Well, you don't wear shoes indoors in any of the Nordic countries.

We have pineapple and banana and kebab and salad on pizza¹. Apparently it is considered weird.


¹ not the same pizza, obviously. That would be weird.

Taking your shoes off is expected in some parts of America, almost unheard of in other parts. Chicago? Shoes off. Florida? Why?

[–] andre613@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Most of Asia and Canada also... You take your shoes off because shit is outside on the ground, and I don't want that tracked into the house!

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Florida? Don't care. Our floors are mostly tile, tracking in sand, sweep.

nonono, I want to see that tropical kebab pizza

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Indoors meaning a home, right? Because i doubt everyone is kicking their shoes off once they get to school/work/grocery stores

[–] Azhad@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

I had to take off my shoes in multiple resturants, "hotels" and museums in Japan for example.

People don't wear shoes indoors in any civilised country. Only Americans do that.

Pineapple and kebab on pizza is available in Germany too, although I think it may be illegal in Italy.

Where I live in Germany it’s very common to leave shoes on indoors (unless there’s a carpet)

[–] olosta@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Pretty common to keep your shoes inside in France. It's more common in houses with a hard floor than in apartments with a wooden floor, but there's absolutely no standard so you usually end up asking.

You've never been to a black woman's home that owns carpet have you? Lol
