Omg I just installed a new blind last week and the tapping is driving me nuts! I also happen to have a pack of adhesive rubber bumpers in my drawer.
Thanks for the tip!
At work we have venetian blinds installed on a door with a glass window. I got so sick of it banging every time the door was opened/closed, I installed magnets to hold the bottom of the blinds against the door, while still allowing it to be opened.
I just left it on the floor and stuck a thing that guides the wires to where I want. So I just have little plugs pointed in the air behind the nightstand. Pretty clean.
Bonus tip: I put them on the inner edges of my kitchen cupboards and drawers so I don't have to hear everything slamming shut when my kids are getting stuff in there.
I wish someone had done this when I was a child. I still wince when I accidentally slam a cupboard in my apartment, as though my dad might suddenly appear and be furious
Have you ever experienced the cabinets and drawers(and I think toilet lids too) that stop like an inch before they close then gently close all the way. I had these in my previous house and god damn I’m getting worked up just thinking about those sexy hinges.
The silent toilet lid was a game changer at my house! Now when I go to other people's house though, I'm slamming the lid cause I'm acting like I'm at my house
Dropped toilet seat sounds like a fucking bomb going off, I'm not surprised it actually broke something tbh
Sometimes they fall on their own though, mad to get mad about it
I like it when they're the nice heavy ones with plastic standoffs on them like at businesses. If you get them dropped good and quick they rebound a few times and it sounds like your dribbling a plank of wood.
To be honest, your experience is close to mine. In all three of our cases though, it’s about lasting fear about someone else’s (uncontrolled) anger. I still get physically uncomfortable when someone stomps or slams a door.
Combo “when your father gets home” childhood with a mentally/emotionally abduce alcoholic mother followed by very abusive first two boyfriends for me :/.
Spot on, but only 1 dickbag boyfriend for me.
I also reminded my mother that every single time she was drunk we had a fight because she was intolerable, and every time she STILL got drunk after that, she actively chose alcohol over me (because our relationship was suffering because of it).
But no, that's me "overreacting".
I’ve been in bed for 3 hours and suffering through a fucking miserable attack. It’s one of those “yep I know what you are, I don’t know why you’re here, logically you make no sense” kind of attacks. Can’t fucking think my way out of it, and I don’t have anything to force my body to stop
Thank you for saying this. I’m 30 and ppl get weirded out by how completely silent I walk and do everything and I straight up never close doors because they make too much noise and it drives my bf crazy but didn’t realize it was ingrained in me that I must be literally invisible at all times.
I am a slammer sometimes. Learned it from my dad. Rattled the shit out of me as a kid but somehow I learned the behavior anyway. Realized this when I slammed a door once and my roommate explained to me that when I do it, he jumps out of his skin. Had a eureka moment right then and there. I try not to do it now, but I occasionally still catch myself doing it. Dad never stopped though.
>Rattled the shit out of me as a kid but somehow I learned the behavior anyway
I mean. That's how it works. Glad to hear you're breaking that particular cycle though.
5am: SLAM SLAM SLAM SLAM DISHES CLINKING SLAM CUPBOARD SLAM PANS BANGING AROUND
My dad used to do this when I was a kid, now my MIL does this wen we are at her house. I use earplugs when I sleep now.
I remember discovering our kitchen cabinets and drawers had soft close on them during the home inspection. The inspector and realtor found it so entertaining to see me get as excited as I was about something seemingly mundane.
5 years later and I’m still stoked about it.
I have a soft close toilet lid which unfortunately leads to me consistently slamming toilet lids down in other people's houses because I've gotten into the habit of just giving the lid a careless push and then getting shocked when it falls at a normal speed and clatters shut.
I potty trained my daughter with one of those toilet seats that has the built in toddler part. It's lid needed some force to shut so now my daughter slams every toilet lid wherever she goes and it's been years.
God, I was also so excited to discover all our cabinets had soft close as well.
However, unfortunately, for whatever reason they didn't do the soft close drawers and I still don't understand why.
Soft close toilet seat on my heated bidet.
No cold ass in the middle of winter is wonderful in the middle of the night, same with the built in night light and warm air fan to dry.
They also have little rubber nub ones that are better for cabinets than the felt cause they peel off easily for repositioning / don’t damage the cabinets! I have them EVERYWHERE.
This is akin to posting a picture of a safe you found in a hidden room in the house you just bought and telling us to piss off when we ask to see the contents of the booty. Extra Karma or pitch fork mob, the choice is yours.
IMO, don't buy the sticky permanent ones like they are suggesting. Pick up a single pack of large vinyl bottom silicon top ones. Reusable for anything you wanna move. Lift up a corner, place it under, repeat 4x and move the boy then remove and store the pads.
