>fucking Americans
Fucking Americans
But I always take my shoes off you retarded Nip
A thread died for this.
I hope it was a Fire Force thread
What the fuck is this meme, no one I know keeps their shoes on in the house, it's looked as dirty and somewhat disrespectful.
It means it's not shitty tatami mats or paper thin yakuza construction
American "culture"
>1 fucking country in the west does it
>Everyone else gets also stigmatized
Burgers were a mistake.
I've always take my shoes off whenever I go inside others houses.
Way longer that I've been watching anime.
Who the fuck in the USA keeps their shoes on inside their house?
do they... really?
THIS?!!
Do americans also sleep in their shoes?
I'm wearing shoes inside right now, didn't even wipe them before entering, there is lawnmower clippings all over the carpet.
Too many.
If I'm staying inside I'll remove my shoes but it's for comfort not for any cleanliness reason. I won't remove them either if I'm just coming to get something and going back out.
If I go to someone else's house I'll default to removing them unless I know bette but generally it's pretty obvious.
Also anyone with a dog might as well keep them unless they always take time to wipe their dog's paws, which I highly doubt. Or just cats.
Oh, please. My sister and I would get fucking whooped for walking around the house in our shoes. It was either socks, sandals, or barefoot or else we got the belt.
If it's tile then I can understand the mentality behind keeping your shoes on but it's absolutely egregious to wear shoes on carpet.
>europoors and chinks don't clean their house so they have to remove their shoes
Lmao, and they think they are better for it.
You jackasses are conjuring up old memorys of Mr. Rodgers taking off his outside shoes to put on his inside shoes.
Ever heard if vacuuming? I guess its too complicated for a muslim country.
This is just a problem if you have carpeted floors. But who in their right mind would willingly get those abominations?
Yeah..disgusting...i even read that Amerik*ns sleep with their shoes ON, can you belive that?
Americans are not white.
Why do Americans?
Why would you even keep your shoes on when slippers and crocs are dirt cheap, Is this some kind of thing that only jews do?
Look at you trying to justify being a filthy pig. You sure told me.
>My sister and I would get fucking
go on
>go on
whooped for walking around the house in our shoes. It was either socks, sandals, or barefoot or else we got the belt.
>vacuuming
vacuuming sucks. Sweeping is better if no carpets
You know who else takes off their shoes? Muslims going into their church. I guess it's inevitable for europe to copy that.
>in our shoes. It was either socks, sandals, or barefoot or else we got the belt.
so any feet game is good enough for you two?
> #hagottem
Dont most schools assign bookreports over summer now? You should get on that, vacation is over soon.
no
Just wipe your feet and clean your fucking floors, unless you've been jogging through mud there's no way your feet should be so fucked up you'll fuck up the building just by wearing shoes.
this has to be bait
who the fuck actually drags dirt onto their fucking carpets like an animal
>fucking Americans
while you should be fuccing Japanese
People who wear shoes in their house when they have carpets are actually subhumans, how the fuck can they even relax when the floor is lava no matter where they go. Imagine having to put on shoes every time you get up out of bed.
this, and if a guest tracks dirt on the carpet i would ask them to leave, it's just too rude.
It's only the degenerate retards on the coasts that do this shit, everyone takes their shoes off where i live (MN)
No, shoes go in the fridge
>imagine having to put your shoes only in the morning and only have to take it off at evening instead of every time you leave the house
Haha, yeah the euros got it right!
Why are Japs such massive westaboos?
just put your shoes on when you leave your home, it's literally the only time you need them on. if wearing shoes all day was comfortable taking them off wouldn't be considered a relief.
Because they can't be weeboos.
A lot of people here do it too (MN)
Because foreign cultures are exotic
This is a universal rule among all cultures
>crocs
Not everyone wear uncomfortable dress shoes. My sneakers are very comfy and that's what I wear to work.
>there are americans wearing shoes at their computer right now itt
>if wearing shoes all day was comfortable taking them off wouldn't be considered a relief.
Is it possible that your shoes in particular are unconformable?
I still don't get this meme. I don't know a single person in the US who didn't take their shoes off indoors unless it was some real shithole federal section 8 type shit.
