Carpet backlash

When we decided to move the large TV in our rec room to another spot, I figured I could run the antenna wire through the basement and up through the floor directly beneath the set. I carefully measured from each end of the wall and then drilled up through the flooring. But I couldn’t pull out the drill bit. Imagine my horror when I discovered that the drill bit had snagged one of the carpet threads and pulled it the entire length of the room, leaving a gap right down the middle. That was a tough one to live down.
