Exactly! That’s why they started putting plastic covers on the furniture.

Those plastic couch covers were in the 50's and 60's with so many kids being born they'd ruin the furniture. We had chairs wrapped, even our big ass lamp shades were professionally wrapped. Hey maybe the parents were the ones ruining the furniture first having sex on the bare couch and staining it.

u/Snowmann88 15d ago

They could just be Asian.

My dad used to do this.
