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

  It was about your attitude, not the shoes ;) I am aware that not everyone cares about basic hygiene, that’s fine by me!

    We aren’t talking about basic hygiene here my friend. Unless you are spending a lot of time laying on the floor… but most people have couches and chairs and beds and whatnot - places you don’t put your shoes on. And most people clean their house on a regular basis, which includes vacuuming and/or mopping. You anti-shoes-inside people are silly.

      Yes, because dirt and germs stay exactly where they’re left and never move or multiply, and are always completely benign! Lol, I stand by my comment. :)

      Also funny that you’re calling basically the rest of the world silly for figuring this out before you.

        That’s why we don’t eat off floors, but from raised surfaces like… a table.

        I find it so interesting people are so horrified by the thoughts of shoes indoors. I can see the benefits of having a no shoe policy, but this opinion that people must be pigs if they wear shoes inside is crazy.

        In my country (The Netherlands) it’s fairly common for people to have shoes indoors. Muddy shoes will always be left at the door, obviously. And if I worked in, lets say, the garden, I obviously don’t go around the house messing up the floor. But being afraid of the germs under your shoes to hit the floor? Are people that careful with their bags too? With their pants? Or… hell… with their phones?

        There’s nuance to having shoes inside which does, in fact, not make us the monsters we are told to be by this thread.
