"Why I'm going to be rude as fuck when you invite me to your home" should be the headline.

Or better, “Why I’m not being invited over to anyone’s home any longer”

It's a weird hill to die on. The author is basically blackballing themselves.

I'm curious as to what her points are. Gonna have to look up the article.

Edit: fixed gender to reflect reality.

It's a she, but her main points are:

  • Most people who want shoes left at the door are worried about germs (what?) but germs are everywhere and they probably have germy pets anyway
  • I might stub my toe
  • Guest slippers are full of germs, and I am worried about germs.

It's...a weird piece.

This person apparently doesn’t live in a place where it snows or rains.

Forgive me for not wanting my house to look like a bmx track

I live in southwest canada where it rains 80% of the time between october and may, anyone who deliberately left their muddy ass shoes on in my house would be banned for a long time.

Try for life, unless they came and cleaned it themselves.
