  • I mean, if you’re doing yard work or something understandable to leave your shoes on in your own home if you’re coming inside for a snack or to grab something etc I do that all the time.

    But like, if I invite someone over to hang out for a few hours I expect them to take their shoes off tying the laces isn’t that complicated.

    And if I am taking the day off and don’t really need to leave the house for any reason I won’t even touch my shoes I’m going to be barefoot or in slippers all God damn day.




  • That there might probably the difference in the shoes on vs shoes off culture.

    People who think it’s disrespectful to treat someone’s home as less important or people who think it’s disrespectful to treat the guest as less important.

    To me someone’s home takes priority over the guest, as it’s just what I was raised by. A house is someone’s home and extremely important to them, whereas a guest is not required to be there it’s a privilege to be invited inside and not having shoes really isn’t a big deal to ask for us.


  • Canada is labelled as shoes off but we also have slippers.

    Although not sure about Nigeria, are slippers and flip flops like expected to be worn or just available?

    For me I have slippers which are worn often but it’s not expected that anyone inside wear them. Most people just wear socks if they come to visit. And myself I go barefoot unless my feet get cold then I grab the slippers.




  • I have no idea why anyone would want to wear shoes in the house.

    It’s so constricting and unnecessary. Do y’all not clean your floors? Do you feel like your floors are gross and shouldn’t be touching your bare feet?

    When you lay on the couch do you need to take your shoes off and then put them back on when you get up to go make a snack in the kitchen?

    Makes zero sense to me




  • Looks like she is a Himalayan black bear which is a different species from the American black bear.

    However there are a few white American black bears but they are typically only found on the western coast of British Columbia and maybe the Alaskan panhandle. Those ones are known as kermode bears or spirit bears and are a unique subspecies on the American black bears.
