Shag carpet in bathrooms. Anything else is just plain trashy.

You joke, but my parents bought a nice brand new house in Metairie in 1974. Same green shag carpeting in the rest of the house (kitchen and entry had linoleum tile) was in the hall bath and master bath.

It was a common 70s thing to put carpet in the bathroom-- aunt and uncle's new house in 1977 had it; some older friends of the family had renovated their WWII era house and had it in theirs.

Thankfully, in 1982 when my parents renovated, they replaced the shag in the bathrooms with real tile and the shag in the rest of the house with a nice pile.

I pee sitting down

My parents old house that was built in the 70s had carpet in one of the bathrooms. I never thought it was weird or nasty until just now.
