Cool: my vacuum cleaner has a "shag" setting. Now if only I had shag carpet....
Not: There's an express elevator at work with it's own call button that's meant to be used when you're in a hurry, but lots of people press its button along with the regular button (that summons one of the other 5 elevators) and just take whichever elevator comes first. Of course, this completely defeats the purpose of the express elevator, since it spends most of its time going between floors for no reason. It's tragic.
When I moved back home after college I decided not to take up residence in the frilly pink and white bedroom of my childhood and instead moved into my brother's old room. His room has BROWN shag carpeting. It's amazing.
Another NOT cool elevator thing:
At my work there is a bank of 4 elevators controlled by a call button. However, if there is already an elevator there, the call button will neither stay lit when pressed, nor cause the elevator doors to open.
So if an elevator fills up and it's doors aren't closed yet, you cannot push the call button to call another elevator (it won't stay lit).
Also, if you arrive at the bank and an empty elevator is closing it's doors for lack of use, you cannot push the call button to make it re-open it's doors for you.
I believe one or the other should happen when you hit that call button! What's the use? Obviously, it should be the first option, "stay lit", instead of the second option.

I want some thick shag carpet, but it's so expensive -- but so luxurious!
As for elevators, they're an amazing invention that created a whole new set of social mores to negotiate. Fascinating.
I have read more than one horror story regarding the consequences of shagging a vacuum cleaner. Avoid that setting.
Hahaha, ouch.