Filter test
baka desu senpai
Nobody I know keeps their shoes on indoors.
t. American
imagine being a country that does so many things wrong that people asking in disbelief if your country actually does something is a meme
You never came home from work and just wanna pass out on any nearby bed or sofa?
I've seen this in American movies as well
People with carpets are subhuman. Learn some principles of decor.
>vacuuming sucks
>On the coasts
On the west coast you mean. Don't drag us east coast fags down too.
Where did this meme of Americans wearing shoes indoors start from? No one here wears shoes indoors you retards.
I know you like to obsess over us and can't stop making memes but next time try not to make shit up.
I live in California. Nobody I've ever met wears their shoes into the house. It's not some kind of regional tendency.
If you're a guest in my home, it's expected that you leave your shoes by the door. The one exception being if you're wearing boots. We naturally provide courtesy corn to such guests.
Imagine a country where every male has his dick mutilated for no reason whatsover and thinks it's something good.
Generally when peopel wear shoes indoor it's only for the first room or the hallway. They don't wear shoes in their bedroom but they'll keep their shoes to go get a drink, go down the basement or go across and exit on the other side of the house.
Israel?
I've never heard of a country like that. Strange notion.
This is no /3/, nigger.
Ordinary Americans go to bed and sleep with their shoes on
False.
Not America.
Only half of the males there have it done.
I also have no idea why this is a meme. I've lived in Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee, and California, and it's just common courtesy to take your shoes off after entering.
However unlike Japanese homes, I think it's rare for American homes to have a designated recessed genkan like pic related.
Do american really do Ohnonononononon do the really do this ?.....HAhsaHAhaHAHhaHAh aMERICA REALLY DOING THIS WhahaahahHAHHA
Because Americans have things to do like not caring about what other countries are doing all the time.
I imagine it comes from the fact that a lot of japan takes the whole shoes off indoors thing to the next level. You don't just take your shoes off, you wear soft slippers too, even keeping extras for guests. And even at school you change into softer indoor shoes or slippers. And then they come to America where there are no guest slippers and the idea of special footwear for indoors is some alien concept it looks like Americans just never take there shoes off.
Or at least thats my take on it.
even if you vacuum, dirt will start to accumulate deep inside the fibers and darken the color.
>western=American
Rent free
And also Americans microwave their shoe
>Adobe
>Western Style
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm............................
A house with 18 people in it, and they never clean the entryway?
So you have to replace the carpet about as often as Japs have to replace their entire house. So what?
My brother in law demanded that I take off my shoes in my sister’s house. I hate him to this day.
just not tracking dirt all over your house prevents the problem
Only the retarded ones. The civilized Americans put them in the oven.
Your feet are filthy too. Even filthier if they've been in shoes all day.
your carpets will still last 10 times longer by not wearing your outdoor shoes indoors.
Carpet appears to be a problem, just use stone.
Yeah I wear my shoes in my house. I keep them inside my house too. Don't care lol. You really think I'm gonna stop outside in my garden, take them off, then put them in some what, some outside shoe shed? Nah, fuck that. Walk into the house with them on, up the stairs, take them off in my room, put them under my bed. Fine by me. If you visit feel free to leave your shoes on.
This. When I lived with my parents our living room had a very light carpet, and they don't take their shoes off indoors. After years of being trodden on paths of dirt began to form, making it clearly visible where everyone was walking the most. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but it was kinda gross now that I look back.
This. It's not really a choice to take your shoes off or not in Japan when the floor is made out of tatami mats. They're basically really shit rice straw carpet on foam boards. Pic related. If you walked on them in shoes you'd fuck them up. Even in the US people usually take their shoes off on carpet if they want it to last, but it can still tolerate a lot more abuse than tatami mats. Although, sometimes as the carpet gets older they stop giving as much of a shit until it gets replaced and then it's no shoes again. If it's hard wood or tile floor who gives a shit?
ive never entered a house where people kept their shoes on
Do US houses still have carpet? I thought floors were all wood or stone there now. I'm not taking shoes off for that, that's practically a forest.
Well, what do the obese do?
I live on the east coast of the US and I've only been in a handful of homes where they make you take your shoes off.
Honestly it feels weird, I don't like being without my shoes because it feels like I'm going to be stuck there for a while. I only take my shoes off right before bed and without them I feel naked.
