First-World Problems...

rug glue.jpg

You all know the problem. A small rug slides on the hardwood floor and people die! It's long past time that Congress regulates this issue, with registration, serial numbers, training and qualification mandates, minimum age before legal use, etc.

But in the meantime, regular Americans have to struggle with the sometimes existential problems associated with the deadly combination of highly polished and slick floors, and inadequate slide resistance on small rugs.

Hell, should we call them "Saturday Night Specials?"

[Addendum] For some reason an earlier version posted instead of the complete opus.

That strip of perforated material is sticky on both sides to hold the floor and the rug.

Of course it doesn't work for more than a few weeks, and every time one moves the rug to clean its stickiness is degraded. I even tried spraying some glue on it, which didn't work for more than a week!
