Sitting there playing FIFA with his feet curling the edge of the rug. I have asked him not to do it about 3 million times. He says he doesn't realise he's doing it... which makes me even angrier.

Worse than this though ... when GUESTS do it. Aaaaargh. Even my 2yo does it now because he's seen dh do it.

Aibu to think this is one of the most annoying things in the world?

Move the rug Confused no reason to ever get upset over something so stupid.

HeySoulSister · 02/08/2014 21:09

I am a lone voice in a house of rug curlers.

I just got rid of the rug

EhricLovesTheBhrothers · 02/08/2014 21:33

Ohhhhhhh I fucking hate this. XH will drag the coffee table around either towards or away from him, catch the edge of the rug and leave it like that! Fucking hell. I feel your pain.

ButtonBoo · 02/08/2014 21:36

But it feels nice, scrunched up under my toes Wink

PandaNot · 02/08/2014 21:38

You need a bigger, heavier rug.

AgentZigzag · 02/08/2014 23:03

Could you use some double sided carpet tape to stick it down?

Press the power button on the games console - that will get his attention. Do it every time he curls the rug and I am sure he will quit it.

Castlemilk · 03/08/2014 02:33

Electric wire around the edges of the rug. You with controls. His feet sit tidily on the rug = good boy! He starts his nonsense... the instant the rug is scrunched - BRZZAP!

Bogeyface · 03/08/2014 03:01

Rug curling would annoy me. Its a rug not a physiotherapy device for your fucking toes!!!!!! YANBU.

But what annoys me more is my mother refusing to remove the rug in the lounge despite the fact that my rather doddery father has tripped on it twice. In her eyes, he should be more careful, despite being profoundly deaf and partially sighted. She wont tape it down to stop the (natural) curl on the corners, she wont get rid and she wont stop fucking moaning.

I wouldnt mind quite so much, but also complains that when he trips she has to catch him. Am I missing something?!

This! Pavlovs dog learned soon enough. Or failing that, an electric cattle prod. Either way, he stops!