>i-i swear i don't do it a-and i don't know anybody that do this
>it's almost like 330m people aren't all the same
Do you enjoy smelling other people feets?
What the fuck.
Depends how old the place is and what the trends were last time it was redecorated. I knew a guy that had a condo with a fucking carpeted kitchen once, it was like that when he moved in. I think he moved somewhere else eventually before he bothered tearing it out.
>Could you take your shoes off? We kind of do the Japanese thing here.
An actual scene from an American TV show.
>tfw wearing shoes right now at my computer
feels good
God the lady I'm living with now is this older Russian woman and she makes me take my shoes off every time I want to take more than three steps in the house. It's become so annoying I decided to just get a 500 pack of disposable boot covers and wear those in the house instead.
I also am not allowed to go barefoot, because the oils from my feet will dirty the floors. So basically the ONLY time I'm allowed to have bare feet is in the shower or in bed, otherwise I have to be wearing something. This is actually going to be one of the main reasons why I move somewhere else.
>Do US houses still have carpet?
Yes, although in my experience it's mostly older people that like it. New homes aren't usually built with it, and if a younger couple buys a house they might rip it out and replace it with wood or tile if budget permits.
>Well, what do the obese do?
It's probably not a big deal considering it's more the hardness of a shoe that would do damage, or that dirt can easily get stuck between the straw and discolor the mats. Tatami mats are fucking shit. Furniture will leave dents in them and being that they're made out of straw they turn yellow over time and are prone to mold.
Well yes, that's how it is. Japanese don't just invite you over to their house you know like they do in America. You make friends with a guy once in America you take them to your house pretty much right away to hang out and shit. Or you invite them around you hang for 5 minutes and then go out again. In Japan if someone invites you over you are very close and you can expect to be there for hours at the least. Most of asia is like that.
DO NOT LET AMERICANS TAKE THEIR SHOES OFF IN YOUR HOME, AMERICAN FEET IS THE WORSE SMELLING SCENT YOU COULD EVER SMELL! NO SOCKS CAN CONTAIN THE HORRIBLE SMELL YOU'RE ABOUT TO WHIFF! I'VE WORKED ON FARMS AND CHANGED THE SMELLIEST OF DIAPERS IN MY LIFE TIME SO I SMELL SHIT ALMOST DAILY BUT NO AMOUNT OF SHIT CAN COMPARE TO THE SMELL OF AMERICAN FEET! "WE" AS A SPECIES, DO NOT POSSESS THE TECHNOLOGY TO CONTAIN THE SMELL OF AMERICAN FEET! YOU THINK AIR FRESHENERS AND SCENTED CANDLES ARE GOING TO SAVE YOU? WELL THINK AGAIN, YOU'RE JUST MASKING THE SMELL! HOPE YOU LIKE THE SMELL OF STRAWBERRIES AND AMERICAN FEET!
IF YOU CAN'T TO GET RID OF THE SMELL IN YOUR HOME, TAKE SOME BLEACH AND SOME AMMONIA AND POUR THEM ALL OVER YOUR CARPET AND LET THAT SWEAT SMELL OF MUSTERED GAS TAKE YOU TO A BETTER PLACE BECAUSE TRACKING SHIT IN YOUR HOME IS A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN TRACKING IN AMERICAN FEET SMELL!
Americans invite strangers into their houses?
Weird
>God the lady I'm living with now is this older Russian woman
what do you mean, how did you score that?
>>Americans invite strangers into their houses
All the time.
>This is a Japanese thing
Only retards track dirt, dust, and other detritus from the outside into the house. God forbid you wear your shoes inside if you live in the countryside where it's a perpetual wetlands with marshes and mud and shit
To my defense I only wear them indoors, and everyone should do the same. Don't know why you posted that.
Do japanese people take their shoes off at work? Surely not. They are still all suit and tie at office jobs I think.
But it would seem rather hypocritical to have shoe lockers at schools and then throw that idea out the window in the workplace.
Well the wellies obviously go by the door not in the house.
do you keep your shoes inside other people houses?
Why would that be hypocritical? The employees don't also take turns doing cleaning duty.