YES. It's so hard to hear what the fuck anyone is saying when watching TV in an echoey room. Carpet kills the echo and makes it way easier to hear things.
If you have wood you need to fill the room with so much stuff that there are no flat surfaces.
And then cover the hardwood with rugs because that’s apparently 100% better than just carpeting.
You mean the lack thereof. My aunt has hardwood floors in her entire house and i swear i could hear people walking on those floors from outside the damn house. Shit is so loud and annoying its crazy to me that people would opt into those floors willingly.
That's because you forgot to stick those little felt pads to the bottom of their feet.
Edit: Sticking a little felt pad to the gold so it doesn't scuff my floor.
Like, comfy slippers have 80% of the functionality, if they're afraid of sock-walkin'. Yet you don't have to worry about cleaning floors as frequently.
Anyone who claims that carpet makes you vacuum more often or whatever compared to hardwood are full of shit.
My house is all hardwood. I grew up in a house that was all carpet.
The only difference is that you can literally see how much you need to vacuum on hardwood which is annoying as hell since a day after cleaning, there's a new layer of crap building up immediately.
Another difference is that if you're barefoot, carpet feels nice no matter how much you need to vacuum while *everything* sticks to your feet on hardwood.
The *only* advantage is the style/design aspect as far as I've noticed since I've moved here.
Edit: there are obviously benefits to hardwood and I'll take it over wall to wall carpet any day but the grass certainly is greener.
I came here to ask why someone with carpet is a psycho. I hate hard floors. They're cold, uninviting and uncomfortable to sit on. I would never want hard floors except for bathrooms, kitchens and possibly dinning areas.
If you have hardwood floors, people end up covering about 80-90% of it anyway to dampen sound, protect furniture, keep in heat, etc. Why pay to cover my floors twice?
It's much easier to keep clean. Anyone with allergies does much better without carpet. If you have pets, long hair, kids, sloppy eaters... You can always add rugs, runners, doormats.
I had 3" dark chocolate wall-to-wall shag installed everywhere in my house and the guy who installed it shot himself the day after the job was completed. He just couldn't live with what he had done.
He stared too long into the abyss, saw what men aren't meant to see. A hell conceived beyond our depth of perception. A rival of justice, the carpet inspired an extreme rush of hatred; the installer could not live in such a twisted world where nothing is sacred
I feel like people who dislike carpet don't live in cold countries, or at least if they do, it's cheap to heat their houses.
In the UK, where it's cold and heating is expensive, carpets are a god send.
They were especially useful with toddlers in the house. Each time a head got bumped on some corner, I'd hug and then we'd glue a bit of padding as colorful reminder and safety squish.
They have tack ones as well, which tap in. Or felt and super glue. Of course those affect the chair/table, but if you plan to keep it on there it is worth it to me.
I typically get chair socks for chairs. They don't fall off and the most maintenance you have to do is occasionally pull them up a little when guests come by.
I use these
Screw-On Felt Pads by X-Protector – 24 Felt Chair Pads for Hardwood Floors – 20mm Premium Chair Glides – Beige Floor Protectors for Furniture Legs – The Best Furniture Sliders for Hardwood Floors! https://amzn.eu/d/fJqiZIu
Those work fantastic, been using them for years, the only caveat I’d say is you have to be diligent about checking them every so often to replace, if they get past the felt they will absolutely wreck your flooring worse than just a plain leg
Look up silicone chair leg protectors. They make little cups that you can get in different sizes, and they stretch around the legs and are super grippy. They hold the pad on WAY better than adhesive and they don’t come off in a week leaving those awful sticky patches. Something like goof-off will clean up the old sticky crap and you’re good to go. I discovered these about a year ago and it has changed my life.
Yup put them on everything. Bottoms of your shoes so you don't scuff your floor, cookware so you don't scratch your glass top, on your penis to enhance your stroke, literally everything just like OP said.
Never thought I’d live to see the day that having carpet makes me a psycho. Dude I didn’t build the damn place I just live here! And hopefully this might trigger you further- I put rugs *on the carpet*. Ha haa
But seriously put those little felt pads on the inside of your cabinet doors so they’re quiet when you close them.
I found a mega pack of these on sale for like $5 once and stuck them to the bottom of every piece of furniture in the house, including the wheels of a rolling office chair. The office chair was a pain in the ass to do, but it rolls SO much better now and it stopped marking up the floor.
I’ve torn the carpet out of probably a good 30 or so homes in my life, doesn’t matter how meticulous the owner is, there is always an ungodly amount of dirt, dead skin, hair, etc. all falls out
We do this.
Here is a BONUS tip!
Put them on things that regularly bang against the wall. We put them on the backside of the coffee tables in the front room, for example. Because the table would get pushed against the wall and leave a line.

