Buy a bed, dummy.
Right?!!
I mean what the hell lady? First of all, who the fuck naps on a wood floor?!?
What, do you not own a bed? At the very least, you could hit the couch for a little shut-eye.
Seriously
I hope you are being sarcastic.
I hope they are, too. From the article:
- Korean Biz Wire pointed out, however, that people from cultures in which it’s commonplace to sit or nap on the floor - such as Japan and South Korea – may be more vulnerable to vacuum robot rage.
There is nothing wrong with sleeping on the floor. Provided, of course, one does not have a robotic vacuum that has not been shut off. But obviously, that is not something she would have been likely to learn as a child, given that such things did not exist then.
I suppose another cultural tidbit might be in order. In Japan (and probably Korea as well, though I am not certain of that), it is customary to take off one's shoes when one enters a house. So the floor of the house tends to be cleaner than in places where people track dirt all over the house from the outside due to not taking off their shoes. It is amazing how much difference there is on this. I have adopted this particular Japanese custom, and my floors stay much cleaner than they used to. If you don't like cleaning floors, and you also don't like living in filth, it is a very good way of living, provided everyone in the household removes their shoes at the door.
