    This is a regional thing within the us, too. We don’t do house sandals, but there are places where people look at me like i’m from mars when i take my shoes off at the door. Then i look at their carpetted floors and try to poker-face my look of abject disgust.

      Carpets in the US are designed so that they actually improve when you smear dog shit residue between their fibers. That’s how you break them in, they get soft and comfy that way.
