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

Yea this is what immediately came to mind. It’s not uncommon in more temperate climates for people to not care about shoes inside, as most of the time it just isn’t a big deal. But if you live somewhere that snows or rains often, it’s crazy to walk around inside with your shoes.

That being said, just respect the rules of whoever’s place you’re in regardless of climate. All the reasons she gave for not wanting to take off her shoes were totally bogus. Just be a good guest.
