In graduate school I swabbed a public toilet seat and wiped the specimen in a Petri dish. My cohort swabbed the bottom of their shoe and did the same. The public toilet specimen grew virtually nothing. The shoe specimen grew the equivalent of a rainforest in bacteria.
I can't believe Americans wear shoes inside.
You expect us to step on our bathroom carpet in our bare feet?
LMAO, I was like what the fuck is bathroom carpet, then I got the joke. It's a joke right? Please.
Unfortunately not, some areas of the US have nasty ass carpet all the way up to the toilet.
Hey! You leave my extensive-rug-of-back-hair out of this!
2 of the rentals I've lived in had bathroom carpet.
Rentals.
Student accommodation..
They were probably 40% vomit, 25% filth, 25% jizz and 10% actual carpet.
Some do. Most don't (in my experience).
I live in California. The only people I know who wear shoes in the house are those with neurological damage making it painful for them to walk around in socks, slippers, or barefoot. CRPS sucks.
Me neither it weirds me out when people do this
Americans also don’t eat off the floor.
"No shirt, no shoes, no service". You get kicked out of most places if you don't have shoes.
I'm obviously talking about inside houses.
Toilet seats are naturally smooth and bacteria have a hard time staying on the surface. Most public toilet seats have an additional antimicrobial coating.
