Start using swiffer wipes and the next thing you know you'll only be able to use padded toilet seats. From there, you trade in your barbecue for a George Foreman Grill, your straight-blade razor for a Norelco, your wifebeater for a satin undergarment, that comforter you had in college for a down comforter with duvet, your poker night for a pedicure party, your toilet paper for a bidet.

And to think, it all started with a little rag that attracts dust.
