          They aren’t just boot scrapers though if you hook the heel under the bar and pull they aid you taking them off.

          Wow! You’ve never seen a boot scraper before? Would it also blow your mind to know they exist all over the UK too? Sweet Jesus.

          Most of us in the States have never seen them before. I found this tweet to be very enlightening. No need to be so snarky.
