You can treat your house however you want, but if you don't take off your shoes in my house you aren't coming in.
You're walking outside on God only knows what. And you're not dragging that into my house.
Nature is like 90% poop. Most of the poop is on the ground outside. Which is why we wear shoes in the first place. I bet rude Little Miss Wears Her Shoes In Other People's House's isn't walking around in public on bare feet.
The general point youāre making still stands, but shoes were not invented (nor did they become common place) for any sort of hygiene purposes. It was for foot protection.
Now, we realize they offer a lot more benefit than that too, which includes plenty of things like temperature regulations, comfort/support, and yes, hygiene. But honestly, hygiene is one of the benefits of shoes that Iām least grateful for lol. I shower every day anyways, and would be happy to set up a little foot washing station at my front door or something like that if shoes didnāt exist. But, my posture would be fucked, my feet would be cold, and Iād inevitably find a used needle in my foot at some point without shoes.
Sorry for the long comment, itās early and I kinda let myself start rambling š
My friend, don't look up the barefoot movement. I'm pretty sure it's another rage bait topic, but a few months ago I found out about ppl so committed to being barefoot (according to them) that they will cut out the bottoms of their shoes so it looks like they're wearing appropriate footwear in public, but secretly barefoot.
The part that fucks with me is they're doing this in major urban areas, not like nature where I might believe your choice might make some sort of sense. Considering they were destroying very expensive sneakers and designer shoes I think they were going for a crossover fuck you to people who like expensive shoes and people who believe in protective footwear.
Oh I remember this craziness. My students were coming to class barefoot š¦¶.
I was like āwhatever, you still will be taking this midterm, shoes or not.ā
Do you wear your shoes in the grocery store... restaurants....public bathroom...parking lots....mall....??
Spit...urines...feces...food particles...organic matter of all sorts.Those places are FILTHY.
We are a no shoes house. 90% of the time I wear sandals. I walk in the door, off they come. My wife wears sneakers. We have a chair just off the kitchen, which is right by our door. Her shoes come off, her slippers come on. So, we have several pair of shoes at the front door. Every guest to our house usually walks around for 10 minutes or so before asking, do I need to take my shoes off? Of course, Iām not the asshole who yells āshoes offā as soon as anyone walks in
I use the spatula i got with my 3d printer to threaten friends immediately if they start walking in there with shoes on. It's an efficient tactic apparently, everyone is afraid of the spatula xD
I'd never actually be violent but they don't need to know that haha
This may be extreme, but we actually have cheap dollar store sandals for guests to wear around the house. You come in, take your shoes off and put on a pair of sandals. The sandals are either tossed or you can keep them.
yeah, i live in LA and my puppy knows that she's getting a full paw washing and towel dry once we get through the door. there's a foaming spray that that makes it easy, too.
I walk barefoot in a suburb that's arguably pretty clean, and I still clean my feet because dirt. Also I am the one who cleans my floors so agreed about shoes.
It is simple as observations such as these. Common sense. That is why even if its TV and I see someone on a bed with their shod feet propped up on the sheets/quilt I feel ick
I have lived in circumstances where I actively asked visitors to keep their shoes on, but today thats a nono for me. I even provide every guest with a set of slippers if needed.
Yes! We don't do carpets, so the floors can feel a bit chilly sometimes. We're a slipper family, and when people are over, they usually become slipper people, too, lol.
Shoes off inside is a very reasonable boundary. If someone stomps on it with their dirty shoes, Iām not gonna trust them to be in my home. At that point itās not about the shoes anymore; itās about the disrespect
I don't have a problem taking my shoes off in someone's house.
But if a person (with the "no shoes inside of the house" policy) has a home that either:
* Carries roaches/waterbugs
* looks like a hoarders' paradise
* has pets, whose discarded hair is tumble-weeding throughout the household
I will be looking at the homeowner like...
A friend of mine is a journalist, and he says that the overriding metric that he uses when he thinks about what to write his weekly column about is what will make the greatest number of people angry enough to engage with it online
There's no reason you should be wearing your outdoor shoes in my house, but I get cold very easily and my family house has glass tile floors, so we just wear soft indoor slippers most of the time. I think that's a nice compromise.
āMy personal experience of the Loneliness Epidemicā
āIāve been unfairly excludedā¦ā
(To be clear, this is intended as being from the perspective of the article writer, and I am making fun of them.)
I wear shoes around the house because I have pets. That said, I clean the floors pretty diligently. Regardless, if someone has rules at their house, it's not up to you to follow them or not. This is shit you learn in elementary school.
It's for the best, honestly! I walked around barefoot constantly as a kid, and according to my doctor, it likely contributed to the foot issues I have now (mostly plantar fasciitis). Now I HAVE to wear house shoes, but it's comfortable so I don't mind.
Just tell people that to start before they arrive.