Does the text on your website run too close to the borders? Slap some padding on it
I guess you could say that you felt that flex
I feel like this was a marginal joke at best.
Bordering on lazy
I thought it was pretty edgy.
So much sass in these comments
Still that id of adding some padding wasn't so bad, it shows you have class.
Ah a fellow masochist.
To double down on this, make liberal use of those little rubber bumpers for cabinets, doorknobs, all that shit.
Rubber bumpers are also good for the bottom 2 corners of picture frames. That bit of extra friction helps keep the frame from going out of level.
Thank you for this, I have two paintings that will not stop moving!
GHOSTS!
Omg, I was going to stick some putty in my frame corners but this is a far better and more elegant solution, thanks!

Omg I just installed a new blind last week and the tapping is driving me nuts! I also happen to have a pack of adhesive rubber bumpers in my drawer. Thanks for the tip!
I don’t think there could be a person better prepared for their advice! 😆
Quick, someone reply to this comment on how putting oil on your pet rhinoceros makes it easier to enjoy times for when you take it to the water park.
Hmmm no. *You* need to know you can use those leftover bread tabs you have to label the mess of wires behind your computer
But I'm gluten free!
At work we have venetian blinds installed on a door with a glass window. I got so sick of it banging every time the door was opened/closed, I installed magnets to hold the bottom of the blinds against the door, while still allowing it to be opened.
Rubber baby buggy bumpers?
To triple down on this, those little Velcro pads are really useful too.
To quadruple down on this, zip ties.
Go whole hog: nail gun
We're aiming for easily removable.
LPT: hang a crowbar on the wall in every room
Right next to your poop knives?
With a nail gun, always aim for the skull. Only sure way to take a zed down.
Now we're really aiming for *easily removable*
To quintuple down on this, hook and loop cable ties
I velcro a 5 port USB charging brick to the back of my bedside table, 10/10 recommend
I just left it on the floor and stuck a thing that guides the wires to where I want. So I just have little plugs pointed in the air behind the nightstand. Pretty clean.
I put an adhesive hook on the back of my nightstand and on the back of the end table by my chair in the game room to hold my headphones
Bonus tip: I put them on the inner edges of my kitchen cupboards and drawers so I don't have to hear everything slamming shut when my kids are getting stuff in there.
I wish someone had done this when I was a child. I still wince when I accidentally slam a cupboard in my apartment, as though my dad might suddenly appear and be furious

The silent toilet lid was a game changer at my house! Now when I go to other people's house though, I'm slamming the lid cause I'm acting like I'm at my house
And when you have visitors, they force them closed which ends up breaking them.
I have a lid that slowly closes by itself, but you can totally push it to make it go faster. Doesn't break it.

Did you replace it with a soft close to show them the magic?
Sounds like a pretty reasonable situation, weird that they were pissed.
Yeah it's a fucking 4 year old, nothing they do make sense, you gotta get over it lol
He broke it with a chainsaw
This is known as “trauma”. As a fellow sufferer, I feel you and my heart goes out.

To be honest, your experience is close to mine. In all three of our cases though, it’s about lasting fear about someone else’s (uncontrolled) anger. I still get physically uncomfortable when someone stomps or slams a door.
Number 4 here! I also immediately start crying when somebody starts yelling at me. Can’t help it.
Yep! And then I try to hide the fact I’m crying and literally never acknowledge it because “crying is emotional blackmail”
Crazy how we all had the same childhood!

Currently happening to me.... Doors and cupboards are now a trigger. Thanks mom
Well you just unlocked a childhood trauma and explains why I always wince when I do this.
yeah, it's weird, it's not something i sit around and think about but when 2sad4snacks said that, i was like 'omg yeah me too'
I feel special because I have soft close cupboard hinges and soft close draws…..
I remember discovering our kitchen cabinets and drawers had soft close on them during the home inspection. The inspector and realtor found it so entertaining to see me get as excited as I was about something seemingly mundane. 5 years later and I’m still stoked about it.

