[@jZamora87]

Carpet is gross, tile or wood.

[@ScenicCitysRealtor]

Hardwood floors, not carpet

[@hd-xc2lz]

Best friend? First of all, best use of wall to wall is commercial, either in apt. rental or office space. When trying to sell one's home it's best to pull up wall to wall if the floor below is in passable condition. And second, who trusts that any carpet guy is ever giving the best price?? Always get multiple estimates.

[@barbarossa1780]

He’ll learn to value good produce, as well

[@misstinwhistle1]

i'm thinking about that right now

[@jonasschwalb2787]

I would have liked it if the pilot turned out to be tormented by a constant craving for approval and the carpet guy turned out to be a well rounded person who enjoys his life as it is.

It sucks that you're sometimes restricted to a few particular career choices and then when you realize you really want to do something else its a couple of years too late and your entire life you have to deal with consequences from a choice that you were brainwashed into making at 15

[@nailsnailsgoodinbed]

@@premeplug6550 I absolutely agree but I think it also sucks how people think less of you based on your job too. Even if carpet guy was totally happy with his job, pilot guy would still show him up because people think his job is 'better'.

Indon't know how unique I am in this, but I was incredibly sensitive as a child. I probably would have gone up to see the book of carpet samples just coz i felt bad for the guy. Of course, i'd regret it as soon as everyone else went to see the plane, but i'd stick with the carpet guy nonetheless

[@ernest747]

+Millie Me yeah right

[@Widdekuu91]

I'd probably not understand shit about the planes and not care about the president, but I'd want to genuienly feel the carpet, because that's something I could relate to, because 2 of our bedrooms hád carpet. And none of our bedrooms ór kitchens had a plane ór a president.

For real tho.Thats Jeff Gordon.He drove in the same races with Earnhardt Sr.

[@navtektv]

As an amateur joiner I'm more interested in the Carpet guy as well seeing as the guy actually helps in building a home while the plane helps blow homes up. I'm not a pacifist or anything but as I'm constantly fascinated by furniture making, I'm sure I would be equally fascinated by the way carpet is made, sewn, installed and removed. Skills like carpetting and joinery have so much history and speaks of thousands of years of innovation. And while I'm sure a pilots job is tough and grueling, but he's only noticed when flying the sky, while if you look closely, a carpet mans handiwork is noticeable in every room you enter.

[@nathanielmatthews7575]

I am a Marine. Active from 2006-2011. Served in Afghanistan. Now I support my family as a production manager at a manufacturing facility. Both professions are needed. Both are honorable. Carpet man provides for his family, is there for them, shows up to his son's school. What a hero.

Many people saying that the reversal would be funny... kids loving the carpets salesman and being bored by the pilot. It could be done if the pilot would be shown as a total introvert who just wants to forget haunting memories and tormented by PTSD. "What was the coolest trick?" "Coming home and pretending I still have a soul" And the carpet seller could be extravertic and using metaphores. How selling a carpet is almost like a magic trick because you have to know to to manipulate people. And talk about reading body language, negotiation techniques. And of course he could go "You kids like McDonalds? I sold the carpet to them"
