perfect tassel alignment
I have a rug in my bedroom which has long tassels on either end of it. These tassels have to be perfectly aligned and spaced apart from each other for me to be truly comfortable in the room. I even have a picture of my perfectly arranged rug on my phone that I glance at every now and again for its calming effects. My cat however, seems to live solely for the joy of waiting until I am not paying attention to leap onto the rug, claws deployed, and wrap himself in it. I have spent hours meticulously placing each tassel in its appropriate place, only to discover it bundled up with a cat underneath minutes later. I seek my revenge by exploiting some of his own neuroses, but those are for another post…

I recommend getting a new rug, sans tassels. Keep the cat, though; you can never have too many cats (that’s my neurosis).
I saw somewhere that Mark Summers (the guy from Family Double Dare) has this exact same neurosis (plus more!).
I’m with you on that one. It started with a tasseled rug my parents had when I was a kid. Solution: run a vacuum over the rug, starting on the rug, then go over the tassels in an away-from-the-rug motion. Straightens 90% of the tassels right away. Saves a ton of time.
Get a new rug baby! Life is so much more than aligning tassels. Love ya!
