Like outside? It's so wild to me how some can step into their living space (or even bedroom) with the same shoes they use outside.

Having grown up in South Africa, moving to the states was the first time I ever heard of such a thing as a peanut allergy, or shrimp allergy, or gluten allergy, or any kind of allergy that wasn't having to wear a medic-alert bracelet to indicate an allergic reaction to penicillin.

Removing one's shoes before entering a house isn't a thing in South Africa.

Filth can sometimes be a good thing.
