madtuna - your story reminds me of something similar, my mate at school had anal parents who made him drop to his knees and crawl across the carpet to avoid wear!! I couldn't believe it when he did it...classic.
Also remember carpet offcuts around the sofas where one's feet would go for the same reasons!!!

I've seen worse. How about every bit of plush furniture in the house covered in thick plastic sheet, so it doesn't get dirty or wear out. Also, every traffic area of the carpet has a thick plastic walkway laid over it (you know the crap with the little studs to stop it slipping around. And everyone in the house wore clean socks only.
But the best bit was the car. HQ Holden station wagon, still had the original plastic on the seats and doors in 1999! Bloke who owned all the above never used to push the indicator stork all the way over the detent. He used to hold it up or down enough so the indicators worked, but not enough to go over center! I asked him why he did that, and he said he did it so it wouldn't wear the switch out! He was also the guy who used to tyre black THE TREAD of his tyres.
Obsessive Compulsives live in hell as far as I can see.
