Title: This has to be a disorder.
Post by: tp4tissue on Thu, 11 February 2021, 17:05:49

Noticed the piano and throw rug were not parallel with the wood floor.

Lined up the rug, moved the piano in and out 5mm a few times.

Finally realizing that the RUG itself is not cut completely square.


Now Tp4 is genuinely upset.  Don't want to be, and realize it's not a big deal, but GDI want to killz the rug guy who did this.

Y'all get this sometimes ?

Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. No matter how slight.

Sounds like it's time for TP4 to take up machining :)

The number of imperfections in the world is staggering, especially if you yourself are perfect.

My recommendation is to just let it go. "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good."

TP4, better not check any of the corners in your house. I don't think I have found any "square" corners in my place yet. :)

Sounds like it's time for TP4 to take up machining rug weaving :)

Sounds OCDish?

I suggest putting it at 30* to the wood and try to forget about it, not that you will.