Google images tells me they are wearing shoes
It's hypocritical because if you think that you need to switch to indoor shoes for school in order to keep it clean, why wouldn't that also apply to the workplace?
A lot of companies will have Japanese style rooms with tatami for break rooms or meal rooms, and you have to remove shoes in there.
Actually unless they're some giant megacorp, the employees probably do take turns cleaning.
Have you ever worked in an office? The carpets are those tightly woven corporate ones, the kind easy to clean.
>all these fucking Euros who can't afford a decent house with a polished hardwood floor.
Poor countries were a mistake.
And school floors are usually that same kind of carpet. Or hard tile which is even easier to clean. So what's your point?
Because the workplace has paid cleaners. Although evidently, if they don't it looks like the employees will be doing that shit too after all, my mistake.
>school floors are usually that same kind of carpet
Huh? In Japan the schools are mostly wood floors, they don't use that awful sharp ass carpet we do in the west.
I hate hard floors. They make my feet hurt if I stand on them too long without shoes. Hard floors should be exclusive to entryways, kitchens, and bathrooms where cleaning is the most necessary.
>What is less commonly known is that they follow the same custom when entering certain public buildings, even though such buildings may have no tatami flooring.
>When entering a public school, everyone (students, teachers, employees and visitors) take off their shoes just inside the entrance and put on slippers or special indoor shoes–regardless of status or authority. In this way, taking off shoes acts as an “equalizer.”
>Japanese public schools do not employ janitors. The Japanese education system (and Japanese citizens in general) believe that requiring students to clean the school themselves teaches respect and responsibility. Another reason for students to take off their shoes is to prolong the life of their outdoor shoes. The indoor slippers and shoes are usually much cheaper to replace than the outdoor shoes.
And you're saying wood floors are hard clean?
It's because Americans don't carpet everything, and many middle and upperclass people wear their shoes indoors on hardwood floors or tile, especially if they have dogs or cats and will need to vacuum anyway.
>Another reason for students to take off their shoes is to prolong the life of their outdoor shoes. The indoor slippers and shoes are usually much cheaper to replace than the outdoor shoes.
This actually makes a ton of sense. Shoes can wear out quickly when you're walking everywhere all the time.
At least you Americans never had to wear school uniforms. 7 years of wearing some mini me type suit almost every day makes you never want to wear a uniform ever again.
baka
do you crawl on the floor smelling people's feet? if you take a shower every day i don't see how this is an issue. it's much preferable to the other option that is bringing all the shit and dirt from outside into your own house.
school uniforms are based
Everyone in this thread claiming this doesn't happen in America is lying out their ass, growing up at least half my friends' families did this weird shit, hell I even knew a dude who wore his shoes to bed, though he was derided for it
>shower every day
Why the hell would anyone ever shower every day?
>I even knew a dude who wore his shoes to bed
kek what was someone going to steal it at the group home he was living in.
Yes, I sleep in a giant boot
Alfred?
yeah, i do this too. best part of weeb culture.
speaking of american's mentioned in Animu, one of the present seasons episodes used being american or pleasing americans as an insult. was it Dr. Stone? i can't remember, i watched 5 shows i saved up in one saturday morning.
>what is sand and dust
No matter how much you clean it will accumulate every day, especially in sandy areas.
I have to sweep everyday or the floor is a dusty/sandy mess in 3 days tops.
>dude let me go to school in regular clothes and pajamas
Uncultured swine.
I always keep my shoes on, even when I sleep. I have to be ready to run from a mass shooting or terrorist attack.
You have a receiving foyer area for strangers/delivery people and such (shoes stay on).
Then you have a specific room near the front door for entertaining casual guests (shoes optional, but usually on).
You can expand that slightly for small parties. You also have a restroom specifically meant for their use only (shoes on).
Everywhere else is off-limits to the public, and shoes stay off.
If you're going to entertain, it's better to just do it outside and BBQ to limit them to visits to the containment bathroom.
It was at a middle school confirmation retreat I had to go to (basically a bible camp). Even the chaperones were laughing at him, saying shit like "why are you wearing your shoes to bed, you want to be prepared in case you have to suddenly run away in the middle of the night?"
Que?
