i dont think its strange. I dont require it, but people are more than allowed to. I think it shows that i want you to be comfortable while you visit. Now if its a work person like a cable guy and they do it, i'll probably raise an eyebrow

ran into this all the time fixing HVAC

i tell them straight up, im not walking in the attic in my socks so you deal with me wearing shoes or call someone else to fix it

had a boss tell me i needed to take off my shoes if they wanted one time and then i asked him if he would walk in an attic and then work all day with socks full of insulation? he thought about it and changed his official company policy to we only remove shoes if we dont have to go in the attic

Imagine walking through your house with the same shoes you walk through public restrooms in.



do you generally walk straight from a public restroom into your house?

because I don't


I'm neutral on all this, but this reasoning is flawed . Are you saying because the piss/shite/vomit had time to dry in between that it's not disgusting anymore? Did it get wiped off by the dirt/grease/trash you walked through on the street between the restroom and the house? I'm not crazy about people's shoes, but I'm pretty sure the bottoms are still a cesspool even if you wiped it on a mat before between the gas station bathroom and your house.

I am, however, a nazi about people stepping on my infants' playmat with their shoes. Their teething toys lay on it and occasionally their mouths touch it directly, so I can't have people's disgusting shoes all over it.

I've also had brand new carpets installed in a guest bedroom before selling a house and had to ask my dad to please not walk through it after he just came in from a rain storm before. Some situations it just seems like it's common sense to take your shoes off first. Other than that, I don't care.

Sorry you don't give a shite about the doublewide's floor. If you sit back and think how dirty shoes are, you'd remove them with the quickness.

It is considered the height of bad form while in Germany. Most have house slippers just for guests at the door though. We brought our own to change into the last time we were there.

I have some unfortunate news for you if you’d rather than nasty street shoes which travel urine etc everywhere over socked feet.

I won't do it, unless they have some sort of slip ons i can put on. Not going socks only onto their carpet and floors. WHo knows how dirty that shite is.


I knew a kid, his mom was lazy as frick to do anything around the house, but be hot and get fricked good by his pop, while spending his hard earned cash, and made everyone only walk a certain path into and around the house. And you couldn't even walk into several rooms.
It was like a 1 foot path you could walk, your foot marks go outside, the kid would quickly try to make them disappear.

She wanted to make sure if she did have to vacuum, it was that little path people walked thru to get to the upstairs. She was hot as hell, had fake boobs, great tanned body, so pops let it go, i would of also.

I didn’t read all five pages but this is a shite take. I live in the SF Bay Area where every home you visit is $1million+ and this taking off the shoes is super common. My house has bamboo floors and I don’t want people scratching that shite up with little pebbles stuck in their shoes.

I don't remove them in my house, but I do in someone else's house if they ask me to. What always cracks me up are people who have pets and insist on no shoes in the house. Meanwhile their dog tracks in dirt from outside and their cat is prancing around on their counter tops after it just buried nugs in the litter box. I think it's just a power trip for some people.

Are just as bad as people who don't remove their shoes when coming into a house. Unless the homeowner says you don't have too, remove your shoes.



To be fair, this is entirely a regional thing. The default here is to keep them on, although I'd never be insulted by being asked to take them off.

I know a dude...a friend...and he is a germaphobe and will ask you to take off your shoes in freezing weather. He probably means well, but it comes off as weird and disingenuous nonsense. It almost screams "I hate people" which I sort of get.

Mostly because ppl don’t want the shite and piss you walk through throughout the day tracked into their house. I.E because they’re not disgusting trash.
