Reply to comment by SkylightFlow in TIL that Koreans have had heated floor technology since at least 1,000 B.C.E. by Nice-Violinist-6395

If a Korean is wearing shoes in anyones home where there isnt some kind of emergency or moving going on, it means

  1. He is there breaking a law.
  2. He is batshit crazy.

Koreans take no shoes in a home rule more seriously than religion.

Suddenly, that Frank Costanza plot line makes so much sense.

In college, I went to a party at my friend's place, an American's apartment. The roommate was oriental. Most people took off their shoes. I didn't since my doctor told me not to go bare-footed outside my own house. I didn't want to have my feet injured.

Someone accosted me about not taking off my shoes I said it's an American custom to wear your shoes in the house. They said it was an oriental house, but since my friend was American I said it was an American house.
