We have a very old white, shaggy rug in our dining room.
I hate it. It's stained and just generally looks untidy.
I brought it up with my wife about a year ago and she said she wanted to keep it.
Fine.
Last month, I "accidentally" sacrificed a full tin of Coca Cola over it and rendered it irredeemable.
So it got chucked out.
Now I'm happy and, to be honest, the wife didn't even care that it was gone.
