Every house has that one thing sitting on the floor just waiting to take somebody out.  I don't care how careful you are, there's always something in the way that you somehow trip over almost every single day.  After talking with people around Rockford, it turns out we all have the same problem.

I'm convinced coffee tables are personally out to get people too.  How many times can someone hit their shin on the exact same corner before learning their lesson?  Apparently, the answer is a lot.

Kids' toys are another huge one.  Parents in Rockford probably deserve some kind of award for navigating Legi-covered floors in the dark without completely wiping out.  And don't even get me started on laundry piles.  I feel like everyone has that "clean clothes chair" in their bedroom that slowly turns into a mountain you have to walk around.

The funny part is that most of these things never actually get moved.  We trip over them constantly, complain about them, and somehow they stay right where they are.  It's basically part of living in a busy household at this point.
