Notes:

Important: I'm really sorry about this, but I accidentally misclicked and deleted the submission post from last week instead of saving it. Managed to save the first page (25) of secrets, but the rest (about 100 or so) are gone.

If you submitted something last week (Aug 26-Sept 1), please resubmit it here.

The submissions post for next week is below as usual.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

1. It's sort of a politeness thing, in the US, at least. To walk in and just take off your shoes seems presumptuous, like, "Oh, let me just make myself at home and throw my stuff around." It's considered courteous to wait for a cue from the host or to ask. Also, tracking dirt in from your shoes isn't a big deal because usually the entranceway/first floor is either tile or wood and easily cleaned.

2. Because we love parties! Actually, I have no idea. Something about the ending of high school, achieving maturity, wanting to throw a big dance/get dressed up/rent a fancy car for something other than your own wedding - I also think TV shows and movies about high school really amped up the importance of prom until reality began to reflect the media portrayals.

3. I think it's to differentiate between adults and children and build an atmosphere of respect.

4. because I won't buy a book unless I like the cover Why?
