Remember the brown doors? It gets worse.
Yes, ugly carpet in the hallways.
You guys…I can’t. This is just…ugh. Can you say, “Courtyard by Marriott”?
We had tile. TILE. It was fine. People threw up on it, it got wiped up. People spilled their trash? It got wiped up. The fucking annoying yappy dog down the hall pisses on it? It got wiped up.
I want to maim the person who picked this shit out.
This is not an upgrade. Just like the brown doors and molding were not an upgrade.
Downgrade.
Fail.
Worst decision ever.
I might organize the old bittys in a million bitty march on the management company to protest this heinous shit.
Ah we’re having the same problem! We got a notice that we could come downstairs and vote for one of the three carpet samples they were considering. Well we get down there and apparently the elevator turned into a time machine when I wasn’t looking because they were all gross and from the 70s. And definitely not like a cute vintage 70s. We had tile too. It worked. They should stick with it :S
I have to say I am a commercial property manager as my paying job & that shit would never be in one my buildings – what the hell were they thinking!
you better rip that shit up it is going to STANK to high heaven. Not to mention it looks like it has tire tracks on it. Barf.
so since i am in construction. i can speak to this.
THAT IS UGLY.
and you are right. function over fashion/appeal.
but i will tell you why they did that:
cost.
tile: $10/SF[squarefoot]
carpet: $5/SF and that is nice carpet. so you are proably at $3/SF
aka. they is cheap.
I fondly remember that sign. What a terrible, terrible choice. Damn those assholes.
Oh dear god… I feel for you Christin. This is terrible.
I would–get militant 😉
I’m not very hip when it comes to carpeting, but even I know this is hideous!
I feel your pain. Carpets suck. I always wonder what’s growing inside them.
Carpet in apartment hallways is the worst! Eventually it will start to smell like everything that’s been mashed into it. Puke-a-rama!
This made me laugh like crazy! While the carpet isn’t the worst it could be, it seems like tile is a better option!!:) Keep makin jokes…you’ll have to as the carpet gets older and starts reeking!
