Grandma gets cold easily, so she usually wears some kind of jacket. Yesterday's jacket was a very pretty red mohair with leaves and vines embroidered all over it in gray. (Not quite like the picture I've included here, but this will give you the basic idea.) She kept taking it off to try to rub the "stains" off it. She was just sure that the embroidery was water spots - that the manufacturer had damaged the fabric.
I told her repeatedly that it was a decorative stitching that was supposed to be there to make it look pretty. Didn't work. She just kept rubbing. Once I finally convinced her to leave her jacket on to keep her warm, she still kept rubbing at the sleeves.
