Whatever happened to learned behaviour
« on: October 04, 2009, 02:01:22 PM »
As you may be aware I have taken the carpet up in my bedroom but have left the underlay and the grippers etc for the carpet fitters on Thursday ( as this costs an additional bomb  evil: ) ....so every time I am going in and out of my bedroom all I have to do is remember not to step on the gripper by the threshold.

That's all

A fairly simple request to my brain

My foot now looks like a feckin colander  Banghead

Nearly every time I step on the blasted thing and then go hopping around the room cursing.

Before some smart alec says why don't you cover that bit up I tried that and tripped over the cut off bit of carpet.

I thought if you made the same mistake over and over again you learn from this and don't repeat  whistle:

I am off to put some Polyfilla in my feet  cry:

Did you not carry out a risk assessment before starting this job ?
Are you not wearing appropriate PSE ?

I like bare feet when slobbing at home at home  redface:

As for a risk assessment - I know the risk - I just thought I could teach my brain to avoid it  doh:
