Carpeting where men stand to piss strikes me as a very bad idea.
It always has me, as well, but I still see it fairly frequently in American houses. I'm guessing it was a woman who ordered the carpeting. Not a mistake I will ever make. When I was having a house built, it had Berber carpet throughout, but I specified a tiled floor for the bathrooms and near the kitchen sink using material that was specifically designed not to be slippery when wet. I never understood why anyone would use anything else for that purpose. When looking at apartments in Asia, I avoid the ones that have particularly slippery tile in the bathrooms, and I keep a pair of slippers with sticky soles by the door. I seldom fall when drunk, but I stumble with distressing frequency when I am sleepy and the lights are off.
