True - but it's just not safe in Australia :-D
Admittedly, many people do take off their shoes when inside, but seriously - do NOT leave your footwear outside - the instinctive response to any unattended shoe left outdoors, is to bash it against a wall to see if anything crawls out...
Edit: Poll - I always thought the scariest thing in QC was Crazy-Eyed Dora, especially when armed with a sword (https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1323) or channelling the Old Ones (https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1754)

...which is why double-pluggers* are so popular - snek can't hide in there!

--- Quote from: Farideh on 31 Oct 2022, 19:29 ---The 'taking off your shoes inside the house' rule also applies to New Zealand, by the way.

I did not know that, but I have only ever visited New Zealand for work and never entered a private home. I didn't know it was a thing in Canada or anywhere in the Western world, generally, either. I was raised to take my shoes off when entering the house, but that's very much a thing in China and the rest of East Asia. I still do it in Australia, but as pointed out above, leaving boots and shoes outside is a bad idea here.

I lived for a year in a Northern B.C. small town where it is a muddy nightmare in the spring, you have to take your shoes off in ALL public places!!!!! Imagine going to the library or the bank and taking your dang shoes off.
And, confirmed: Tim Horton's CAN suck a dick. And in small towns it's often the only place to eat that isn't fast food. But don't say that in Ontario those people don't know good coffee if it hits them in the face.

Oh, here in California, my brother used to be on some fire crews. Admittedly, we don’t have deadly ones here, but his boots sitting outside are how he came to have a pet scorpion for a while.
