Like some Baby Barbarella with the stars as her umbrella

Why are drapery rods so vexing? They hold up curtains not the magnetic pull of earth. But yet they can reduce otherwise sane, rational, and serene people to fits of madness over whether they are straight or not. Whether they are placed at the appropriate level for the drapes to hang "just so" ..... languishing upon the floor in an chic puddle or grazing the sill of a window. It really shouldn't be the focus of a entire Sunday.
