Slip and fall danger.

I know 2 people that both had an accident this way. One tore of a tendon around the knee, the other fractured their hand from trying to cushion their fall. And I don’t know that many people.

Yeah, people don't realize you can add non-slip materials to the bottom to minimize the risk.

Extremely common trip and fall hazard, frequently in the homes of old people with bad balance and fragile bones

Agree on the rugs but motorcycles are more of a “I hate people” thing. I’m an EMT that dailies a bike and tons of my coworkers ride too

Also, actual butt plugs. Yes, they can and they will slip inside to the point you can’t get them out.

Flair: the 32 pins and badges at TGIFriendly’s
Flare: a widening at the base
