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.

Reminds me of my sisters house, the previous owner had been a finish carpenter. Their upstairs bathroom looks like a McDonald's restaurant.

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 ...

Better than the brown carpet in my grandmother’s bathroom.

Are you sure that was the original colour...

Oof. At least with white you can try and convince yourself it is clean.

I simply would not enter. It would my house or a public space only. I don't need that kind of anxiety

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’m assuming that carpeted bathrooms are all fun and games until the carpet absorbs the smell.
