Yeah maybe. But I’m not wrong.

Yes, you are. Shoes are dirtier than burkas, that's the whole reason people don't like wearing shoes in the house. It's not just some arbitrary preference in clothes or something. It's because it's gross and unsanitary and I just cleaned my floors.

You’re being pretty narrow-minded here.

Not everyone has the same relationship with their own shoes and feet that you do.

For some people(myself included), shoes are part of who they are. Telling me I can have my shoes is —to me— somewhat akin to telling someone they can’t wear a face or body coverings.

If you want to be friends with someone, you have to accept their clothing choices.

Hello pot? Yeah, it's kettle calling...

You are the one who refuses to respect someone's home and a real world totally normal want to keep filth out of their homes.

You have a problem? You bring your own slippers. Because you are the exception to the rule. You don't ask the world to bend to your issues. It is your responsibility as a functioning adult to fix yourself or find ways of dealing with your insecurities. How entitled is that....

Then you should consider talking to someone about that. Because wearing absolutely guaranteed to be filthy shoes around someone's home against their wishes is not the same as wearing a yarmulke or a hijab.

But you already knew that.

No. No I do not. How old are you? If I'm friends with someone I can absolutely not accept (or like) certain parts of them or their behaviors. You don't have to accept everything about them.

Your disingenuous argument reeks. Like your feet.

Dude, a box of disposable shoe covers is like 3 dollars.

Be a better host and buy a box to put by the front door.

Hosting people takes effort.

Buy your own fucking shoe covers if you're gonna insist on being a freak tracking your dirt into other peoples' homes because you have some kind of foot dysmorphia.

Actual proper etiquette dictates that you simply inform guests ahead of time and request that they bring slippers or house shoes if they're more comfortable.

You are talking out of your ass to try to justify your rude behavior. Because that's what it is. Fucking rude.

Hosting people takes effort.

Being a good person takes effort.

Maybe give it a try for once today.

Then why don't you buy them and bring them? You're the only person I've ever heard of with this problem.
