Tonight I watched 'Kill Bill: Volume 1' for the first time in maybe half a year. Something I noticed that annoyed me was that when Uma Thurman goes to whats-her-name's house in the beginning to kill her, she (Vernita Green?) is wearing tennis shoes while indoors/at home. This is noticeable once the glass table shatters and all the shit is on the floor and they walk across it numerous times.

Obviously Uma would be wearing shoes, but I think it's safe to assume Vernita had been home for a while for a few reasons:

A) She was expecting someone named 'Sarah' when it was in fact The Bride at the door.
B) She's now married to a Doctor and it seems like she would be the stay-at-home type.
C) There's no mention of her having a new job or anything to do during the day.
D) She was probably waiting for her daughter to come home.

With that in mind, why the hell was she wearing tennis shoes inside? No one does that, especially when there's an abundance of carpet in your house. Slippers, maybe, but tennis shoes? Come on.

It's small details like these that are usually undetected cop-outs in Tarantino movies. He omits the reality of a small detail (the shoes) in order to play up a different small detail (the shattered glass on the floor). I'm definitely nitpicking here, but things like this get to me after a while, and are one of the reasons why I think Tarantino's writing will always be his stronger characteristic (moreso than directing).
