First of all, let's try to avoid American-bashing, and stay respectful to everyone.

I'll start: for me it's the tipping culture. Especially nowadays, with the recent post on !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world with the 40% tip, it just seems so weird to me to have to pay extra just so that menu prices can stay low.

First, I need to confirm if it's true or just a television trope.

Do North Americans really keep their shoes on while lounging on their beds, or is it something directors do for whatever technical reason?

If true, then I can't get over it - and I come from a outside-shoes-indoors culture.

USA here. Grew up wearing shoes all over the house. Even in carpet, etc. one out of a dozen friends will have a house rule no shoes in the house or on the carpet. Those people are weirdos 😉 edit. I do wear shoes on my bed or couch. Wouldn’t place on my pillow or my head area.

I may be doing it wrong I admit. I haven’t had any foot oral transmission of disease that I know of. 🤦‍♂️
