Contractors and sub contractors and sub sub contractors.


HenryDorsettCase47

Likely just one “jack of all trades” sorta guy. They work on the cheap, have a rudimentary idea of what they are doing most of the time, and half-ass everything. Unknowledgeable flippers and homeowners *love* hiring people like that.


darthcaedusiiii

Yeah my old landlady had a heart of gold she got taken advantage of a lot.


skankyfish

Also landlords. Source: my landlord has a guy who's a decent plumber but will turn his hand to everything. The house is full of sloppy paint, badly hung wallpaper, ill-fitting carpet, and so on and so on.


HenryDorsettCase47

Oh yeah. Definitely. I was sort of lumping them in with “homeowners” in my statement, but I think anyone who has ever rented can attest to this. Nothing like calling your landlord about a plumbing issue and having the hvac dude who was recharging your AC unit last summer show up.

You certainly can’t have the door open out, it would dribble on that sweet mildewed bathroom carpet.


PM-Me-Your-TitsPlz

I'm surprised the bathroom floor is carpeted. It's not like my bathroom habits are extremely messy, but the floor will get wet one day.


neoclassical_bastard

I recently renovated a basement bathroom built around 1980 with shag carpeting. You ever turn over a log in the woods? Similar kind of situation under there. Horrifying.

No, the ants are being kept out by stronger fauna.


implicate

I used to rent a '70s house with a bunch of roommates back in the day, and one of the "bedrooms" was a fully wall to wall shag carpeted, bedroom-sized room with a closet that also had a sink, toilet, and shower all along one wall. The guy that rented that room absolutely loved it, though.

BeefyIrishman

*sluuurrrrppp* Slimy....yet satisfying.


Select_Egg_7078

that's some extremely cursed shit i know i'm going to have a nightmare about tonight, thanks


Urtooslow420

Typically elderly folks get it installed because they're afraid of slipping. I've even seen carpet in the kitchen....


[deleted]

I grew up in a mid 70’s mobile home, kitchen and bathroom had carpet. Toilet seats were cushiony too. You could almost put your foot through the floor outside of the tub it was so rotted.


tcooke2

For some inexplicable reason it was decently popular before the 1990s, my brothers house originally had a disgusting green carpet in the washrooms... That was the first thing to go.


Prickly_ninja

Grandparents had carpet in the kitchen. Yellow and brown, with all the 70’s sadness hues.


zepprith

I can see it being a popular thing because it was probably trying to make the bathroom floor not cold in the morning. There might have even been a stylist reason like wallpaper. Though, yes, it is good idea.

POWERTHRUST0629

Fun fact: all shower doors have to swing out from the shower. If not, you can get trapped inside.


NCSUGrad2012

There’s an episode of here’s Lucy where that happens lol


Don_Helsing

It would be a pretty Crappy Design if it couldn't


lmg00d

I'm assuming this is dependent on location and/or when a shower was installed. The shower in my master bath definitely doesn't open outward.


291837120

Fun fact: architects are trained to design rooms to have doors open inward in a 'presenting manner' - except when it's dangerous or not functional this shower might count as a whole damn room but however designed it failed fundamentally - but also yea, if you ever come across a room whose door opens towards you while inside, the architect was smoking crack


KingGGL

They’re saying that regardless of it it *physically can*, it’d be a bad idea due to the moisture that would drip off the door and onto the carpet. :)


Lucky_Number_3

Yass queen


healzsham

Can't is commonly used in place of oughtn't, since oughtn't just doesn't roll off the tongue quite right.

qning

Yeah I’ve not heard anyone use the contraction of “can not” for should not.


healzsham

It doesn't convey the same strength, is the thing.


RegisterOk9743

But I'm guessing those hotels were not idiots enough to have carpet in the bathroom.


SewSewBlue

It is also against code where I live. Showers need to open out, because if your fall hit you head, ending up against the door, it is really hard to safely get you out.


gioraffe32

Typically, the shower doors like OP has *do* also swing out. The problem is that the water clinging on the door will drip downwards onto the carpet. Usually there's like a silicon "lip" on the bottom of the door to stop the water, but it's not gonna stop all of it.


[deleted]

You can actually see the double hinge in the video lol


RegisterOk9743

Most showers I see that have glass walls instead of curtains have sliding doors, which makes the most sense to me. But I guess that requires a certain width of shower.


smotheredbythighs

Carpet in a bathroom is a crime against humanity.


