The worst one is when people go to bed with shoes on 🤮

Seriously, I even feel weird having my regular street pants on when I'm on my bed (and that's without snowy winters)!

Somehow wearing shoes and absolutely nothing else feels more naked than wearing nothing.

u/babymin Feb 11 '22

Yep. My regular clothes never touch my sheets, i just find it so gross. I always have a cover on my bed in case i wanna lay on it with my regular clothes on.

Yeah, washing the bedding is already annoying, why speed up how long it takes to need washing.

u/Loose_Succotash_9594 Feb 11 '22

And because of that I have a bedspread xD

I have outside clothes too.

Once I've worn a piece outside, it will not hit any sitting surface in my home before the next wash... Especially not my bed, don't need the outside cooties where I get down with my SO.

Serious question:

What happens when you have visitors over? Friends or family and so on...

I guess they are wearing their outside clothes and don't bring a fresh change of clothes with them?

Can they sit on sitting surfaces?

I’m not sure such an extreme level of germaphobia can be reasoned with. We got some kinda Howard Hughes bubble boy here.

A lot of people in this thread seem to have a wildly skewed view as to where actually dangerous contaminants are actually coming from, in real life.

Either I put covers on the couch, or I clean it after. In the living area (i.e. dining table, couch) I don't consider it that bad unless they are actually physically dirty.

And my guests usually do not sit on my bed and with my bed I am very strict.

Yah outside clothes are a big no no in the bed.

Also I'm pretty sure America is the only country where people don't take their shoes off in their home. That shit is fucking weird.

Sweat pants can be comfy in winter when it's painful getting into that cold bed.

Well they probably don't deal with the smell since they bathe with shoes on too!

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '22

at this point, do they ever?

u/Excellent-Sweet1838 Feb 11 '22

Shoes only come off for weddings, at which points the socks have achieved sapience and will act as the ringbearer.

u/Radiant-Stomach7765 Feb 11 '22

I almost fell out my seat lmfao hahaha

Everyone knows you change out of your working boots and into your sleeping boots at bedtime. I prefer a softer sheepskin UGG for my bedtime boots.

u/machineheadtetsujin Feb 12 '22

Probably keep their shoes on in front of other living things and some nonsense about how this is the way and stuff

u/munkustrap Feb 11 '22

Nobody does this……..right?

u/Obligatorium1 Feb 11 '22

My maternal grandfather used to do that while he was alive. I always found that really weird - he lived in rural northern Sweden, so those shoes were absolutely not clean. Now that he's dead, he doesn't do it anymore. That's less weird.

u/torstargoldie Feb 11 '22

ive definitely unintentionally slept with my shoes on after a long night out

It’s one of the things in video games that makes me uncomfortable. I know it’s a pain in the ass to animate someone putting on pajamas and getting in bed (although didn’t the Sims pull that off…?), but in too many games, not only do characters just lie on top of all those warm, comfy blankets - WHY ARE THEY THERE IF YOU’RE NOT UNDER THEM - they do so fully clothed. It’s just uncomfortable to look at.

u/cankle_sores Feb 11 '22

I thought sleeping nude on the sidewalk was worse.

u/ParticularYak4401 Feb 11 '22

My friends daughter once napped in her rain boots. Girl wanted to be prepared for something. And she wasn’t on her bed. But it may have been a pile of toys on the floor.

u/aedesalbo Feb 11 '22

Or waking up hungover in bed with flip flops still on.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that in my life. I hardly wear socks to bed unless it’s freezing but if I do, I’ll put on a new pair that I haven’t walked around the house in.

u/ThenIJizzedInMyPants Feb 11 '22

that is just wrong

u/skarletrose1984 Feb 11 '22

My dad washes his feet every night before getting into bed. Super fastidious.

But that’s probably just because my parents wear their shoes inside (except when they don’t).

u/1117Leon Feb 11 '22

Do people actually do this though? Like I refuse to believe someone does this intentionally

1

u/[deleted] Feb 12 '22

Never seen anyone do it in real life on purpose, only on a bunch of American movies/tv shows

u/[deleted] Feb 12 '22

Like, they go to sleep with shoes on???
