I can't believe Americans wear shoes inside.

You expect us to step on our bathroom carpet in our bare feet?

LMAO, I was like what the fuck is bathroom carpet, then I got the joke. It's a joke right? Please.

Unfortunately not, some areas of the US have nasty ass carpet all the way up to the toilet.

Hey! You leave my extensive-rug-of-back-hair out of this!

2 of the rentals I've lived in had bathroom carpet.

Rentals.

Student accommodation..

They were probably 40% vomit, 25% filth, 25% jizz and 10% actual carpet.

I live in California. The only people I know who wear shoes in the house are those with neurological damage making it painful for them to walk around in socks, slippers, or barefoot. CRPS sucks.

Americans also don’t eat off the floor.

"No shirt, no shoes, no service". You get kicked out of most places if you don't have shoes.
