Whenever you haul something long, something that sticks out beyond the back bumper of your vehicle, it is both common courtesy and in the best interests of safety to somehow flag the item so that those behind you don't come too close.
Most people use a plastic flag, or some other brightly colored fabric to mark the jutting cargo so it does not wind up embedded in someone's windshield.
But sometimes, as is evidenced by this photo sent to me by a DGMS reader, a person just has to improvise in order to get that roll of carpet home...




Is Britney Spears getting new carpeting?

From what I recall from those pictures, she has "waxed floors".

Waxed floors only stay nice if they are "kept up."