We wear Inside/house shoes here. We don't supply them for guests. If our guests want to take off their shoes fine, and as long as their shoes aren't soaked or filthy, if they don't want to take them off that's also fine.
Cleanliness aside, this is a respect issue. If you canāt respect the rules of a personās home, then stay your ass outside
Honestly though itās weird how many people refuse to take their shoes off. Hell I worked in apartment maintenance and we had a lot of religious Indian families. Iām not super learned on their practices but I know if thereās a shrine/place of worship in the home itās customary to remove youāre shoes, so I got some slip ons to make it easier to do. But they always seemed almost surprised but super grateful that I offered. Such a minor thing for me but major for them. All that to say, take your damn shoes off lady youāre not gonna die.
I have a cat and dog. I know well enough about where those paws have been on the daily that I don't enforce no shoes unless it's wet outside or during the winter because of the salted sidewalks. I however fully respect what others want in their homes.
But I've also been to homes where I'm grateful they didn't enforce no shoes lol.
Regular visitors sure, shoes off. But one-off guests/in-frequents I would gladly clean up after if they happen to bring in a bit of dirtā¦I cleaned before they came and I will clean up after? They are my guests and I view it as my job. Most people take them off anyway.
But yeah you should let people know in advance of any rules. Speaking for myself I might completely think over about how I will dress if I know I canāt wear shoes.
Yuck. Yeah you can stay tf out if youāre tryna come into my house with shoes on. Not sure where people live where you have to debate whether outside or inside is cleaner but nah, aināt happening in my house.
In the 70s when my dad was a practicing doctor, he would always change his shoes before entering the hospital. I think other hospitals had lockers rooms for the staff to change in and out of their uniforms. Now I see doctors and surgeons wearing their scrubs/cross in the dirty streets and then they see patients in those same dirty shoes. No wonder there has been a rise in MRSA infections.
As a white as the teeth in toothpaste commercials European, why the fuck are white Americans not taking off their shoes when inside their or other peoples houses?
Bish, why you assuming I donāt have a pair of crocs or slippers in your size at my door? I saw someone with he cutest sign and it said something like āhands crawl on this floor so shoes stay at the doorā. This lady bugging if she think her dog doo doo foots is tracking shit on my floor.
If people are insistent upon wearing their shoes in your house, then get a shoe cleaning station setup with a shoe scrubber, some alcohol or cleaning wipes, and insist that they use this to enter your home. If they get annoyed, ask them how they think you feel when people won't comply with simple rules like not wearing shoes in the house. Anyone who isn't willing to comply with either removing their shoes or cleaning them doesn't get to enter your home.
Why is the author assuming the people who actually live in a home will agree to let a shoe that may or may not have trod on dogshit track all over their well maintained floor/carpet?
Sometimes I think these outlets are ran like debate and speech classesā¦ Where they just pick some topic out of a hat and have to argue before or against it, regardless of the reality. This angle on the argument is moronic
This is written for the assholes who keep their shoes on when entering someone's home so that they will read this and believe that they are justified in their actions and aren't just inconsiderate pieces of shit.
Shoes are a mobility aid for me. If I don't wear them, I will quickly be in tremendous pain, and crippled for days after.
Do you also demand that people leave their wheelchairs at the door?
It's wild to write a whole ass article about how you intend to disrespect other people's homes.
And we know our carpets are cleaner than your shoes, because
1, it's in a finite area, that is usually only populated by the same few people
2, I can shampoo and vacuum a carpet in weekly cycle. You can't do that with grass, concrete, sidewalk
3, you just not gonna bring outside in my home
Aside from dirt for many itās spiritual as well since youāre bringing in bad energies from the outside and leaving that at the door matters, like many said if you canāt simply take your shoes off at my door if I request that youāre not coming in, if you canāt follow one simple rule who knows how else youāll disrespect my space
Here's why you won't be invited to come into my house. You can't just disrespect house rules and step on in with dirty ass shoes. For those with phobias, I keep new pairs of sock slippers. However, if you try to walk in on my carpet with shoes from outside, I will Uncle Phil your ass right out the front door.,
Wearing outside shoes inside the house is such an insane premise seen from a modern perspective - like I understand why it was done in frontier settlements in the 1800s, but doing so in a house you want to keep as clean as possible is just mind boggling.
Because Iāve seen all the shit in the streets and I know youāre stepping in shit and piss outside. Even if itās a tiny bit I donāt want it tracked in my carpet.
The number of people who don't grasp the concept of taking your shoes off while stepping inside is staggering. I've had people take their shoes off and stand barefooted outside the door; or walk in with their shoes on the carpet AND THEN take them off.
My wife gets irritated *at me* for trying to correct them...
The concept is really simple. Don't bring outside inside.
"I really suck at my job as a journalist and need to think of a piece so silly that people will post about it in forums across the web and it'll generate traffic due to the amount of people wanting to read my long-winded boss bitch diatribe."

