#934 That one room in everyone's house that's off limits

A rare peak into an off-limits
room.
Thinking about throw pillows leads one to think about all of the unnecessary things in a house. Of all of these unnecessary things, the biggest one has got to be "that room."

Most houses have a room that is apparently more special than the others. It's usually where out of the ordinary events are held, like Thanksgiving dinner or fancy brunches. Occasions like these are the only times you're allowed to set foot in that room. There are too many fancy trinkets, fragile ornaments, frilly throw pillows and over-the-top decorations in this room to be able to utilize it for any practical purpose. You've got to be careful before stepping foot into that room (which probably has carpet that your feet are not worthy of) or you'll get a (stupid and unnecessary) yelling that you won't (take seriously and that you'll) soon forget. That room isn't for being inside of, you idiot. It's for looking at and admiring from afar. Enjoy using it less than 3 times out of the 365 days of the year.

It's just slightly annoying.

I'm sure throw pillows and off-limits rooms aren't the only slightly annoying things to be found in our homes. Let us know what you think by posting here, tweeting here, or commenting on this post.
