As a child, I'd heard of the idea of "wall to wall carpets", and was quite convinced that some houses had carpets going down one wall, along the floor, and up the next wall. When I was in college, one of the lecture halls had exactly this and I realised that part of my brain still had this misconception. Luckily, I managed not to make a fool out of myself on my first day.
