My grandparents not only had plastic on the furniture but also on the lampshades. Never understood it as no one was allowed in the living room anyway, because of the white carpet!

In retrospect I believe the white carpeting was to protect the finished wood floors no one knew were under there until they were long gone.

My G-Pa's pet peeve was people with their hands in their pockets as it made it impossible to work and if you're working you're not spending. He actually looked forward to visiting his lake house not to fish or boat, but to do the lawn and cut wood. Might have been some mental issues going on?

Nah...I just like to take good care of things when get them. I get it honestly. Mom and Dad are both that way.

Blocks on the pedals would be short man syndrome.
