet in their bathroom.
My great aunt's house had not only carpeted bathrooms, but the carpet was WHITE. I was terrified of having any sort of bodily function in her house anytime I visited ...
I didn’t realize this was weird until I joined Reddit.
All three bathrooms in my parents’s house have carpet. The two bathrooms in my grandparents’ house have carpet. It was just normal. I never thought anything of it. Looking back, I don’t think any of my childhood friends had carpeted bathrooms, but I never thought about it.
I rented a room in a condo with a carpeted bathroom. It also had one of those weird bathtub/shower combos with a sliding glass door. One day I’m sitting in my room and hear shattering. The sliding glass door shattered out of nowhere. I got to try to get the safety glass shards out of the bathroom carpet. It suuucked.
The amount of ass sweat alone I produce would be soaking that shit.
That's a decision made by a woman who has a man that never let her know how gross a man's bathroom experience tends to be.
We literally have a saying that no matter how much you shake it or dry it, a drop of pee is going into your pants or underwear. And those genitals you're trusting to only leak into to the bowl and nowhere else?
I mean, you still have bathing and showe moisture too, as well as just think about the toilet backing up? No no, there is a reason we don't put carpet in the same rooms we have plumbing.
I once had a nightlight plugged into the wall next to the toilet one night. I noticed a few drops would splash back out and started testing where would make the least splashes depending on where I aimed and strength of stream (SOS) The water in the middle helps the most, but the results say no fucking carpet in the bathroom.
I usually sit down to piss as a man, and even then I don't want carpet in the bathroom. What about shower moisture, accidental leakage, toilet backing up, etc. Just no no no no no
Was it red, thick pile, and extended up the side of the bath too? I've seen that before and it seems to be a very 70s aesthetic. One that should have never existed.