Yes, a house is also a space for business dealings and presenting a public front in the United States because so many people have homes compared to most countries.
>confirmation retreat
I feel immense pity for your childhood self user.
>he doesn't shower every day
fucking disgusting
Boots go on plastic trays by the door, but most Americans step on concrete, pavement, and the gas peddle of their car, over an average day.
is walking in my house with shoes really that big of a deal? it’s not like i walk around in mud and shit
Why the hell would anyone shower every day? There's literally no need for that.
>Americans never had to wear school uniforms
Do you honestly believe every American school doesn't have uniforms?
The fact you're trying to defend not keeping yourself clean every day just makes me laugh.
Get stronger feet faggot. I walk on street pavement going down to the pool most days.
The most untrue thing ever.
>wanting your house to smell like feet
Just because you don't easily see it doesn't mean it's not there.
Lol I went to catholic school, I was wearing a blazer, a dress shirt and a tie with slacks and dress shoes every day
Okay, but I'm not gonna shower every day. I see no point in doing that at all.
Most Americans shower right after waking up and right before going to sleep. So we technically shower twice a day. I can't imagine the smell in your country if everyone actually doesn't shower daily.
>not cleaning your house
>not cleaning yourself
sasuga europoor
ok then tell my why i should care about some dust/dirt that i can’t see or feel when i walk around in my carpet without shoes. i only ever vacuum like once every other month and lazy job at that
>doesn't shower
>scared of feet smell
I found the problem, take showers with soap you filthy american hillbillies.
>>Most Americans shower right after waking up and right before going to sleep
So now you're saying you shower twice a day? Madness. At maximum, only 3-4 showers a week are necessary. 14 showers a week? No way too much.
Damn, I wish I got a retreat for being confirmed methodist, but I did that shit alone of my own volition, so I guess it would be odd if I did.
>There's literally no need for that.
Washing away the day's sweat and occasional dirt is the whole point of showering you double nigger
what a fucking pussy
For most people I know it's one or the other, and I flip my schedule to accommodate others at hotels and such.
what if you shower every morning instead of every night
Thanks, but it wasn't as bad as it might sound, it was only a weekend long with a lot of free time to socialize, and after being confirmed I got a bunch of money and gifts at the end from family so it was worth it.
The United States is a very large place. Perhaps some of it is regional? I know growing up in Vermont, the rule was shoes off at the door for every childhood friend I visited. I've kept that rule for myself as well. I suspect it's a rule in VT because mud season will fuck your life, and you really don't want to track that shit into your house.
>sleeping in your filth
>getting your sheets dirty for no reason
Then you are clean and presentable for work.
Either way you are keeping cleanliness to a reasonable degree by showering once every twenty four hours. It's just a matter of bedsheet cleanliness vs work cleanliness.
>Washing away the day's sweat and occasional dirt
No, that's crazy. That's like washing all of your clothes after only wearing them once.
what if they’re already dirty, so then i wake up to get fresh
Children usually outgrow their shoes faster than they were them out.
>he doesn't wash his clothes after using them
The only exception are jeans
>he doesn't wash his shirts after wearing them once.
You disgust me.
You're being sarcastic.
R-right?
I only shower in the mornings, but sometimes take a bath at night if I want to just relax for a bit.
>right after waking up and right before going to sleep
That's people who live near equator. it's hot outside.
Were you older when you went through confirmation? I think we only got a retreat since we were still kids, and because in Florida there is a big confirmation camp in Leesburg that brings hundreds of confirmation students together from across the state all at once.
If you shower before bed, you're going to wake up fresh anyway. Are you really sweating that much during the night? Crank the AC a little if that's an issue.
>Shower before bed
>Sweat, drool, etc.
>Wake up and go about your day already dirty.
That said, main reason I and I think most people shower in the morning is it helps me wake up.
I shower once every 2 weeks or so
>washing everything after wearing it only once
Absolutely terrible. This is beyond wasteful and meaningless. The clothes are going to get ruined immediately. Do you think girls wash their bras after only wearing them once?
You put all the clothes in a basket and wash it after a week or 2 not everyday.
No one rewears underwear either.
>The clothes are going to get ruined immediately
And Marie Kono insists that folding my socks in a bundle will wear out the elastic, but I've only ever thrown away socks because I've worn a hole in the bottom. Clothes wear out fastest just from fucking wearing them.
