Canadian here but still, shoes in house? Gross. Obsession with gun culture? Also gross.

German here. The shoe one is worse.

What I really hate is that it seems like American homes are designed for wearing your shoes indoors. Entryways don't commonly have enough space next to the doors to put shoes or a shoe caddy, or there's no nearby wall, so you'd have to put your shoes out in the open.

I know that may be a dumb excuse, but it always annoys me

Shoes in the house is very regional. I live in Colorado and everyone takes off their shoes just inside the door when visiting. The only exception would be like if someone came to deliver a piece of furniture or something where they need foot protection. Maybe it’s more common where it doesn’t ever snow, to leave them on?

Also Canadian, and never understood it - but in thinking, are there any Canadian shows that show the people in their own house without shoes on?

Canadian too, I wear my shoes inside. I don't have kids, and I don't roll around on the floor, so why would I care?

For me, outside is dirty and that's fine, inside is clean.

If I stepped in chewing gum or dogshit or even just general grime, I don't want that inside.

Are your walkways made out of dog shit? These are very specific things that you dont step on regularly.
