As an American, it drives me crazy. Then there’s those heathens who lay on the bed with shoes on!

American of asian descent, absolutely ludicrous! It would perhaps be more forgiviable if all of the floors were furnished in hardwood and tile, but they'll wear shoes even on carpet! Immediately after entering one of these heathen's houses, I long for the soft, lucious, kempt, carpets of my own abode, compared to the repuslive, stiff, flat and even crunchy carpets of my white friends. Frankly it offends me, deeply. I must slap my friends silly before entering my home to remove their filthy clogs.

That was a joy to read.

I'm sorry to tell you I am one of those people, as is my family. Every so often I have a moment of clarity about it, but it doesn't last long.

Your existence is nauseating

I wear my street shoes inside except winter. Both my work boots come off regardless. Also have house slippers. But I'll be damned if me or someone put their shoes on a bed, or even a couch for that matter.

No one asked, but now I need to know: when would you only take ONE work boot off?

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

I have two sets, one summer and one winter. Though not sure why put it that way lol