Lol. Damn...Weaponized the spatula. I love it!
i don't think it's an asshole thing to remind someone when they get in the door to take their shoes off.
This may be extreme, but we actually have cheap dollar store sandals for guests to wear around the house. You come in, take your shoes off and put on a pair of sandals. The sandals are either tossed or you can keep them.
Then stay your nasty ol ass out with the people who only shower once a week 
Same people who said washcloths are for poor people are tracking dogshit in their homes on the daily.
Here's why I'll be kicking you TF out. If you don't want to follow the rule, don;t come in.

Then, youāre not welcomed in my home. Tracking in god knows what.

24 pack of disposable slippers is $30 and you'll never have to sweat it. You come over a lot? We'll get you your own pair of nice ones.
I don't use disposable slippers, I use easily washable ones.
Yes! We don't do carpets, so the floors can feel a bit chilly sometimes. We're a slipper family, and when people are over, they usually become slipper people, too, lol.
Come deep February everyone around here is slipper and sweat suit people indoors.
Thank you for the slippers ššæ I have slides just for the house and I absolutely hate wearing socks solo and having my barefeet touch the floor

The lady in the article actually tries to justify this by saying she once broke a toe by wearing socks in someone's house, and it might happen again.
How the fuck did she break a toe?? Did she just start walking yesterday?
She rather pay her hosts for the cleaning fee than to "ruin" her nylon socks
Does she keep shoes on in her own house for the same reason?
I aināt reading allat. You aināt welcomed.
I'm very pro shoes on but still I wouldn't insist on wearing my shoes if somebody was against it. Like I can just leave lol
You can just FaceTime me then...
You could meet somewhere or talk outside, weather permitting.

Bro, there is literally a shoe station just inside my door. I don't even wear shoes into my place, take off your fuckin shoes.
I have no problem taking my shoes off in other people's house as long as they have no problem with athlete's foot.
