Come into my house with shoes on and you’ll be lucky to leave alive

what kind of monster wears shoes in the house
I’m in the US and shoes off inside.
Heres the thing tho, do slippers count as shoes?
I have no idea why anyone would want to wear shoes in the house.
It’s so constricting and unnecessary. Do y’all not clean your floors? Do you feel like your floors are gross and shouldn’t be touching your bare feet?
When you lay on the couch do you need to take your shoes off and then put them back on when you get up to go make a snack in the kitchen?
Makes zero sense to me
My friend told me he felt the same way about jeans which is why he wears sweatpants everywhere. I didn’t understand it with those and I don’t get it with shoes. Both are super comfortable to me. Only times I’m not comfortable in shoes is when I’m forced to wear anything besides tennis shoes (mainly work boots and dress shoes).
Actually I absolutely agree with your friend and I don’t even stop at jeans.
If I get home after work and I have zero plans to leave the house again or have anyone over I am in my Pajamas as soon as I can get my pants off, even if it’s only 5pm lol
That’s not me. It’s not uncommon for me to sleep in my regular clothes as soon as I get home cause I’m too exhausted to bother changing. My pajamas only see use early in the morning unless I’m jumping immediately into the shower after waking up (which is usually what I do on weekdays).
What if you have to quickly go inside and grab something? Do you take your shoes off for that or just walk inside?
Shoes are ok inside they’re not mandatory
Moved to a shoes off country over a decade ago.
That’s EXACTLY what I do.
Laced shoes are a pita to flip on and off. If you’re in a dry area there’s no reason to take off your shoes.
If you can wear sandals, or it’s a wet sloppy environment, then yeah it makes sense to take them off at the door.
I mean, if you’re doing yard work or something understandable to leave your shoes on in your own home if you’re coming inside for a snack or to grab something etc I do that all the time.
But like, if I invite someone over to hang out for a few hours I expect them to take their shoes off tying the laces isn’t that complicated.
And if I am taking the day off and don’t really need to leave the house for any reason I won’t even touch my shoes I’m going to be barefoot or in slippers all God damn day.
?! You wear your yard work shoes in the house? Those usually come off before I go inside even if it is a quick grab n go.
Only if it’s a quick trip <3 minutes after using a boot scraper and brush. Unless I know I’ve stepped in something particularly sticky like mud.
I got in and out of my house about 50 times per day, and my feet are size 13.5s, so all my shoes are tight (they don’t make most shoes in anything larger than 13s). Plus my back isn’t what it once was. If I had to bend over and take my shoes off 50 times a day, I’d actually lose it, “it” being my L3-4 disc.
Whereas, litereally nothing bad has ever happened to me because I wear shoes in the house. It’s all some hypothetical … I don’t know what exactly. Grossness? Is grossness hurting me?
Tell you what’s ‘gross,’ as a thought exercise tho - walking around barefooted where my dogs and cats walk barefooted, they’re not exactly wearing shoes outside, or in the litterbox, nor are they putting a handkerchief down under their assholes when they sit down.
But a pair of flip-flops for in the house plus floor cleaning regularly… I don’t really worry about it either way. IDK why anyone does.
You need a cobbler, then.
Pakistan as shoes on? That seems wrong.
House slippers that are never out stomping turds and spit? Nope. All good.
This chart is a hate crime against colorblind people.
Hawaii?
Shoes on the main floor are ok but not upstairs
How the hell did Canada become a shoes off country when it’s not only surrounded by shoes on but also both of its major contributing cultural influences (UK and France) are supposedly shoes on?
Our outdoors can be very mucky and wet and very dry and dusty depending in the season. Polite northern folk are clean, and we like to keep our hosts houses clean too. Shoes on is considered quite rude. During the summer we allow for short walk throughs with dry shoes on, but you ask first if its ok. House slippers are common but not everyone wears them, up here it’s a “socks or slippers” debate.
This is exactly it. I’m mostly in the sock camp, and only wear slippers at my computer in the basement.
Bare feet is somehow almost as bad as shoes, the only caveat is if you show up in sandals
the snow?
Quite possible
I grew up in the very tiny area of Canada which doesn’t get get snow so that actually didn’t even trigger in my mind lol
Sandals when I’m inside. On rare occasions I’ll wear socks and house shoes, but that’s usually when I’m cleaning floors or something wet.
I could get behind sandals. I had back issues for years and sometimes the only thing that helped when I was in the kitchen were slippers with a good rubber sole. Even then it kind of felt like kissing your sister - kinda good, but the good didn’t out weigh the moral shame
Do shoes on people immediately put on shoes as soon as they wake up or something? I don’t even put on socks!
Rookie mistake. You sleep with your shoes on.
Somebody ban this guy
Pro-tip. Sleep with nothing on!
I put them on when I’m leaving, generally
Shoes on in the house is gross. So is bare feet. Wear socks or slippers.
A man of culture
Walk around barefoot outside - nothing left to discuss.
Sometimes my feet can be really smelly. I hate it when I go to someone’s house where they expect me to pull my shoes off. Yes, odor eater powder helps, but I never know if removing my shoes is going to knock them out. Especially in the summer. It is better to just never go to other people’s houses.
It is better to have a few pairs so you can let one air out between uses. Better for the nose and feet, that is.
Only barbarians wear shoes in their own homes.
Shit, even wearing shoes in an office job can be kinda sus.
edit: DOWNVOTE ME HARDER YOU FILTHY BARBARIAN HORDE, you know in your heart of hearts that I’m right
shoes off in the office??
Oh yeah, I’ve worked in a bunch of offices where the policy was to leave shoes at the door, or to change into office slippers etc. It’s not all that uncommon in Helsinki; keeps the office clean in the months when the streets are full of slush and grime
Sounds comfy…
Back when I went to an office every day, I usually wore loafers. Easy to slip off and on under your desk without drawing lots of attention.
I would never make such a demand of a guest in my home. They are my guest and I will feed them and clean up after.
Don’t need a doormat when you are one I guess
I once had dedicated office slippers under my desk
Ain’t no way I’m taking my shoes off in the office unless I know for a fact that the floor is clean AF.
That’d be the point, yeah
I work in a cubical, and I take my shoes off before putting my feet under the desk. If it was more accepted I’d take them off outside my cube, but, I live in a country that likes shoes on.
SAME HERE
I often take my shoes off as soon as I can be where nobody will notice them. Under my desk is a no shoes zone.
Same. I have this gymba board in my office and it doesn’t even work with shoes on.
Nubby balance board for anyone else who was curious
That link shows them using it with shoes on for what it’s worth.
See, you get it
The IT guys putting you pc equipment together hate you.
Worst desks I crawled under were for people who would wear their winter boots. Desks where people change into seperate shoes just in socks or slippers were much preferred.
