wife’s coworker had a housewarming party mat at the door said “leave your worries and shoes at the door” wife looked at me like and said “you really gonna leave me with these kids by myself?” door opens, i introduce myself and then as i walk back to the car and look for the nearest brewery
I’m sure this is the time we change each other opinions. I’ve been in the situation once and didn’t take my shoes off and it wasn’t a big deal.
That's fine. It looks incredibly childish to walk up to their door then leave because they ask you to take your shoes off though.
Like arrive, people see you and then watch you leave your wife there alone because they asked you to take off your shoes? To each his own but that’s an action I don’t understand.
idk if that’s why cal left or if he had no plans to stay before he saw the sign. It was a joke and a reference I thought The Blackfish would get and appreciate
On the one hand, he walks around his own house in his sneakers like a maniac. On the other hand, I could see him having enough respect for other humans to abide by such a simple request.
I hope the party was a rager and you missed out because you were embarrassed to walk around in your socks.
I guess he could play ignorant if nobody actually said anything. Cal basically told them to eat a dick to their face.
I hate feet and hate walking barefoot. I won’t do it ever (other than shower at home). It makes me uncomfortable. I value my well-being over someone else’s. So if it was a major issue with the home owners I’d respect them and leave. Only time I was asked I refused and it wasn’t an issue.
I don't like it, but I don't ask guests to remove them. Most automatically do it out of respect though as I do when I go to other people's houses.
of course but imo “barefoot” in this situation means socks. Maybe the beach, other than that in what public situation would “barefoot”imply no socks?
Haha I'll take my shoes off if someone asks me too. No problem at all. I'll never ask anyone to do it but if you invite me to your house I'll play by your rules. I may comment to my wife how weird they are when we leave but I'll do it in the moment.
This is pretty much me. If its on a stupid mat im just gonna ignore it. If they specifically ask ill probably make a ‘you serious face’ and do it. Also im not inviting anyone to my house and expecting them to take their shoes off. If you want to when you get here then feel free but you dont have to. Unless youve been stomping around in dog shit. In that case you probably havent been invited over anyway.
We always take our shoes off at our house when we come inside but that's because my children are disgusting animals and I take mine off so I don't have to deal with a why don't you take yours off argument. I will occasionally tell my kids' friends to take their shoes off but never ask adults. If I know my sneakers are dirty I'll take them off unsolicited at peoples houses and just comment they were dirty and I didn't want to track dirt in your house. Rarely have anyone ask for me to take them off.
I guess we’re are bored. You all can’t say shit when me and dbl get into another light hearted replicas debate.
Speaking of fakes, I ain't made at these. He clearly says what they are and does them better than Nike has done since 1985. Saw on NT that he's charging $700 a pair. If someone bought these and was honest about what they were, I wouldn't fault them for it. They are so well done.
Not entirely sure how anyone can be team shoes on in the house. I personally don't enjoy the thought of tracking all the shit that is/could be on the ground outside through my residence.
