What's considered normal in your home but weird in others?

For myself

Keeping bread in the freezer

Hanging the toilet paper so it rolls out from the back.

I keep bread in the freezer. We don't go through it fast enough before it molds

LOL, If my husband is going to the grocery store for something I have to remind him NOT to buy anymore bread.
I have bread, hotdog buns and hamburger buns in my freezer almost always.
We have a small upright freezer in the basement,

We do both of these. Bread extra loaves when on sale, so freezer - yes.
My DH is under, I am over. It’s a race to the roll

I will not cook eggs, they are disgusting.

My Mom used to always make Blueberry muffins when we had spaghetti. I carried on the tradition without ever questioning it. After about 10 years of marriage my spouse finally asked why I made them when we had spaghetti. It was as if there was a glitch in the matrix. I didn’t have an answer and was the first time it ever occurred to me that it was an odd pairing.

Fish sauce.

A rice cooker. I had no idea you could cook rice any other way until I was 25 and had a friend cook us dinner, with rice on the stove top. Say what??

All the Disney stuff in my house

Hmm, maybe our dog bed island? We have 3 dogs and they have an entire large corner of the family room filled with 4 beds on a mismatched rug. There is also a blankie fort between the loveseat and ottoman for the one who likes to go in "his cave".

Our kids are grown but it feels like we are back in the toddler years with all the dog clutter.

Well, it wouldn't be weird in Canada, but I get the impression that taking your shoes off at the door when you enter someone's home in the US can be considered weird. I don't care if you think your shoes are clean. Trust me. They aren't. And no, I'm not just talking about if they are wet or muddy or snowy. I'm talking about all of the time. Now, if you had some medical reason that required you wearing shoes indoors, I would have no problem, but in general, we prefer people take their outdoor footwear off in our home.

Are you able to ask your mom how that started? Maybe it's like chili and cinnamon rolls?

We have the captions turned on whenever we’re watching anything on the TV.

We’re not hard-of-hearing. I just hate a really loud TV, & the way the background noises are on TV shows & movies, sometimes you miss little things that are said.

Also, I think it helped my kids when they were learning to read.

In our bedroom, at the end of our bed, we have a twin-size air mattress. We watch a lot of TV in our room as a family, & it gives everyone a place to sit. Additionally, our dog is now older, & he sleeps on it at night. And, w/o the air mattress at the foot of our bed, he can’t jump up on our bed anymore. He doesn’t get on our bed very often because he has the air mattress now, but, when he wants to, he jumps up on the air mattress first & then onto the bed.

Well, unless you're in an Asian community, then it wouldn't be considered weird in the U.S.

Well, based on the weird/awkward looks that I get when I ask people to please remove their shoes at the door, I am of the assumption that it isn't necessarily all that common, especially in the nice weather days. I have lived in four different corners of the US and have received similar responses in each area from many people. I have also gone to people's homes, taken my shoes off at the door out of habit, and had them say, "Oh, we never take our shoes off in the house."

Shoes always off in the house.....my kids do it at their houses too because that is how they grew up.

And yes, an absurd amount of Disney things on display

Traipsing into someones house with shoes on is the height of rudeness unless and until the homeowner says it’s ok to do so, nothing to do with Asian. More so to do with manners,

Honestly, I didn't even know this was a thing before the DIS. It's one of a bunch of things I wouldn't know I was failing at if it wasn't for this board.

We totally do this. We live in a condo and try to be really mindful of making noise. Keeping the volume low and the closed-captions on is perfect solution.
