Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house?

What? This is like asking people if they wear a coat inside the house.
We have outside clothes and we have inside clothes, and the outside clothes are not worn inside, because they’re outside clothes.
say I’m cooking all day on Sunday then need to take the trash out. I’m assuming it’s change shoes, then say the grandkids stop by and want to go go for a bike ride? I’m assuming it’s change shoes.
Yeah? Why would I want mud and dirt tracked into my carpet?

I grew up in a shoes inside, coats inside house. To see this much shock at both is kinda crazy to me, didn’t realize it was so uncommon.

I’m so confused. Why would you track all that shit into your house?

I still wear a light jacket inside often as I keep the place between 60-65. Stopped wearing shoes inside as I hate cleaning. That’s how I was raised though, and wearing shoes inside isn’t terribly uncommon here. Maybe it’s a regional thing, maybe a class thing, but people asking you to take off your shoes when you visit is way less common than not. I have to ask people to take off their shoes when they come over and it’s considered bougie.

Interesting. Here in France the “bourgeois” thing is usually to not have your guests take their shoes off inside (because you’re not the one doing the cleaning later)

Oh wow. That’s interesting as hell to me. Are you in America? I was born in Midwest lived in south and back in Midwest. I had one friend whose house I didn’t have to take shoes off at and I uh didn’t cause their carpet was gross… lol

Same, never crossed our minds growing up unless we were wet or muddy.

What do you do if it was raining? Don’t you now have mud and water inside your house.
