The carpeting has come away from the back of one of my stairs and now it's loose on that stair...can I just "tack" it back into the crease?

Yes you can tack it back into the crack using a staple gun if you like.

If you don't want to see staples or nails, make a small hole in the carpet at regular intervals an inject a little bit of silicon in there and then put a weight on to hold it down until it dries!

Get yourself a knee pad, kick the carpet back into place, (restretch it) then, with a rubber mallet, pound it back into place. If that does not work, then you need a new tack board for that side.
Hope this helps you.

I'm a guy, and privately, I don't like long nails. We know a lot of like very long, painted nails cause they're "so pretty", but I don't like them.

A little bit of nail is fine... but I agree along with you. Long nails are kinda gross.

you can buy carpet tacks, but will hit your thumb a lot! try to barrow a staple gun and tack it down with that. good luck.

Yes. Least expensive way to deal with it.

No, no, before you fix it play some kind of practical joke on your friends.