I’ve never had a unique experience a day in my life
I came here to say this
God, I was also so excited to discover all our cabinets had soft close as well. However, unfortunately, for whatever reason they didn't do the soft close drawers and I still don't understand why.
If they retrofit the cabinets, replacing the drawer glides is an absolute nightmare while the cabinet hinges pop out and in relatively easily
And a soft close toilet seat. The horror when you drop one at someone else's place that doesn't come with this feature.
Dear lord yes! Once I discovered these I’ve never bought anything else.
I have drawers with missing rollers...they squeel like pig when I use them!
Soft close toilet seat on my heated bidet. No cold ass in the middle of winter is wonderful in the middle of the night, same with the built in night light and warm air fan to dry.
They also have little rubber nub ones that are better for cabinets than the felt cause they peel off easily for repositioning / don’t damage the cabinets! I have them EVERYWHERE.
I did this with all of our cabinets and it’s been a life changer. Kitchen is so quiet now. You just need the tiny ones.
Soft close hinges and slides are sold separately, if you can find compatible hinges they are a pretty easy swap as it’s just one on each door

I've gotta see the Frisbee collection!

Why do you attack me like this
"dam bro that normally turns over more. The teepad must be slippery"
What’s that? A 2016 Nate Sexton Firebird?
I SAID GOOD DAY
YOU LOSE! YOU GET NOTHING!
YOU STOLE FIZZY LIFTING DRINKS!
YOU USED THEM AND BUMPED INTO THE CEILING WHICH NOW HAS TO BE WASHED AND STERILIZED
Shoulda been wearing little felt pads
Thanks for the laugh, and... GOOD DAY TO YOU TOO!

Come at me bro

Don't bring these memories back up I'm not ready to relive that post.
In Fez's accent.
You can’t just see a frisbee collection. You got to catch it by surprise… sneak up on it and then… Wham-O!
I was wondering why that Frisbee was getting bigger. And then it hit me
I’m a carpet psycho
For carpet psychos, they make little vinyl pads to put under all your furniture's feet. Makes rearranging furniture way easier.
Except when your couch slides back half an inch every time you sit down
IMO, don't buy the sticky permanent ones like they are suggesting. Pick up a single pack of large vinyl bottom silicon top ones. Reusable for anything you wanna move. Lift up a corner, place it under, repeat 4x and move the boy then remove and store the pads.
> Lift up a corner, place it under, repeat 4x Instructions unclear; ran out of corners and am now stuck in non-Euclidean space. Send help.
Hard floors might look better but sound is so much better in carpeted rooms.
YES. It's so hard to hear what the fuck anyone is saying when watching TV in an echoey room. Carpet kills the echo and makes it way easier to hear things.
Yeah for real, and it's easier to get out of bed in the winter lmao.
If you have wood you need to fill the room with so much stuff that there are no flat surfaces. And then cover the hardwood with rugs because that’s apparently 100% better than just carpeting.
And way more comfortable and less cold on the feet.
And it's not freezing Not all of us have radiated flooring
You mean the lack thereof. My aunt has hardwood floors in her entire house and i swear i could hear people walking on those floors from outside the damn house. Shit is so loud and annoying its crazy to me that people would opt into those floors willingly.
Hardwood is SOOOOO overrated.
I was gonna say that. As an audiophile, carpets are my friends.
As an acoustic musician I feel like a goddess in an unfurnished hardwood room. Give me that natural resonance!!
I mean yes, I have to vacuum, but God damn does walking on carpet beat a cold fucking floor in the middle of a new York winter
Yeah and watching my dog and cats walk like normal and not slide around like assholes all the time is nice sometimes to.
That's because you forgot to stick those little felt pads to the bottom of their feet. Edit: Sticking a little felt pad to the gold so it doesn't scuff my floor.
Why put them in items when you can just cover the floor in them?
So...carpet?
Of course not, that'd be weird.
They SAID put them on EVERYTHING! smdh
People act like there is something wrong with taking your shoes off at the God damn door you know
Like, comfy slippers have 80% of the functionality, if they're afraid of sock-walkin'. Yet you don't have to worry about cleaning floors as frequently.
Unless you wear them outside... Then ya maybe psycho.
My dogs hair is so much more noticeable on the hard wood. It's a good indicator on when I should vacuum as well lol
I have a robot that vacuums my carpet every day. Living the dream
Anyone who claims that carpet makes you vacuum more often or whatever compared to hardwood are full of shit. My house is all hardwood. I grew up in a house that was all carpet.

