Eating and drinking on set is notoriously difficult to pull off. You see one take, but the crew has done about 17 takes of the same scene. Even with chefs on hand, they can’t bloat the actors up with food. Hence why in most dinner scenes, there’s a lot of cutting and mocked chewing but little goes in their mouth.
It is not that difficult as other directors do it well. I see that in Japanese shows. It is OK if actors pretend to eat or drink when it is believable. In many episodes of Seinfeld we see the actors drinking coffee but we can clearly see that they weren’t taking a sip.
My boomer parents have dedicated inside shoes for this purpose. When you get old and have hardwood floors you need the extra arch support and traction. Podiatrists recommend wearing shoes inside.
Could be, when I came to Canada and aome Canadians wore shoes in the house I was stunned. Like, it is just not right; Nevermind all the nasty shit you stepped in all day.

As an asian that will be scolded if i ever do that, it weird me out and it does left an impression that westerner wear their shoes inside their house.
A lot do, but also a lot don’t. It’s household by household.

I agree. Wearing shoes inside is really gross.
I think it’s a USA thing. We don’t wear shoes inside the house in Europe.

Just drive like Nicholas Cage drives.
