Re: Do Americans really not take off their shoes in the house?

[diet_poison]

You don't leave your shoes on in the house if they're covered with dirt/mud. Oftentimes though they are clean.

I can't tell if this is an actual incredulous "wait, really?" post or just another "lol muricans are stoopid" post.

Re: Do Americans really not take off their shoes in the house?

[(Anonymous)]

Not the OP, but for me this is a "wait, really?" topic as I just find it baffling.

Re: Do Americans really not take off their shoes in the house?

[(Anonymous)]

Pretty sure it's the latter, from some of the replies.

Re: Do Americans really not take off their shoes in the house?

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, I'm OP and I'm pretty much just confused + slightly grossed out. I don't hate Americans or anything, lol.

Re: Do Americans really not take off their shoes in the house?

This. I take mine off if they're muddy or otherwise gross, but if I've just been out walking on sidewalks, I just wipe them off on the doormat. That's what it's there for.

Re: Do Americans really not take off their shoes in the house?

It's definitely the latter. We have states bigger than some whole countries in Europe, but a lot of Europeans seem to have trouble grasping the amount and diversity of regions, climates and cultures within our borders.

Re: Do Americans really not take off their shoes in the house?

OP is Canadian, not European.

Re: Do Americans really not take off their shoes in the house?

[diet_poison]

This is true, even if it doesn't apply to OP.

Many times the answer to the question "Do Americans ____" is "Which state?".

Every friend of mine who has visited the US has been asked bloody stupid questions.

'Oh my god, do you have running water?'
'Where's your butler?'
'Do you like in a palace?'
'Do you live in a mud hut?'
'What language do they speak in England?'

That kind of world ignorance and the constant news footage about shootings in America kind of gives us a skewed view of the States.

Re: Do Americans really not take off their shoes in the house?

Now I wonder if this is a universal experience. And if your friends were really asked that by a lot of people (and not just repeating the one or two times they were asked because it makes good stories).

Sadly a lot of people in the US are very privileged and unaware of it, and on top of that our education system needs a loooot of work. But it's kind of shitty to judge a country of 300+ million people based on the ignorance of some of its members even if it's fairly visible.