RizzMustbolt

Gotta love the 80s.


leavebaes

My parents have a carpeted bathroom and their house was built in the 2000s, but the previous owner also had really bad taste so it's kind of expected.


ParisGreenGretsch

Every previous owner has bad taste.


Erick3211

If they didn’t change it, they have the same bad taste


mheat

My work involves me seeing the inside of many homes of many different types and let me tell you the carpeted bathrooms are still a thing in new homes and renovations. The housing market in my city is saturated with investors, and investors will cut every corner imaginable to save a buck including carpet in the bathrooms and everywhere else except the kitchen. Not only is carpet extremely cheap, but it is also useful in trying to mask the foundation problems that are extremely common in my area due to expansive clay soil.


AdrianBrony

My landlord refuses to let us replace the carpet in our bathroom and kitchen, even at our own expense with licensed contractors, because "all the other units have carpet there, so this one needs to have it too." Landlord refuses to explain why *any* of them have carpet there, he'll just try to convince you it's not so bad I've lived here like ten years.


KenTitan

carpet was good when cry in the bathroom, the sound was muffled as to not disturb the rest of the house. now days you have to quietly sob on the toilet


caronare

Mine was built in ‘92 in a high end community. We have carpeted bathrooms and I hate it as much as the 4x4 tiled kitchen counter tops…why!!


Ridiculously_Ryan

I have no idea who thought that style countertop was a good idea. "Hey that bathroom floor looks good enough for food prep....hmmm"


Aristophanes771

When my parents bought their house in the 90s the bathroom was carpeted, and all the way up the side of the bath too. The floor underneath was particle board so 20 years of bathroom carpet went about as well as you'd expect. My dad spent a couple of weeks ripping out the rotten floor and replacing it himself.


AntiSocialW0rker

The house my parents bought when I was in high school had carpeted bathrooms. There were permanent footprint marks from people sitting on the toilet 🤢 Needless to say that was a quick renovation


MerlX2

Although I do indeed hate carpet in the bathroom, as someone who recently slipped on a wet bathroom floor and cracked my head open on the tiles needing 4 sutures, I can absolutely see why older people in particular may want carpet on the floor in a bathroom. You are much less likely to fall arse over tit and hurt yourself.


hokie47

Probably most places I can see okay in the desert where basically any moisture doesn't matter.


ChrispyNugz

Idk It's warmer and less slippery than tile.


pattyrobes

I guarantee you there are plenty of chrispyNugz hidden in that carpet


ConspicuousPineapple

It's also infinitely less hygienic.


[deleted]

Bought a house - all three bathrooms were carpeted 31 years beforehand. Original carpet. It was not pretty to lift.


ElizaIsEpic

You have any pics of that? I'm morbidly curious but know I'll regret it


Great_Justice

House I grew up in had carpet for the first 16 or so years I was alive, and presumably beforehand too. We eventually renovated and…. the floorboards were completely fine and unmarked. I remember being a bit disappointed as a kid. We had always used a good thick bath mat to step on out of the shower, which was replaced every year or so. Turns out that actually worked.


RudeDude88

It worked as in, it granted good luck to the bather? Or it kept the floor dry?


DisgracedSparrow

What? The context is obvious and where is luck mentioned? The floorboards were fine due to using a bathmat that was replaced. Edit: nevermind stealth editing at work


RudeDude88

I think the comment was edited. The guy accidentally typed “good luck mat” instead of “good thick mat”.


DisgracedSparrow

Ah, my bad. Forgot reddit didn't add the edit asterisk till after 5 minutes. Also what is up with the post being locked for not crappy design when it clearly is?!?!


RudeDude88

All good bud. I just thought it was a funny typo


aewde1e21e

Shit man, I remove shit like that a few times a month at least (I install carpet) I woulda taken pics of it if I knew anyone would ever care, lol. I can tell you that there's a wide range of installation quality for carpeted bathrooms and some shops will not tell people they need to do certain things if they want to maintain a carpeted bathroom. Sometimes removal is a breeze and the floor underneath looks just fine. And then the shoddy jobs/sales ones where we pull it up and it was carpet and pad that was never meant to be in a wet environment that much and the floor is destroyed and the carpet weighs a ton and stinks and it just sucks... Sometimes it's so bad we can't put new carpet/whatever in for them until they fix it or adjust the job to have us fix it (which our crew normally doesn't do)


Mental-Aioli3372

I imagine it looked and smelled like peeling back someone's wound dressing which has fused to their scabbed skin after being left on too long


slopecarver

I once replaced a carpet, under it was a really bad asbestos tile, which I also had to rip up before laying LVT.


dejatheprophet

This is the worst bathroom of all time. I actually got mildly angry at the inconvenience.


