It was definitely a 70s-80s thing. They hated hardwood or tile floors. It was either carpet or shitty linoleum. I rewatched Poltergeist the other day and the whole bathroom is pink carpet. Just a mold nightmare.
I learned recently that the bathroom in my early childhood home wasn't carpeted when we moved in; rather, MY DAD had it carpeted in the early 90s! When I asked my mom wtf he did that for, she said he wanted his feet to be warm when using the bathroom 🤢 why he couldn't just wear slippers idfk
