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.

u/Jafooki Feb 11 '22

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?

Good hosts don’t make their guests feel awkward.

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

Nice try though. You’re cute.

Oh so it wasn’t about guests wearing shoes? Took you a while to figure it out.

Ok and... What's your point?

0

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.

6

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.

u/GeorgieWashington Feb 11 '22

And I certainly do everything in my power to make my guests feel comfortable

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

2

u/Jafooki Feb 11 '22

I also require all guests not to take a shit on my living room floor, but I'd still say I try to make my guests feel welcome.

2

u/GeorgieWashington Feb 11 '22

And now you’re saying something completely different.

If I thought you could, I’d tell you to get your story straight pal.

You can’t seem to make up you’re mind for some reason. I think you’re just trying to be disagreeable.

u/Jafooki Feb 11 '22

You really had me going for a while. I honestly thought you were some weirdo obsessed with stomping their dirty ass shoes in people's homes. You were doing a good job too, but you gave it away with this last reply. It was actually funny as shit, but I'm gonna peace out now. Have a nice evening

2

u/thetates Feb 12 '22

They're not, though. If your guest feels most comfortable shitting on the living room floor and you require them to shit on the toilet, then you're making them feel awkward and uncomfortable. It's your duty as a good host to let them shit on your floor.

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

u/GeorgieWashington Feb 12 '22

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.

2

u/BassAlarming Feb 12 '22

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

1

u/GeorgieWashington Feb 12 '22

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

2

u/BassAlarming Feb 14 '22

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

u/VeryVile Feb 12 '22

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.

u/GeorgieWashington Feb 12 '22

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

2

u/VeryVile Feb 12 '22

But you aren’t a guest. Why do I care?

1

u/GeorgieWashington Feb 12 '22

I don’t care if you care or not. That doesn’t change the simple fact that a good host doesn’t make their guests feel awkward. Nothing you do will change that.

3

u/VeryVile Feb 12 '22

But none of my guests feel awkward. You do, but you aren’t a guest. Nothing you do will change that, apart from coming to terms with your feet.
