Not that I live in the S'Shah anyways, but whenever I've been there, I've always taken off my shoes just by the door, as does anyone else, and this goes for Norway as well. Putting them in a closet rather than under the coats and jackets and stuff sounds strange to me.
What really gets me about Seppo houses is the doorknobs, though. And also the beds. And the asbestos.
Ya, as an adult, I just kick them off next to the door, as does my partner. Friends who visit just do this without having to be asked, so it seems normal.
yeah what's the deal with the little globe door handles that give you no leverage and you have to awkwardly twist your wrist to open the door? and what's the deal with the useles little clicky lock thing in the middle? what smart brain designed this bullshit and what lobbyist paid off their whole nation to get them installed everywhere?
They're actually against code in a lot of places these days specifically because they're hard to grip and turn for anyone with reduced grip strength, and a pain to open with occupied hands
If a house has them they can stay, but for renovations or new builds a lot of people are going with regular paddle style door handles
their windows are also dogshit. i have no idea what went wrong. i blame anglo culture.
They look nice and they're not that inconvenient. Also, they're more difficult to catch clothes or elbows on.
I'm not well traveled but in the US, at least the part I'm from, they usually are under the coats... in the coat closet, of which there is usually one by the front door in single family houses
