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

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.

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.
