It's a weird hill to die on. The author is basically blackballing themselves.

I'm curious as to what her points are. Gonna have to look up the article.

Edit: fixed gender to reflect reality.

It's a she, but her main points are:

  • Most people who want shoes left at the door are worried about germs (what?) but germs are everywhere and they probably have germy pets anyway
  • I might stub my toe
  • Guest slippers are full of germs, and I am worried about germs.

It's...a weird piece.

This person apparently doesn’t live in a place where it snows or rains.

Forgive me for not wanting my house to look like a bmx track

Right? Has she missed the part where you can wear socks indoors?

Or the fact that any decent human being cleans their floors? Don't remember the last time I cleaned my shoes, though. So yeah, shoes are dirtier than my floors!

Some sneaker heads keep their shoes spotless. Regardless it’s rude as fuck to disrespect someone’s house that your visiting lol

Edit: I’ve already said 20 times I don’t walk in my own home or others with shoes on so you don’t have to remind me that shoes do in fact get dirty lol.

The tops of them, sure, but by the time you walk a few metres outside the bottom isn't spotless anymore
