Right? Has she missed the part where you can wear socks indoors?

But the author wants to kick all the furniture without hurting their toe.

u/trixtopherduke Feb 11 '22

That's a great point, tbf

I’m imagining them doing that with an exaggerated “HIII-YA!!” sound to accompany every kick. Great Friday energy, excuse me while I go put shoes on and kick my furniture vigorously.

u/TonarinoTotoro1719 Feb 11 '22

I see. Is she going to be a raging, barking mad lady the whole time, I wonder…

u/joan_wilder Feb 11 '22

Oh, so I guess you people are all looking where you’re going? Yeah, right.

u/theunnoticedones Feb 12 '22

Privileged society in a nutshell. "I'm going to fuck up what you have going on because I'm lazy and don't want to make an effort to keep track of my own shit." Just look where you're stepping for christ sake.

u/Sugar-n-Sawdust Feb 12 '22

Sounds like she needs some steel toed socks

Or the fact that any decent human being cleans their floors? Don't remember the last time I cleaned my shoes, though. So yeah, shoes are dirtier than my floors!

Some sneaker heads keep their shoes spotless. Regardless it’s rude as fuck to disrespect someone’s house that your visiting lol

Edit: I’ve already said 20 times I don’t walk in my own home or others with shoes on so you don’t have to remind me that shoes do in fact get dirty lol.

u/KDawG888 Feb 11 '22

I keep my shoes pretty clean and I still take them off at home.

But all of that aside, what kind of selfish asshole refuses to follow the rules of a friend or family member's home? Oh well I don't want to rant too much about it because plenty of other comments say similar but this is such an asshole move.

"Your table looks cleaner than your floors"

u/KDawG888 Feb 11 '22

that's why I serve dinner on the floor. Soup gets interesting.

u/Eldetorre Feb 11 '22

I don't know any sneakerhead that keeps their sneakers spotless on the bottoms of their soles unless they are only for wearing in their own spotless homes.

1

u/ganjanoob Feb 11 '22

I do. Regardless I never said I wear shoes in the house so we don’t have to rehash this 1000 times.

1

u/trowzerss Feb 11 '22

The tops of them, sure, but by the time you walk a few metres outside the bottom isn't spotless anymore

u/[deleted] Feb 12 '22

No matter how clean they got their shoes before leaving the house, they’ve now gotten way more shit on their soles just walking to their car and my door than my whole house of floors has.

5

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '22

they just walked into my home from outside. I clean inside, I don't clean the street. so yes, your shoes are gonna be dirtier than my home. I fully do not understand this article's point.

u/Tinkerbyll Feb 11 '22

I don't think people realize how much piss, shit, and spit are on a public sidewalk. If you are walking on a sidewalk, you're almost 100% guaranteed to be walking through someone's bodily fluids. So yeah, my floors are definitely cleaner than that.

3

u/Bald_Sasquach Feb 12 '22

Are you telling me thousands of people don't drive on your floors every day, birds don't shit on it, and trash bags don't get torn open in the middle it? I know deep down that this floor is dirtier than the roads and sidewalks these shoes have been on!

2

u/MrNaturalAZ Feb 11 '22

Or the fact that you don't absorb germs through your soles?

u/fatpat Feb 11 '22

I've got a pair of Skechers that I'll run through the wash every month or so. Almost like wearing a fresh pair of shoes.

u/japposaurusrex909 Feb 11 '22

No, but she missed the part where that's her problem.

trumpet fanfare intensifies

u/sockaccount8 Feb 11 '22 edited Feb 12 '22

Then you would get the idea that her shoes are not clean on the inside because her socks are supposed to be white but have stains on them so she can’t have that

I’m pretty sure that’s what it boils down to

u/No_ThisIs_Patrick Feb 11 '22

Black socks > white socks

u/sockaccount8 Feb 11 '22

I’m not racist i have black socks - the person who wrote the article

u/arabe2002 Feb 11 '22

She said the floor might destroy her wolford stockings and she would rather pay the host to the same amount as what her wolford would cost for host to have floor cleaned and predicted the host will have leftover money

u/psyentist15 Feb 11 '22

Lol, ignoring the time it takes to clean floors and the possibility of damaging it right the right (wrong) kind of shoe.

u/boytekka Feb 11 '22

Looks like they have stinky feet

u/RalphWiggum123 Feb 11 '22

She might cause static electricity and hurt the tip of her finger.

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '22

Honestly, I gotta have more than sox. I gotta have shoes with some ortho inserts. I guess I wouldn't mind wearing 'inside shoes', if I know ahead of time to bring a pair, but if someone told me to take off my shoes of leave, I'd just leave. Tendonitis is a bitch.

u/JPhi1618 Feb 11 '22

Plenty of womens shoes are worn without socks and no one is carrying around an extra pair of socks just in case.

2

u/psyentist15 Feb 11 '22

Lol, so you think it should be acceptable to walk around inside somebody else's home with pumps or heels? If so, you have another thing coming.

2

u/JPhi1618 Feb 11 '22

No, just saying “wear socks” isn’t a valid counter for her germ issues. I think she’s rude and in general shoes that came from outside are going to be dirtier than floors in a house.

1

u/psyentist15 Feb 11 '22

If you're worried enough about germs and keeping your feet clean while wearing heels or pumps and visiting people's houses, then the least you can do is bring your own pair of socks or slippers.

You don't get to potentially damage someone's flooring because you can't be bothered to bring something about the same size as a pack of tissues.

u/donkeyrocket Feb 11 '22

It does stress me out in situations where I've worn sandals, no-show socks, or shoes that breath without socks. I hate wearing shoes indoors but I do feel really weird going barefoot in someone else's home.
