who is really anal about people removing their shoes before letting people walk inside my house? Like shotgun pointed threat and all. (In my defense, A bulk of my house is carpeted. The carpet I have is basically of a light tan colour and thus it will basically become a magnet for spots and gunk if not maintained properly.) Nov 29 12 04:53 pm Link On maybe?

Model Posts: 6639 MacMurdo - permanent station of the US, Sector claimed by New Zealand, Antarctica I don't understand this. Aren't the oils in your skin probably worse for your carpet than a non-porous shoe sole? Nov 29 12 05:24 pm Link Better never have kids. Nov 29 12 05:24 pm Link Or pets. Nov 29 12 05:25 pm Link Or a party... Nov 29 12 05:25 pm Link Terry Gilliam makes movies about people like you. Evil's favorite minion, in Time Bandits, was wrapped in plastic so that it wouldn't get dirty. Bruce Willis' character, in 12 Monkeys, started out in a plastic bubble suit for the exact same reason.

HATE it. Nov 29 12 06:10 pm Link 1. my place is all hardwood floor. 2. it doesnt snow here, and its not muddy. so it doesnt matter. maybe if it rains and they don't dry their shoes on the mat then i'd ask them to take their shoes off. Nov 29 12 06:39 pm Link My parents never cared about such silliness. We had water fights IN the house. We also had pets with muddy feet. Life goes on. I hated going to my friend's houses that were so immaculate you were afraid to touch anything for fear of getting your cooties on it. I had one buddy who's parents wrapped the furniture. The furniture wasn't even that valuable. The house I currently live in has destroyed carpets. Not even steam cleaning helps anymore. I like it that way. Now, I don't have to worry about spilling red wine or tracking dirt. Nov 29 12 06:49 pm Link I despise it. I ask people to please take their shoes off. My roomate is just getting the hang of it. Kind of. His girlfriend........ not so much. I dont wanna be rude to his guests..... but mine KNOW Nov 29 12 06:53 pm Link Donnie Brasco WILL NOT TAKE OFF HIS SHOES!  If you ask him, he and his buddies will beat you down! Nov 29 12 06:56 pm Link I prefer shoes to be taken off after entering my house but won't pitch a hissy fit about it. I live with Tog. Shoes being left on is the LEAST of my worries.  Nov 29 12 08:26 pm Link Jackie A wrote: If I change accounts, I wonder if she'll still know who she lives with... Nov 29 12 08:32 pm Link I hate it too. It's much easier to track dog crap, rotten apples, puke, spit, pine needles and mud into a house when you leave your shoes on I have a hard time getting people to take off their damn shoes though. Nov 29 12 08:41 pm Link I'm the opposite. When I come in the house, I make sure to put on two pairs of shoes. Nov 29 12 10:26 pm Link My BF is the same way. He'll ask pretty much every one but movers to take their shoes off and the dog tracking in dirt just about kills him. We have a white (maybe off white) carpet. I grew up with all wood- much easier to clean!! Nov 30 12 03:55 am Link Tog wrote:
Nov 30 12 08:28 am Link In my culture, it's incredibly rude to wear shoes in someone's home. I don't do it. My boyfriend, with whom I live, doesn't see the issue of placing his dirty outdoor shoes on the bed where I sleep naked. It's an issue of cleanliness. There's a lot more dirt around now that more of it is coming in from the outside. Ugh. And of course, I'm the one who does all the sweeping and mopping.

Nov 30 12 01:48 pm Link No. You're not the only one. I can dare say that the *huge* majority of Asians who are living in western cities also don't allow shoes to be worn in houses. Any guests I receive to my home are politely asked to remove their shoes. Because of the hardwood flooring, I provide CROCS to be worn inside. Disregarding the CROC's look, they truly offer great support for your feet. Umair Riaz wrote: Nov 30 12 02:08 pm Link I have black carpeting, it's pretty amazing. Nov 30 12 03:13 pm Link I always take my shoes off in my and other people's homes, and I know quite a few people who are the same way. I even keep sandals outside our porch for when I take the dog's out, and I keep a pair of "house only" running shoes for when I do exercise videos. Nov 30 12 05:17 pm Link I often feel weird when visiting other people's homes, especially for the first time I feel inclined to remove my shoes when entering someone else's home. But what if they wear shoes in the house? Then is it really weird? Like I'm making myself too comfortable?

I told her I just follow what everyone else does when they go in, and everyone else has always taken their shoes off. Nov 30 12 09:29 pm Link I always take my shoes off when I come into my own house, except when I have to pee so bad that I just cannot hold it any longer. As for other people's house's I always take my shoes off unless they tell me not too. Nov 30 12 09:56 pm Link Shoes come off in this house. Seems it's not unusual around this area, I don't ever recall having to ask someone to take their shoes off since they see the shoes at the door and usually say "do you want my shoes off?" as they are taking them off.

Shoes off is the norm Dec 01 12 07:56 am Link Dec 01 12 09:50 am Link I wear my shoes in the house if I am going in and out- like bringing in the groceries. Other than that my shoes are always by the front door. My family is another story! I yell at them to take them off ALL THE TIME!! We have 4 dogs so they are always running in the door with wet/dirty feet. Thankfully they come in where we have tile, so we can wipe them off. But it doesn't really matter, they bring dirt in anyway! Thankfully we have really dark carpet that vacuums well. Dec 01 12 05:24 pm Link Sicari wrote: OMG Mike! I got a visual!
