oh no i'm not falling for that one again, if you want me to change into a cute maid outfit before sitting on the couch you're going to have to ask nicely
I'm actually glad my parents never really cared about this stuff although I do personally only rarely wear shoes indoors. Like if I'm doing work and in/out. And outdoor clothes I can only assume means like you were doing hard, sweat-causing labor or otherwise dirty labor. Not like driving to the store and coming home to change into pajamas before you sit on the couch (lol). Like yeah if I go for a jog of course I'm going to get a shower before I sit on my furniture or bed. But otherwise...
But as a child of Yakub I am accustomed to living in my own filth
The metric I use for the couch/cushions is like this:
If I took off the clothes on my body right now, would I put them into the hamper or are they still clean enough to wear again? If they’d go in the hamper, I’m not sitting on the couch with them.
The metric I use for the bed is much more strict:
Unless they are clothes I just took out of the drawers/closet, they don’t go in/on the bed.
Weird to just be assuming that people are white lmao
but anyway if im alone on that one, maybe I shouldn’t be. So be honest, when was the last time you washed your couch cushions and pillow cases? Grimy mf 💀
thinking back to the person who I know who (consensually) sprays guests' backs with alcohol before they're allowed to sit on any soft furnishings in their home
I'm confused. The one in red is the teacher, and the one in blue, the student, has only her head and forearms exposed and isn't particularly chesty or curvy.
This scene isn't really a good example of that, Yukari-sensei is the teacher here. However some parts of the show are definitely weird that way, nowhere to the point of other shows fortunately.
Not that I live in the S'Shah anyways, but whenever I've been there, I've always taken off my shoes just by the door, as does anyone else, and this goes for Norway as well. Putting them in a closet rather than under the coats and jackets and stuff sounds strange to me.
What really gets me about Seppo houses is the doorknobs, though. And also the beds. And the asbestos.
There's a woman in my city who's made wearing shoes indoors her whole identity (she even changed her Twitter username about it). Such a weird concept to me...
I don't wear shoes in the house but I don't think there's much validity around cleanliness
uhhhh
you definitely track in dirt and dust and whatever's on the ground outside (snow, broken glass, dog shit, road salt,), if you wear the same shoes outside and in.
It doesn't necessarily make the person dirtier but it definitely makes the house dirtier IMO. Not by like, a ton, if you clean regularly its probably fine esp if you don't have carpet, but I still am not a huge fan. The "tracking in bits of broken glass" thing actually happened to me recently. Bunch of car break-ins on my street and a few days later I start finding pieces on the ground in my apartment.
I don't wear shoes in the house but I don't think there's much validity around cleanliness unless you've got a shower by the front door and are doing a full wash and change (and even then, I'm not convinced this would make a positive difference in most scenarios)
Mud and stones very easily get stuck to shoes, and tracking in water is a dick move too.
I stopped wearing shoes in the house after going over to a Japanese professor of mine’s house who made us go shoeless (Japanese as in ethnically Japanese, not that they taught Japanese). I was like, oh this makes sense, and I’ve been doing it ever since.
yeah. I see people do it in the summer (and lightly judge them for it) but it just straight up doesn't work in winter
I'm surprised more public facilities (schools, offices, etc) don't have facilities to change into more indoor appropriate footwear though. Nobody wants to clean salty slush off their floors every day at home by tracking that in but we do it every day in public and just let the janitors deal?
i remember watching American Dad a couple years ago, and there was this was this episode about how francine's adoptive parents were Chinese. and one of the running jokes of the episode was the mom going around telling everyone to take their shoes off indoors? and this was supposed to be seen as weird?
WE DO its disgusting.. I swear sometimes I take my shoes off and find another pair of shoes under them.. and a bowl of unseasoned egg salad in my hand.. whiteness is a disease
