This is a labrador thing? My friend’s labrador has almost died twice (although this dog is nowhere near smart enough to open cupboards on his own): once after his girlfriend forgot to lock the dog’s food cupboard, and the second time when the cat unlocked the cupboard and was found watching the dog’s bloated, heaving…
Well you acknowledge that it is there, so I’m not sure why you are arguing against the point. And the amount would be on a case-by case basis*. Also, it is not unusual that someone might have something on the sole of their shoe that they are not aware of.
The issue is that particulate matter is carried indoors on shoes. That is why we have doormats - and even when using them, they don’t necessarily remove all of the particulate matter that will otherwise end up being tracked around the floor / carpet, making it dirtier than indoor-only slippers or socks. Also, when you…
do you use your t-shirt to step on every step of the pavement while you’re outside? if you do, i have no idea how to talk to you.
I always wondered how americans are used to walk inside (especially on caret flooring) with shoes and all, like it is a normal thing. Where does all the dirt and outside crap go? How can they not find it disgusting that they step barefoot on stuff that they have dragged in their house with their shoes? How is that…
In Canada, the norm is to take off your shoes. At least, in Southwestern Ontario it is. For a long time, I thought it was unrealistic that people on sitcoms are always walking around their houses with their shoes on - until I noticed that when my American cousins came to visit they did the same thing. :)
Do you honestly believe that a doormat is going to remove everything from the bottom of your shoes?
That is just ridiculous, of course people clean their houses but walking indoors with shoes after you’ve been out walking in dirty streets is just stupid.
The very first thing I do when I return to my own home is remove my shoes and socks, if visiting then just my shoes. Why anyone would wear shoes inside a house is beyond me
Like I know people in the US wear shoes indoors... but in Canada and Germany they don’t. I’m sure someone has made a map of which countries do and don’t wear shoes inside.
Something I am absolutely revolted, and distracted by, that they do on TV shows is put those shoe-clad feet on bedspreads and couches. Why? Who does that? You were just walking outside with those shoes, why are they now on your bedspread or couch? Are you an animal?
You know, I always assumed that people on TV had their shoes on because they were not actually in a house, but on a set. am I wrong? do people around the work really keep their shoes on in their house? with the dirt and dust and filth? whyyyyyyyyyyy????????
Not just nice floors, carpet is even worse. I have no idea why people wear shoes on carpet.
1. Taking off your shoes indoors is not ridiculous. It’s like washing your hands after going to the toilet. If I ever see you leave the toilet without washing your hands, I certainly wouldn’t want to shake your hands, rude or not.
I agree, we don’t allow shoes in the house in Turkey too. It’s much easier to keep the house clean that way.
Forget tatami, walking inside at all with shoes on is disgusting. I don’t want all that crap outside tracked all over my nice floors.
Yes! This is what I’ve always thought. It’s easy to say “you shouldn’t have an abortion” when it’s not your body on the line.
What they don’t mention is that the “foreign” girl ended up in that orphanage because her parents couldn’t afford another mouth to feed because they have no access to contraceptives, sex ed and family planning, or legal abortions. Or her parents died because religious nuts convinced them to fuck without condoms. Or…
Never more have I wished for a science fiction laser I could zap and just transfer unwanted pregnancies to these people. We could call it lateral-pregbortion. It’s only a 9 month inconvenience, I’m sure they’re 100% willing to put up with the sudden imposition if it means saving a fetus. Then they can put it up for…
