World map of tradition of removing shoes in home. Green: shoes removed; Blue: shoes not removed.

If you don’t remove your shoes in my house I’ll remove them for you with your feet as collateral damage.

Green=sensible countries, blue=crazy countries

My Finnish partner before his family arrived: They will ask where to put their shoes.

Me: But we don’t have anywhere… Can they keep them on their feet?

The thing about not removing your shoes at home in southern Europe and specifically Italy is because our houses have tiles in every room instead of carpet (which btw is unhygienic as hell) and hardwood floors. So while floor washing is a daily activity for us, the same can’t be said for those who have carpet/wooden panels.

As for actually taking off your shoes at home, yes we (Italians) do remove them. It’s not a traditional thing to do stricto sensu, but it’s common. I mean, who wants to keep their shoes on all day? Especially after a long day at school or work. Though we don’t have a different pair of shoes; we either go barefoot, wear socks, slippers or flip-flops.

I hate wearing shoes inside and my parents are always like ‘put on shoes!!’

hello im french and if you dont remove your shoes after entering my house you’ll be asked to GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE

holy shit i just remembered being 6 or something and telling my father “i love girls and women so much theyre so beautiful but all men and boys are brutal and ugly” and,,,, this man had the guts to act surprised when i officially came out 10 years later lmao

people on facebook are so straight they dont even know what a keysmash is, i literally saw someone say “i think it might be a snigger”, i cant live like this anymore

Isn’t it weird how you can actually feel the pain in your chest and stomach when something really hurts your feelings

This is actually because it activates your vagus nerve! Basically your body goes “we are so upset! We must be injured! Where???? On the inside guts! Those are confusing and hard to differentiate!!! Confusing guts are hurt!”

Great! How do I uninstall it?

“great! how do i uninstall it?” carries the same vibe as “thanks! i hate it” but more ACTIONABLE bc we gettin our shit together in 2k18
