The universe is full of stuff. And some stuff is certainly more useful and more necessary than others. There are things that we need and have, then there’s stuff that we know we need, but don’t have, and then there’s stuff we know we don’t need.

But wait, there’s more. There’s also a fourth category—the stuff we are certain nobody on this planet really needs but for some reason exists. This is what Twitter has been discussing in a recent viral trend under the hashtag #StuffThatShouldNotExist.

Recently people started naming things that should not exist, but for some unknown reason are a thing. Besides all those taking a jab at Twitter’s image centering AI and everything that is wrong with the world, they have also shared pictures of things like carpets in bathrooms, Nicholas cage sequin pillows, and everything else that is either creepy, ugly or just plain useless.

Bored Panda has compiled a list of some of the best entries in this new challenge, which you can peruse below. And while you’re doing that, why not also leave an upvote and comment under the ones you enjoyed the most!

Both houses we bought had carpet in the master bathroom! It's disgusting. They are both gone now!

Is anyone else loving the fact that people think that carpet bathrooms are worse than COVID-19? Humans are so entertaining.

Ugh. I never understood how you're supposed to clean those things properly.

Unfortunately I lived in a place like this. There was even a carpeted toilet seat. I wish I was joking.

Carpet is gross in kitchens and bathrooms. Marble, especially polished marble in dangerous in kitchens and bathrooms.

Our half bath came with carpeting. Needless to say, we're planning on remodeling.

I worked with a lady who had carpet on her bathroom floor. I never went to visit her house, but she told me the carpet was white. That seems worrying. I don't see her anymore, but can't help wondering if that carpet stayed white.

I just don't understand why this is a thing? Do people like soggy carpets after the toilet explodes from their monster poops that clog the drains?

I remember visiting an elderly friend's house and having to visit her bathroom and I was stunned by the carpet on the bathroom floor. All I could think of was how much mold was probably growing on it and why ANYone thought putting carpet in a room that stays damp for long periods of time was a good idea!

When I worked at a big box home improvement retail store, the only people that I sold carpet in the bathroom to were elderly people.

My Mother had carpet tiles in her kitchen. If anything got spilt, you could take up the tile and rinse it under the tap, or even replace if necessary.

I remember when I lived in a trailer they had carpet in the bathroom. I remember we had a leak and I was getting out and I stepped in the wet carpet... I hated that trailer that was only one of the problems with that hell hole.

The house I bought last year had partial carpeting in the upstairs bedroom. My boys would take a bath, splash so much they'd soak the carpet and it would spread to the stairs. Yuck! We just replaced it with waterproof laminate flooring. Worse though - my dad's house not only had brown shag carpeting in both bathrooms - the kitchen had the same shag carpeting. My feet are cringing from the memories right now.

Honestly I don't think this is so bad. I don't like stepping on the cold bathroom floor. The only bad thing would be when you get out of the shower.

I don't step on the 'cold bathroom floor', I step on the bath-mat, or a towel. Is that strange?

I had a carpeted bathroom for years - it was that way when I moved in and wouldn’t have been my choice, but it was totally fine. It didn’t get particularly dirty and didn’t smell and it was quite pleasant to step on after a shower.

The only thing worse than a carpeted bathroom is a carpet toilet seat cover.

No, No and triple NO! When I bought my home I loved everything about it except the bathroom had this bird s**t green carpeting. I tore it up and replaced it with Treadmaster tile slats. Who carpets a bathroom?

Imperial Palace in Vegas had carpet in the bathrooms years ago. I used most of the towels to make a path to walk on.

I think these are cool. Creepy toys aren't a bad thing, people. They aren't meant for little kids who'd be scared by them. Also, way less scary than some dolls...Like the clown from Poltergeist, lol.

I bought my dad a pen holder many moons ago which was a man bent over with his pants down. You put the pen in its butt and the man lifts his head and moans in many different ways.
