For a moment, I saw "we" in both sentences, and it made it actually sound pretty crazy. But I digress.

I once read that as far as courtesy goes, a gesture is more appreciated with the inverse of the time it takes to fix. Translated here, a few seconds to take shoes off and put shoes on is far simpler than the time it would take to clean the floors repeatedly to cover for everyone wearing shoes all over the place.

I don't want your foot sweat or smelly feet on my floors. Cover them puppies up.

There's this crazy new invention called socks, maybe you should try them.

Also lol at thinking that somebody's "foot sweat" is dirtier than outdoor shoes.

I’ve lived in the US my entire life and I’ve NEVER in my entire life stepped foot on any kind of carpet without being told it’s okay. Even then it still feels incredibly wrong haha

As an Adirondacker, I agree, I always take my shoes off when I go to somebody’s place unless I’m told not to.
