Mindblown that americans doesnt take off their shoes when entering their own home

[nordiclifter]

We take our shoes off at my home. If I'm going to be running in and out of the house, though, I usually leave my shoes on but mainly on the wood floors, not the carpet.

I once was at a friend's house in high school and there was a bunch of us over there (at least ten people) and he made us all take our shoes off and leave them by the front door. I kid you not, the smell coming from the area by the front door was horrendous.

smelly shoes and feet is something scandis dont have unless its the workout shoes/sneakers. we shower and change socks everyday in order to prevent smell

sometimes myself or someone else have smelly shoes, but its embarrassing and we usually comment ourselves that we perhaps forgot to wash them or need to buy new pair

If you have a party everyone just stands around in their socks? Seems so weird - Different strokes for Different folks.

No, usually we sit. I've had a couple parties, but for the most part we usually go out for a party. I don't like having people over because I like having a clean, empty place with just myself and one or two people over.

That's the rules. If they don't take their shoes off they aren't allowed in. My mom has been the only issue so far. Lack of fukin respect, but she eventually caves.

I heard in Scandinavia muslims don't even take off their head scarf before going in dry on your benefits

[Zackad]

lol I always take off my shoes in home. maybe sometimes I'll wear flip flops around the house. I visit stranger's houses frequently, and always ask if they'd like me to take their shoes off before I enter past the door. Only 1 person/household has ever asked that I remove it.

absolutely disgusting

always made my friends take off their shoes too when they'd visit my apartment. I wouldn't demand it before entering, but if I noticed after a couple minutes that they didn't take them off, I'd point it out, jokingly making a bigger deal out of it each consecutive time it happened. they eventually got the idea

American here, I take off all my clothes when I get home.

Serious.

I make my house as comfortable as possible for everyone. Big a** couches, loads of chairs in the kitchen, ice cold beer mugs, extra fridge for beer, huge TV screen. My house caters to people I invite in and we have huge parties. My house is meant to be lived in. If that means I have to take extra time to clean the hardwoods, vacuum , have the carpets professionally cleaned and replace the carpet more frequently then thats what I do....

^^That isnt a shot at you or your preferences (srs). As I said earlier, different strokes for different folks. I completely get removing your shoes if you like to be extra clean, have white carpets, have OCD, etc..

Take my shoes off? Hell I take my pants off as soon as I walk into my home.

My grandpa is a old old farmer who's always said "take my boots off? floors are meant for walking on its not like im gonna eat off the fukking thing"

[Jibt3ch]

Nearly everybody I know takes their shoes off at the door. I don't know why, but I just find it incredibly rude if people walk in my house with their shoes on.

Growing up i had one friend who's shoes you could wear in the house. It was basically just a party house and on weekends if yoy went there your shoes might get stolen if some ruffians attended. They also spit on their own floors and people were pissing and puking all over the bathroom too. Lol could literally go there any day and any time and their would be people either drinking or doing drugs. Everyday of the week. Just lol when I think back to it, 3 brothers with a single mom pretty much.

they should do this at shool so i can see the girls pretty feet

Oh I have big ass couches too m8. I always have 4-5 frozen beer mugs and probably 12 different beers in the fridge at any time and plenty of other drinks and wine. I also have my own home theatre and have had scary movie marathons around Halloween and football parties for the big games, but most of the time I don't like having people over unless I'm keen on a girl, nomsayin'. I just prefer going out if there's a lot of people. I don't like a lot of people in my house. Last time that happened their kids drew on my walls.

[joshewwah]

just lmao @ u if you don't take off ur shoes before entering your house and using house slippers

fukin dirty dogs


mirin the Japanese for their clean culture

My boyfriend does this ****....absolutely haram. I have noticed "ethnic" people tend to take theirs off at the door. Bf is white btw.constantly taking his shoes off or moving them from the random place he took them off in the house.

[fali1991]

Especially true for guys- the puddle of pee under a urinal you slightly step in to take piss in public bathrooms? That's all over your floor.

I take off my shoes and have my roomba running day and night.

If someone comes in who doesn't like the idea of taking their shoes off, I throw some shoe covers in their face. If they refuse I ask them to leave. Simple. Not all American are the same

so if I understand you right, your BF is wearing his shoes around your house? how often do you and him need to clean?

[TheAmazon]

It's a never ending story. He's not tidy. I try to do something every night but between him being a lazy cleaner. Myself and a three year old I'm lucky if it stays nice for three days. The weekends are reserved for cleaning, laundry, and floors.

[redraider86]

I have never worn shoes inside. At my house (and growing up) you take your shoes off by the door and put on slippers or tapochki.

Asian Crew, I guess.

[bjjruinedmylife]

Of course i dont keep my shoes on...



I dont have shoes.

[juvefan]

If i take my shoes off everyone will see my 3inch lifts

The towers and center channel are Bic Acoustech speakers. I know the towers are dual 8" speakers with horns, and the center is dual 6.5". The horns make it a bit too bright sound imo, but it sounds amazing overall.

The AVR is a Denon (1612? i forget) with DTS capable (bluray uncompressed audio capable). Most of my movies are on my HTPC though.

The rears are a no name brand, but really damn good bookshelves that I use to use by themselves when I had a stereo styled system.

The receiver pictured on the left is actually used to power the couch which has two bass shakers attached to it. The wiring is in the walls. I used the LF out (subwoofer out) to send a signal to the couch and it'll shake during explosions and such. It's not really needed if the sub is turned up. It'll shake the whole house just fine.

The subwoofer is a PA-150. A 15" sub and it only sees about 1/4 volume. It's honestly too big for that basement but I don't plan on living here forever.

The screen is just a white painted wall and I built the frame by hand and painted it.

The projector is a Epson 8350 (1080p)

The outside of the US is clean enough so we don't have to take off our shoes u mad brah?



USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

[OnePostPony]

Stepping in the door and taking your shoes off after a long day is a GOAT feeling, it wouldn't even feel like I was home if I didn't take my shoes off.

*** Stripper-at-home-Crew ***

I have hard wood floors. I sweep every other day and mop once a week. If I had carpet Id try a little harder to keep it clean but even then a vacuum cleaner gets most of the dirt/dust up.


Do you take your shoes off when you enter an office building?

Why would you even want to wear shoes at home after wearing 'em while out and about? Unless you got ugly ass feet or just want to appear taller at all times, there's no point of wearing shoes in your home since it'll just mean that you have to clean your carpet and hardwood flooring more often.

[JoshSP1985]

Don't take off shoes, I have dogs that go in/out so it's really pointless. I usually take off my shoes but it's not at the door generally go to the bedroom and put my shoes in the closet.

[WHChampion]

Shoes off default. If host keeps theirs on though then they probably don't clean the floors so shoes stay on.
