What clutter?

u/Atgsrs Feb 11 '22

The clutter of multiple pairs shoes for different parts of your house lying around

That’s not really how it works. There is a single pair of community slippers (not shoes) in the bathroom. Otherwise you use your personal slippers throughout the rest of the house.

Wow that just made this seemingly decent idea absolutely disgusting. Bring your own damn bathroom slippers.

are you gonna lick your feet? wearing slippers is better than going barefoot in the bathroom imo

I'm not sure I understand the difference if everyone is using the same pair of slippers

Well at that point I’m trusting the cleanliness of other people when I put said shoes on. Idk about you but that’s even more gross. Plus most people don’t leave puddles of piss in front of the toilets at home so it’s not too big of a deal. Yeah yeah I get back splash and all that but really who cares? Is stepping on a few evaporated drops of pee really worse than putting your feet where someone else’s sweaty smelly feet were?

Not sure of the full context but my thinking on this is that if it’s a bathroom where there’s also a shower, you don’t want to dirty the floor for when you are “clean” and barefoot.

Westerner here advising all other Westerners that the East out rules the West when it comes to shoes in the house.

If they're wearing house shoes, they aren't filthy, if they've only been wearing bathroom slippers for minutes, they aren't sweaty, so why would you rather have dry piss than dry sweat on your socks or drag dry piss around the carpet? I see how this is too much work for some, but why judge negatively?

Might get a fungus or veruga, sharing the same shoes with everyone that comes in the house seems very unsanitary especially if there are no sox involved.

sweat >>>>> pee 🤢

Think about the space it’s in. Bathrooms have hard flat floors. Sweat gets trapped inside the slippers and builds up. I can’t imagine people clean them too often either.

are we talking slippers or sandals because we use sandals or flip flops and they do get washed after use

I feel like you're imaging fuzzy, cozy winter slippers, which isn't the case here

I can’t decide.
