Never heard that term "Mainies" before. Had to laugh though re abbreviations, as saw a tweet by an American on twitter poking fun at us for calling documentaries "docos" and said we were a "deeply unserious" country. 😂 Ok, so the barefoot thing kinda of irks me to be honest. (Outside of beach areas). And I need to point out that is NOT Australia wide in town. It is NOT something done in and around cities. It's more regional areas, like around regional Qld and other places and small coastal towns. It's not something I do not do any of my family or friends and we are far from being well off or "posh". We also have no shoes no shirt for many places establishments here too trust me lol. In my many years living in Sydney (til recently) I never saw anyone barefoot outside of the beach areas. Certainly not in supermarkets or shops or cafes. Personally I think it's a bit off to enter someone's place of business with no shoes. Not only that but they could be liable if someone steps on something or spills hot beverage on bare feet etc One thing I truly dislike, which I saw a few weeks ago in a coastal Qld town is people walking into someone coffee/sweets shop wet and dripping all over the floor. The poor owner had to rush up as I enter to warn me so I didn't slip. Then they had to put sign up and clean. That's hazardous (if someone slips the small business owner will be liable). If you enter someone's shop or cafe wet, and you can't be bothered drying off, you're a disrespectful and selfish imo. How hard is it to wear some thongs. Our roads are hot in summer anyways. Rant over 😂🙈
