I’m fairly confident I would trip over that pattern.  Repeatedly.

My best friend is a pilot at SWA. We send each other photos of the flooring in various airports as a guess where I am game.

I’m guessing it’s a trade show or convention, and you’re “blessed” with being a presenter? I hated having to do the auto show (when I was with Alpine) or CES (with Sony) because it was 7-12 hours of being on my feet constantly.

nothing better, though, than kicking the shoes off and taking a few steps on a nice, thick pile carpet or rug.

Yeah, my lessons from trade shows:

It would have been nice if the company had paid extra for the extra floor cushioning in the booth.

A tall table with bar stool height chairs is good

Keep some hand sanitizer around (no fun flying back from Germany with a cold)

It’s ok to ignore that crazy homeless guy who is talking to you.

That pattern is probably less likely to conceal snipers than this one:

Marriott Marquis, Atlanta. One of the host hotels for DragonCon. They changed the carpet maybe six cons ago after  it had been a running gag for years how gaudy it was , so now people wear cosplay outfits to refer to the old days, and even have vinyl wrapped cars in the DragonCon parade. “The Cult of the Carpet”.

That seems more fun than PDX carpet, though.

There might be a casino somewhere that has carpet like that.

I feel like hotels and convention centers attempt to find the worst patterned/ugliest colored/hardest carpet imaginable.

Sales - Yeah, we used this carpet to split logs and several blind testers threw up.

Client - I’ll take 5,000 square feet.

Some of the dirtiest carpet in the world. I also heard that the bins at airport security have more bacteria than just about anything on the planet.

Probably because it hides stains/doesn’t show dirt. You gotta know those carpets are filthy.

RIP old Portland Airport carpet. Gone but not forgotten.

It does kind of resemble the camo patterns auto manufacturers use.