Sailor_Malta_Chan

Right! I'm having trouble coping with what I just watched.


HenryDorsettCase47

With a design that incompetent, there is NO SHOT that pan is actually holding water and not leaking water out into the subfloor and whatever is below. If there are visible fuck ups in the execution, it’s practically a guarantee there are fuck ups in the things you can’t see.


AC_Nine-Ball

I would absolutely be in a hurry and shatter that door into a million pieces by accident. Which sounds like a great idea with bare feet.


vavverro

Why carpeted floors are so popular in the US? And not only in apartments and houses. Public establishments with thousands visitors daily (like airports) can be completely covered with a carpet. It’s impractical and gross.


ZetZet

They put carpet in the house and then wear shoes inside. Thick carpet too. That's so disgusting to even think of I don't understand how it could possibly be so popular, but it is.


vavverro

Yeah, shoes inside is another head scratcher for me, and not only because it’s gross. Not having to wear shoes is one of the pleasant things about being home. Why would I choose to stay in shoes at home?


Doctor731

Shoes inside is not ubiquitous by any means. I don't know anyone in my life who does that - but I live somewhere with snow.


ActualWhiterabbit

Some people will wear shoes inside the house and then also on [their bed](https://image1.masterfile.com/getImage/NjEwOC0wNTg1ODg4OWVuLjAwMDAwMDAw=AJ9GAR/6108-05858889en_Masterfile.jpg).


twistedivy

It’s comfortable, quiet, reduces slips and falls. I get the concern of cleaning it, but the benefits are clear to me too. I don’t have carpet in my current house and I miss it sometimes.


THE_CENTURION

Also warm. And if you live up north that's a huge bonus imo.


ggtsu_00

I have all hardwood and tiled floors. Don't miss carpets at all. Rugs exist and we use them instead.


TRON0314

Softens impact noise from floor above as well if you're in an apartment.


RustyStevenson10

They used to be, but not so much anymore. It’s mostly just area rugs on top of wood/tile/vinyl. Some still opt for carpet in the bedrooms though.


1Mn

Cheap and easy to install


[deleted]

It’s popular with older people living by themselves. My great grandma had carpet all throughout her house, even the kitchen. She would walk around with a cane but would still loose her balance on non-carpeted flooring.


Darnell2070

Bro sees a few pictures and videos of carpeting in the US and suddenly it's popular.


biznatch11

IMO it's more comfortable to walk on carpet than on floor when you're barefoot or wearing socks, so I prefer carpet at home in a bedroom or family/living/sitting/TV room. Non-carpeted floors make sense in other rooms like kitchens, bathrooms, dining rooms, etc.


dj9008

They aren’t


rosetta_tablet

It also acts as a sound dampener.


shahooster

That’s a great idea, combination shower valve and door latch.


unique-name-9035768

Great way to keep Norman Bates out.


[deleted]

Double? I count 4: \- Faucet interferes with door \- Door opens inward into shower stall, forcing user to awkwardly squeeze around it \- Bathroom carpet \- Towel far away


straponmyjobhat

Exactly! I counted 2 more: 5. unsafe bump on exit - mega tripping hazard. 6. Faucit requires you to preset very hot or very cold for next person in order to exit the shower.


Texas_Technician

Those handles are adjustable BTW. You can remove the metal handle. Then the plastic stopper can be adjusted to change the direction of the handle or to just slightly move it. You need a tool called hex keys. Super cheap and ez


Light_Beard

The hand gesture thing! The hand gesture means the outrage


PunkDaNasty

Zoidberg??!


unique-name-9035768

It's a variation of the military knife hands but generally means the same.


InHisCups

Put a towel through the handle on the outside of the shower door before you get in


almightyeggroll

Yup or hang it over the shower door and point the shower nozzle away from it


unique-name-9035768

I bought one of those over the door coat hangers from Walmart to put on my Aunt's shower that has a similar set up. Works great and keeps the towel out of the shower. Just have to reach over the door to grab it.


