they’re held over the seat by a small plastic ring that sits inside the fabric. when you piss and poo poo all over yourself and one, you can just take it off and pop it in a washing machine

Yeah, probably.

One of the houses my parents rented while I was growing up had carpeted bathrooms. The upstairs one featured mushrooms that would grow around the toilet base.

someone I knew from my hometown way back when was bragging about his first home and how he was gonna put carpeting in his kitchen and I wondered if there’s some sort of Hippocratic Oath equivalent for contractors to not ruin someone’s house intentionally by doing dumb poo poo like that

I feel like contractors would just give him a stupid high bid for said stupid project. If they accept then welp, guess I'm putting carpet in a kitchen and taking the rest of this month off

I don't think there's any professional standard but there are of course building codes. I think some localities do have specific rules about what kind of floor you can have in the plumbed rooms

obviously poster Ammanas keeps their toothbrushes in hermetically sealed containers located in a separate room from their toilets, and always puts the lid down and then covers the toilet in clingfilm before flushing their massive wet shits…but the rest of us have toothbrushes covered in aerosolized feces :science:

50s to 90s, midwest. The 70s were probably the most offensive when you include the salmon pink or seafoam green fixtures.

the house I grew up in had a carpeted bathroom in the master bath.

actually I think all of the bathrooms were carpeted, although they redid the one by my bedroom when I was in high school for obvious reasons.

the house was built in the 80s lmao

it did, ducts in the floor and ceiling both

they actually had to come back out because they did the ducts wrong under the house - code dictates that you need little 24" access paths dug everywhere underneath it here

Whats up almost done closing buddy. I am also constantly stressed out about it and the housing market here isn't nearly as bad as it is in other parts of the country.

we closed yesterday so now my stress shifts to making the place livable before the first mortgage payment is due in july so we can avoid paying double rent

7 weeks to paint, replace gross stained carpet with real flooring, and knock down a weird hanging wall

My home is a townhouse so in order to do new ducting we would have to rip out all the ceilings and many of the walls, assuming we could even find someone that would do it. So I'll just have to live with lovely air-circulation until we eventually move :/