>Do you think girls wash their bras after only wearing them once?
Well now I hope not
Growing up in Arizona I only had one friend's house that I ever had to take off my shoes. His mom was a neurotic clean freak and the house looked like it was unlived in despite housing thee children and a dog.
>Perhaps some of it is regional?
Certainly could be. Most of my memories relating to this are from when I lived in Massachusetts, half the houses I entered were fine with people leaving shoes on and did so themselves. I'd always take mine off because a) I don't want to get their floors filthy and b) it's the way things were done in my family. However, their parents would always repeatedly reassure me I didn't need to take my shoes off as if I was being overly polite or something, it was the strangest thing. Mind you this was only like half of the people I knew. the other half were cleaner/more respectful and took their shoes off, especially Asian friends and their families.
i get really bad bed head and my pillow sheets are dirty so they make my hair greasy
>No one rewears underwear
Now I know you guys are pretending because there's no way I'm believing everyone only wear underwear once and then washes it. I can easily get a good 3-6 days out of the same pair of underwear.
>sleep on the floor like barbarians

I know you're joking but I've known people who unironically believe this. It's fucking disgusting and all for saving a buck or two on buying detergent
Are you a fucking eskimo? If you live anywhere warm you're going to end up with sweat stains by the end of the day, how do you wear that shit twice?
Are you Indian?
>watch American porn
>they literally keep their shoes and high heels on while fucking
is japanese BO especially awful from their nasty diet or something?
I was twelve when I did so not that old.
Sometimes.
>perpetually 20 years behind western culture
We would still be in the industrial age without japan's help in medicine unit 731 and tech development.
same, desu
I remember reading something that apparently Japs don't have the gene for BO, their sweat doesn't give off any scent at all. I don't know if it was real or just "muh glorious japan" circlejerking.
Of course if an unbathed mongrel allowed crust to build up around his crevices then I'm sure the dead skin would begin to smell.
That's a kink, not a normal thing.
>obligatory dab practice
Asian propaganda to make up for their small heights and small penises
japan has very little in the way of claims to fame for actual tech development. They got like batteries and it doesn't seem unlikely that wouldn't have been figured out eventually. I often feel like much of japan is just a front of modernized appeal when they still squat over holes in the floor to shit and still miss.
>I remember reading something that apparently Japs don't have the gene for BO
total bullshit
Yuros don't even brush their teeth everyday
>I remember reading something that apparently Japs don't have the gene for BO, their sweat doesn't give off any scent at all.
I think you misunderstood what you read; there are travel guides for westerners telling them to bring deodorant from home. The elevens still have BO and wear deodorants, but the deodorants sold in Japan are not strong enough for most westerners.
>sitting on the toilet which ruins your leg's blood flow
>what is lasers, compacts discs/recorders, microprocessors
They lack apocrine sweat glands so they don't smell as much as non-Asians, also causes them to have dry earwax among other things

>implying they didn't
Oh, so was I, don't worry you didn't miss anything by not going to a retreat, half of it was the same biblical education and worship we did at home.
>Watch japanese hentai
>They keep their socks on while fucking
Disgusting.
Well, here in Florida (at least in the cities around Miami) public schools require us to use uniforms.
From where I come from (not the US), it was seen as dirty to be in just socks around the house, you had to use either shoes or slippers because it was assumed beforehand that the floor may be dirty (even if you mopped the floor).
Even to this day, I feel anxious when I got to someone else's house and I walk in socks, I feel as if I where just getting them dirty.
Oh, and in some cases, it could even be seen as disrespectful.
>Laser
Idea first proposed by Einstein, first functional one constructed in Malibu, California
>Microprocessor
Developed independently at more or less the same time by 3 different companies (Garrett AiResearch, Texas Instruments, and Intel), all American
>Compact Disc
This is the only one that Japan was involved in. Sony jointly developed it with Philips, which is Dutch. Also, the whole thing was based on an American inventor's patents. And the whole thing relies on lasers.
My Dutch friend stayed with us for a few weeks and never took his shoes off.
My overly polite leaf arse never said anything, even though I really hoped he would.
