Hardwood Floor 

A common mistake among homeowners. These types of floors look pretty, but that's their only benefit. They're freezing cold in the winter, impossible to keep clean, and develop squeaks. They also reflect sound whereas carpet absorbs sound. Carpet is also warmer in the winter, and more comfortable.
Damn these hardwood floors; I spent 20 minutes on them with a dust mop, and I still see dust bunnies, not to mention stains, and there's new squeaky spots. Next house I get will be all carpet.

Working from home 

Working from home sounds ideal, and there are some benefits; your commute is very short, you can sleep in later, you can work in casual clothes, or maybe even your birthday suit. But the downside is, you will be stuck in the house more, your social interaction with other people is reduced by a lot. Also, if your job is stressful or involves conflict, that will now be in your home. Makes it harder to separate home life from work life.
"I really love working from home; I have no commute.. but I'm starting to feel like a shut-in."

Seattle Seahawks 

Professional American football team based in the Pacific Northwest corner of the United States. Everyone rips on them, but they've been to three Super Bowls in nine years. Robbed in XL, won XLVIII, and lost XLIX. (barely.) They currently have arguably the coolest blue uniforms in the league. Their stadium is a nightmare for visiting teams, because the Seahawks usually win at home, and also because of the constant rain and deafening crowd noise.
Hawks fan #1: "Why didn't the Seattle Seahawks run the damn ball on the one yard line?!?!?"
Hawks fan #2: "It happened. Let it go. At least they weren't robbed by the refs again."
Hawks fan #1: "Yeah... you're right. And having one Lombardi Trophy is a heck of a lot better than none."
