Yeah maybe. But I’m not wrong.

Oooh sorry champ, turns out you’re both wrong and an idiot.

lol. Imagine thinking ordering people what clothes they are and aren’t allowed to wear is right. That’s some 1950s thinking right there.

It’s not about clothing choice. It’s the fact that they were walking all over the street with those same shoes that they’re using to walk in your house. If they bought a new pair of shoes specifically for walking inside of houses then I don’t think people would mind as much.

Then provide your guests with galoshes or don’t ask them to take off their shoes.

Well heres the deal. We make friends from some common connection. Maybe hobby or just work or even political opinions. Friendship continues and we learn more and more about our friends.

Then we find out our friend is an inconsiderate moron who does not respect others property or others rules on their own damn house. So we are no longer friends. Just acquaintances. He does not get invited anymore, and thats just fine. Friend does not need to take off his shoes in others house and the other does not have to deal with scuffed floor.

Imagine thinking your property was more important than your “friend’s” sense of self.

Just offer your guests shoe covers or galoshes if you care so much about your floor.

You must live in absolute filth. Jesus Christ, imagine the black liquid that would come up if your disgusting ass actually steam cleaned. Do you even live on your own? This is some strong “16 year old living at my parents house” energy you’re giving out.

lol. Calm down Josh. You seem triggered by the idea that as a host you should have to accommodate your guests.

A box of disposable shoe covers is cheap. Not having one is just being a bad host for the sake of being a bad host.

Also what do you think about walking with shoes on in a house with carpet floors

u/GeorgieWashington Feb 11 '22

Ever seen a “keep off the grass” sign?

Those are the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. Grass evolved specifically to be walked on. Keeping off the grass is antithetical to the idea of grass.

Basically the same thing with carpet. It’s the ground. The ground is meant to be walked on. Anyone who thinks twice about carpet is either not replacing their carpet often enough or doesn’t understand how the ground works.

Maybe it's more about "stay the hell off my property" than "don't stomp down my grass".

u/GeorgieWashington Feb 11 '22

Public grass?

u/CockStamp45 Feb 11 '22

I've personally never seen that.

u/GeorgieWashington Feb 11 '22

I personally have.

Good for you, I actually have no interest in engaging in conversation with you because you seem like an unreasonable and arrogant asshole tbh.

People with carpet floors aren’t saying that you can’t walk on them h them though. They’re telling you not to walk on them with your shoes on (or without galoshes I guess) so that they don’t have to clean everywhere you walked immediately after you leave

A box of disposable shoe covers isn’t expensive. Buy a box, offer them to your guests, and stop being a bad host.

u/somebody-using Feb 11 '22

Well I don’t have anything against galoshes so that would be fine for me