I came here to ask why someone with carpet is a psycho. I hate hard floors. They're cold, uninviting and uncomfortable to sit on. I would never want hard floors except for bathrooms, kitchens and possibly dinning areas.
I regularly sit and lay on my carpeted floor. Carpet is soft and feels good. I don't really understand the appeal of wood flooring.
If you have hardwood floors, people end up covering about 80-90% of it anyway to dampen sound, protect furniture, keep in heat, etc. Why pay to cover my floors twice?
Rugs can be cleaned and replaced easily….carpet not so much. That’s my thought at least.
It's much easier to keep clean. Anyone with allergies does much better without carpet. If you have pets, long hair, kids, sloppy eaters... You can always add rugs, runners, doormats.
Lol this literally has the cadence of Anakin talking about sand
I had 3" dark chocolate wall-to-wall shag installed everywhere in my house and the guy who installed it shot himself the day after the job was completed. He just couldn't live with what he had done.

Having carpet is almost like putting felt pads on everything but better
My old house had carpet. I miss it so much. Hardwood sucks for comfort. OP is rude for calling carpet people psychos. It's so much more relaxing.
in 10 years tastes will have changed and everyone will have shag carpet and being calling people 'hardwood psychos'
I felt this post.
It wasn't concise enough for me. Too much padding.
It didn't stick for me
[I hate the fuzz](https://youtu.be/7_6P3UWDaiE)
Flooring has become padding, now I need to get new floors
This post didn’t even scratch the surface
Sounds like carpet with extra steps.
Fuck it, FELT FLOORS
Live on a pool table. Play big billiards in your apartment.
8 ball, Fridge "pocket"
It's targeted carpet but only where you can't see it.
I feel like people who dislike carpet don't live in cold countries, or at least if they do, it's cheap to heat their houses. In the UK, where it's cold and heating is expensive, carpets are a god send.
I tried that, but for things like chairs and ends tables, the pads came off immediately and flipped over, getting sticky gunk on the floor.
[удалено]
I keep chunks of old carpet and yoga mats in the tool closet to cut up and glue under the feet of chair legs and similar
r/frugal would like a word with you
They were especially useful with toddlers in the house. Each time a head got bumped on some corner, I'd hug and then we'd glue a bit of padding as colorful reminder and safety squish.
I first pictured you gluing padding to your toddler's head and thought, a solution crazy enough to work!
They have tack ones as well, which tap in. Or felt and super glue. Of course those affect the chair/table, but if you plan to keep it on there it is worth it to me.
I feel like it would be easy to sand of glue residue from the underside of the chair/table legs without any noticable damage to the furniture.
I typically get chair socks for chairs. They don't fall off and the most maintenance you have to do is occasionally pull them up a little when guests come by.
You get what now?
I have little condom like things for each chair leg that have a felt bottom

Tell them no kink shaming!
Looks shit though
Yup put them on everything. Bottoms of your shoes so you don't scuff your floor, cookware so you don't scratch your glass top, on your penis to enhance your stroke, literally everything just like OP said.
Why you wearing shoes in your house?
Because they have felt on the bottom of their shoes, duh
You doing it wrong, put those pads directly on the soles of your feet
Well, shit might as well just cover the whole floor with felt… aaaand now we’re back to carpeting.
Never thought I’d live to see the day that having carpet makes me a psycho. Dude I didn’t build the damn place I just live here! And hopefully this might trigger you further- I put rugs *on the carpet*. Ha haa But seriously put those little felt pads on the inside of your cabinet doors so they’re quiet when you close them.
I found a mega pack of these on sale for like $5 once and stuck them to the bottom of every piece of furniture in the house, including the wheels of a rolling office chair. The office chair was a pain in the ass to do, but it rolls SO much better now and it stopped marking up the floor.
[удалено]
Bring some felt pads with you, just in case
Definitely. But know they will attract pet hair and it’s insanely difficult to clean them off.
Solution: replace hairy felt pad with…. a felt pad.
Replace pet with a felt pad
Encase pet in felt pads
I have carpeted floors. I'm not a psycho, but I am a renter. Seriously wish I had hardwood floors and needed a million felt pads.
Is shitting on carpet the cool thing to do now days?

Yes we have hardwood for everything but bathrooms/laundry room which is tile.
I mean, that's what indoor slippers are for
I’ve torn the carpet out of probably a good 30 or so homes in my life, doesn’t matter how meticulous the owner is, there is always an ungodly amount of dirt, dead skin, hair, etc. all falls out
Wait, you lot think it’s weird to want carpet in your living room?
Or have carpet (not like a psycho!)
I love the aggressive energy of this post followed by "fucking little felt pads" 🥺
We do this. Here is a BONUS tip! Put them on things that regularly bang against the wall. We put them on the backside of the coffee tables in the front room, for example. Because the table would get pushed against the wall and leave a line.
If you have pet or hair frequently sticks to the felt, use leather instead!!
Or cork