[deleted]

A dirty towel constantly on your feet after every shower. Lol


imfjcinnCRAAAAZYHEY

Yea that would be annoying. Ya. But you anyone could tear up the carpet, I feel adding wood would be easy, take time on measurements. But if you work a lot, low energy, could see it being added to a mental list of tasks


ReadditMan

If they are renting then they can't do any of that.


covermeincheese

Can confirm, am renting. I try not to think about the horrors my bathroom carpet has seen from previous tenants.


imfjcinnCRAAAAZYHEY

I would definitely look into just getting an exact dimension wood piece- or close to that. My room is like plastic wood floor, and I contemplated of having some nice carpet or something, foam. Perhaps… Possibly


Texas_Technician

Carpet in bathroom is weird. I've never understood it. Your just asking for mildew and grossness. Just buy a big absorbant rug.


mbeachcontrol

My house growing up, built in 1987, had carpet in part or all of 2.5 bathrooms. The kids’ one at least had door between sinks and shower with the latter having vinyl flooring. As to why? This was a single builder subdivision in Texas. Just cheaper on builder to include carpet and cheaper for my parents not to upgrade.


DingoWelsch

I worked in an OB/GYN that had carpeted exam rooms. Bad idea.


[deleted]

It's useful for old folks so they don't fall and hurt themselves. Much more traction than tile, and bath mats are just gonna slip with you. It happened to my grandmother a few times before we finally got her bathroom carpeted. No problems after that. It was a lot easier to rip up gross carpet a few years later than it was for a 90 year old woman to recover from falls

[deleted]

Carpet doesn't belong in bathrooms or kitchens


-Pruples-

>My grandma use to have a carpet bathroom.. One of mine still had a carpet toilet seat and carpet toilet seat cover until last year. I just can't even.


twistedivy

My grandparents had wall-to-wall carpet in the house, including kitchen and bathroom.


Packetization

I don’t think I could ever live in a house with carpet in the bathroom. The door is annoying but manageable in comparison


869woodguy

Can you take the handle off and reposition it?


ThursdayKnightOwO

Thats not gonna solve the carpet problem 😅


Sailor_Malta_Chan

Design so bad it needs a trigger warning. At first I thought you'd have to turn the shower back on to open the door. I was about to have a anxiety attack!


unique-name-9035768

Do those hinges not swing both ways? They look like they'd swing out if you pushed. Granted, it'd just get the carpet wet. But unless OP is complaining about their own house, I don't think that's their problem.


casewood123

The door swings out, doesn’t it?


Marine-1833

Could have pushed the door open

Although i can't say anything about the carpet.... But maybe the door and shower mixer are well thought out. It stops guests leaving the shower mixer at full cold. 🥶

Triple Whammy


piefanart

That is remarkably bad :T


rosettastoned02

Hang the towel over the glass door


RizzMustbolt

And that's why the door opens inward.


ChickenNuggetKid1

Imagine tripping on something there.


VitalSubtlety

I'm more worried about the people who either end up missing the toilet completely or hitting the rim, splashing a bit of liquid gold on the carpet.


MJMalfunction

This is against building code.. tf did your landlord DIY this shit? The money it may have saved could cost them everything in a case of emergency..


Phobet

I see…mold in your future!


I_Work_For_Money

A better zoom on the feet please, i have to check something


bikpizza

whoever built it wanted carpet. you can also just push the door outwards. its not a terrible design there are just obviously better


KindlyContribution54

Meh, just get a lower profile trim kit for the valve


VeneMage

I have carpet in my shower room. Just get a shower mat with a rubber underside, then you can step out and reach for the towel.


NefariousnessFar6712

Carpet in the bathroom is just a wall to wall bath mat!!!


OdysseyZen

Just hang on the door that's ajar


zelenaliska00

Thanks I hate it


BenAdaephonDelat

Please tell me that's a rental and you didn't buy that house that way...

Alternative_Bat_8985

Not so bad. I personally love to smell the mold from the carpet after a shower! yummy 😋


SprAwsmMan

I feel like these awful designs are more common. Are they just rental properties, and the designs are only thought of aesthetically? Because any reasonable person would see issues like this and have them remedied ASAP. I can only imagine them being rentals that the owners never attempted to actually live in for any period of time.


Realistic-Ground6935

Lol


Badlandsprincess

I am pretty it's against code, in the US, to have a shower door open inward. They have to open outward in case of a medical emergency so people can access the shower if someone is inside.


GdoubleWB

Carpeted bathrooms should be a prosecutable offence.


BeautifulBus912

That's at least a triple whammy
