Island Of Misfits

[BasicMember]

You all seem like great people, but this is too slow for me, I'm out. Take care and good luck with anything you do, all of you. Love and Respect. Basic.

Just said goodbye to a friend from KY who is here to visit. We spoke about something briefly when he came that I haven't thought about before. Here in this country, we always take our shoes of when we enter peoples houses, to not do so is seen as unpolite. If you don't it signals sort of "You have such a dirty home I better keep my boots on in case there's snakes and bugs and shit" while in the US it seems to be the complete other way around, you keep your shoes on to signal that "Your home is so clean that I don't have to worry that I'll ruin my shoes".

I spend a year in the US, but I didn't visit many peoples homes, or, a few but I had been drinking and doing other drugs and I got naked as soon as I got inside the door, lol. Ah, youth..

Am I understanding this shoe-thing wrong? Either way is fine by me, I have a vacuum cleaner and I understand people have different cultures. Like a family from Afghanistan I have befriended. They bring like slippers or moccasin type footwear when they come to visit and put on when they come inside the door. I don't know if it's a cultural behavior or just them. I mean, it's a middle ground to some extent, maybe they want to wear shoes but are trying to fit in with our culture. Looks warm and soft. Maybe I should start doing that.

Also, you wont find carpeted floors in Sweden. I haven't seen one it at least 30 years. We put rugs on wooden floorboards or linoleum floor mats.

Just something I thought I'd try to ask some Americans about and see what they had to say about it. I like differences and I think it's interesting.

I think it's both my grandmother always takes her shoes at her house my mother house to.

Basic has left the site. Hope the door doesn't hit him in the ass on the way out.

Here on the frontier, we were mostly raised as heathens.

My folks used to make us put on shoes when we went out in public, but indoors at other houses it all depended on the host's preference.

Got back from my pain management appointment in Columbia MO. The doctor is cutting down on my Percocet, from the 10 mg to the 7.5 mg dose. Not sure why, but it sucks for me

Too slow,,is that a European thing
What the fuck does that mean? Most here smoke weed and are laid back potheads.
You probably need a site that does coke and meth. Maybe they are a little faster.
Never heard that in all my years on this forum.

 

[RosterMan]

Maybe he does not like short people

 

[WeedHopper]

If you want me to take my shoes off to come in your house. I'm guessing I'll be staying outside with my truck.

 

[RosterMan]

I was going to rename him Flasher

 

[WeedHopper]

Never heard such shit in my life on a pot forum. Too slow. WTF

 

[WeedHopper]

Anytime someone says your great people,,but I don't want to hang with you anymore.
I start looking for shit that's missing or knives stuck in my back.

 

[Hippie420]

It's Roster's fault. He was supposed to tell him about the strip bingo that we have on Friday nights.

This is our new puppy, a white German Shepherd. We are going to name her Phoebe
