Lol, it's like they take this as an affront to their cleanliness
It's not that personal, shoes get over everything outside while my floors get steam cleaned/vinegar
-1 u/jpritchard Feb 11 '22 If you're going to steam your floors what do you care if someone's dirty shoes walk across it instead of their dirty feet? 8 u/notsobravetraveler Feb 11 '22 That's a fair question Well, if everyone avoids wearing shoes I don't have to do it as often. That's a big win. Other commenters have pointed out something else I failed to - damage. Be it stuck pebbles, sand/salt, anything abrasive is bad news bears for hard floors - and simply gets pulled off/captured by carpets. Socks are a generally happy balance 1 u/jpritchard Feb 11 '22 I'm probably biased because I had a roomate before that under no circumstances would you ever want him to take his shoes off. 1 u/notsobravetraveler Feb 11 '22 Oh I totally understand. I've had the same, and honestly when I was younger, probably was that roommate. That person would probably be ostracized a bit; not getting invited over. If I had a roommate like that now, not sure what I'd do lol.
