When I was a kid I thought the 'customs' at the airport was for stuff like this- you have to go to customs first so you know whether it's the ground floor or floor zero, whether you take your shoes off in people's homes, why kind of cutlery you'll be using during your visit
Also this thread has made the word 'floor' no longer look like a real word
Holy crap would that be useful. Once I walked past a bookstore and I thought I saw a book called "How People Live" and spent 10 minutes trying to find it before giving up.
