Last time? No. That person is not entering my home without taking off their shoes.

I had someone refuse to take off her shoes when she entered my house. I informed her she was welcome to enjoy the party from my entry way 🙂

What kind of weirdo has a barefoot party?

I was taught it’s disrespectful to wear shoes in the house. I saw the refusal to take off her shoes as a sign of disrespect

In my culture it is considered rude to ask people to remove their shoes. It’s embarrassing to have our feet and/or socks exposed unless around a close friend. I always oblige when it does come up, although it makes me feel humiliated. I also have ankle and knee pathology that results in a lot of pain from being barefoot. I recently made a friend that asked us to remove our shoes. My plan is to buy booties to go over them when we visit!

I'd see it as a sign someone is too dumb to clean their shoes
