re: People Who Insist You Remove Your Shoes When Entering Their Residence

Went a neighbor's house for a dinner party a few weeks ago, the wife is Korean and she prepared a big Korean feast, we were made aware in advance to wear socks without holes and she would like us to remove our shoes.
Now normally when we go to their house the don't ask but since she was having a Korean dinner she did, I have no problem with it.

I go to many peoples houses for claims and always ask them if I see if they are not wearing shoes if I should take mine off.

The reasoning behind it makes sense

and then they leave them right in front of the door or simply sling them off to go everywhere

Uh, yes they do. I don’t know what kind of unkempt commoners you associate with. No one walks through another person’s apartment wearing shoes. If you want to keep your shoes on, you wait by the door.

I live in Manhattan and have never been asked or seen someone remove their shoes when entering and apartment. It was far more common in Louisiana

And “commoners”

I’m just messing with you.

As a Southerner that moved to Manhattan, the no shoes in the apartment was a cultural change I had to get used to. I was never asked to remove my shoes; it was more of observation. At first I thought it was a Jewish thing, but that wasn’t the case over time. That’s interesting that you don’t have the same experience as it was 100% the case whenever I went into someone’s apartment.

old lady's Asian, a lot of times I insist she keep her shoes on

My best friend's parents do this and they live in Pennsylvania. So basically, you come in from the freezing cold and have to unlace your boots just to walk inside. fricking retarded.

asian culture you racis?

I've never encountered that.

Mostly poors. This is a telltale sign they are a poor.

From what I’ve seen the “no shoes in the house” poors usually live right down the street from the “pretend to own a plane” poors.

Take your dirty fricking shoes off..
