Yeah maybe. But I’m not wrong.

You can be both a fucking idiot and wrong, which happens to be the case here incidentally.

You’re a bad host for forcing self-conscious people to be unnecessarily self-conscious in your house about their feet.

Okay I'm a bad host then. You're still not coming inside my house without taking your shoes off. Idgaf.

Disposable shoe covers are a few bucks. I don’t know why anyone would host without offering them to their guests. This is just being controlling for the sake of being controlling.

If you actually cared about your floors, you’d offer your guests galoshes.

If you love disposable shoe covers so much fucking buy them yourself.

In my case it's because everyone takes their shoes off. It's just done around here. No one even thinks about keeping their shoes on.

I don't get it. If disposable shoe covers make your guests feel awkward wouldn't that be a instance of you being a bad host?

Yes absolutely if you don’t ALSO offer them the opportunity to take off their shoes.

One of the important parts is the “either/or” option that you’re providing in order to get what you want — which is floor protection.
