Tipping in America. Yes, so annoying. I haven't caved under that societal pressure, so maybe some people think I'm a jerk but I only give a decent tip if it was earned. I suppose I still cave to the pressure to give a little bit of a tip even if service was lackluster, but I have done no tip on a few occasions.

The toilet thing totally makes sense! Why isn't this the standard bathroom layout plan in America too?!

But the shoes. People really wear their shoes in their house? What's wrong with them? Why would you do that?! We've always had a no shoe house and it seems the same amongst or friends whom we visit. I either just associate with the right people or don't get around to enough other houses. Well I'm fine with it. Shoes are for outside... they're filthy. You know what happens out on that world we walk on? Yuck!
