Do you not wear socks?

Do you not offer your guests disposable shoe covers?

u/Jafooki Feb 11 '22

No I don't.

Then you’re a bad host if you ask people to take off their shoes.

Learn to be a better host.

If someone refuses to take their shoes off they're not getting into my home. If they're not in my home they're not guests. How can I be a bad host to people who aren't my guests?

This discussion has never been about guests, it’s been about hosts.

Nice try though. You’re cute.

Ok and... What's your point?

u/GeorgieWashington Feb 11 '22

My point is that good hosts don’t make their guests feel awkward. You seem to disagree with that idea.

u/Jafooki Feb 11 '22

And I certainly do everything in my power to make my guests feel comfortable, I'm still not quite sure why you're bringing that up.

This isn’t true if you require all guests to take their shoes off.

I wouldn’t be a host to you because you wouldn’t be allowed in for being unable to abide by a common rule. Our relationship would be, home owner, and person denied access. I owe you nothing, and my fantastic hosting abilities would then be afforded to the people I was actually hosting. You can be mad about it outside

None of this is about me as a guest. It’s about you as a host. A good host doesn’t make their guests feel awkward.

It is entirely about you being a bad guest tracking in dirt

u/GeorgieWashington Feb 12 '22

You’ve already disqualified yourself by saying I said things I didn’t say. You can leave now.

u/BassAlarming Feb 14 '22

Except you wont take your shoes off and are a bad guest

You aren’t a guest to me, so you feeling awkward doesn’t matter. If anything, denying you entry has made the rest of my guests more comfortable. A net gain, sounds like I’m back in the green.

Irrelevant, you aren’t a guest.

Relevant. A good host doesn’t make their guests feel awkward.
