I'm going to kill myself on it one of these days.
It's sitting on a wooden floor.
It's 1054pm, I've had a few beers and curry.
I'm awake. Never been so awake.
Double sided sticky tape.
^^ probably can't sleep due to the excitement of the topic.....
I got one of those hammer and nail sets from Wilco last year and it broke, so I’m returning it next week.
Get a bigger rug to sit over it. The weight will keep the other one down.
Get rid of rug/wife, whichever is the root cause of the problem
Op, are you sure we're not discussing a syrup here?
I mean, it's ok. You're amongst friends here.
You don't need to hide behind the facade of floor coverings. Many of us have thought about it.
The thing is though, the approach is a little different to what one might recommend for floor-based curlage.
Put a plant pot on each corner. You're less likely to trip over them if they have quite a tall plant in.
A bit of opposite rolling usually helps in such situations
then put thick sticky tape on theunderside
Stretch rug out and put dumbbells on the corners. Then walk around in steel toe cap shoes and/or have a swear box. 😉
There's an Internet hack for this.
Get an object that is small but heavy enough to keep the rug flat, like a pint glass and place it on the corner of the rug that is curling. Then place a few ice cubes around the object and wait for the ice cubes to melt. Once the ice cubes have melted your rug should lay flat.
Let us know how you get on.
Hang it like a tapestry, then buy a round rug to replace
We've got a dangerous slippery wooden floor with a large rug. It sits on a piece of non-slip netting sticky type stuff, but this non-slip netting stuff has to be the same size as the rug.
Or, is it possible to turn the rug over and iron the corners back down (don't do this if it's a really expensive silk woven type rug).

Pissing on it will have the same effect. Cat piss will speed up the process.
Buy a round one?
