UK is shoes ON. Canada definitely shoes OFF. US is shoes ON, drives me nuts seeing tv show characters hop on the BED with shoes on. ๐ก๐ก๐ก
I'm from the UK and every household i've ever known is shoes OFF.
With you on this, only ever known shoes off bar the odd occasion where I'm there for work and will only be a few minutes. I ask of course before traipsing around!
Sure, there's the odd occasion to nip in and out with them on but largely everyone is shoes off.
The US is shoes OFF most of the time. Hollywood is just filled with sociopaths.
Speaking of Hollywood, it was a Japanese movie that made me realize how ironclad their "shoes off" rule is, compared to ours.
Where I live, it's shoes off, but nobody's going to bat an eye if you forget something inside and keep your shoes on while you go back and get it. Even if your shoes are dirty, as long as you clean up the mess you made when you get back, it's no big deal. So, it's shoes off, but it's not like there's a special zone by the door where you must switch footwear and you must never wear shoes after that point.
So, what I saw when I watched the Japanese horror movie "The Ring" surprised me. It was a movie where people were running in terror, they were out of their minds in fear, but even in that state, when entering a house / apartment, they'd still take off their shoes. For me, as a westerner, it was really distracting to see someone take the time to observe that shoes on / shoes off rule even in a state of utter panic. But, the reason they did it that way is that for a Japanese audience, it would have completely broken their suspension of disbelief if someone entered a house / apartment and didn't remove their shoes.
I used to believe art could be used to gaze into the zeitgeist of their production times.
Then I realized what you have just said. If someone in the future looks at hollywood productions, they'll have very wrong ideas about how people live nowadays. Like, it will be comically wrong. You could throw a dice to select a verb from a dictionary and you'd be more correct.
There's an idea among foreigners that Americans use Mayo in every meal. It's because there's a set prop list for refrigerators in productions that every sitcom uses.
Another example is the Transatlantic accent. At most, it was just used by actors and public announcers because it was clear and easy to understand. The general public didn't talk like that.
Can confirm, US is mixed, mostly off in my area. I'd be curious to see this broken down by state.
