I never trust anyone that wears shoes inside their house. I was just watching the show “Dahmer”, and it showed him wearing shoes in his apartment. I was like “Wow, he really was a psychopath”.

Most shows show people wearing shoes indoors though.

I guess it does look better on film, but they’re on a set. I was mostly just making a joke. I really do prefer to not wear shoes inside, though. I feel like it is more cleanly. Unless you have weird gross feet/socks.

Well, most AMERICAN shows. All Asian shows have slippers or bare feet indoors and show people toeing off their shoes at the door.

I don't understand people who wear regular clothes at home.
I went over my friends the other night to help her with her computer and she was still wearing jeans and a tshirt and fucking shoes. WITH HER WORK BADGE!
It was like 9pm. As soon as I get home shoes, boxer briefs, and jeans and t, gets changed out for shoe lesss, sock less, boxers, sweats and an oversized tshirt.
I keep my clothes laid out by my bed like a fireman

Whenever I get home from the day I always shower and put my clothes in the hamper! Depending on what I’m doing, I might put on “regular” clothes, but yeah, I usually just put on comfy stuff. If I get home and decide to go somewhere else, I never wear the same socks. Some people might see this as wasteful because I do a lot of laundry, but I just don’t like feeling gross.
Edit: I also always lay my next outfit out! It’s just part of my routine, so when I need to leave next I’m clean and everything is ready.

Yeah I will reput on my clothes but socks are always fresh

Lol shoes in the house is pretty common but if they wear shoes on their bed, I can't overlook that

That's funny, because I'm almost the opposite. If I go to someone's house where they make everyone take their shoes off when they come in, I consider that a big red flag.

Why is it a red flag? It's their home. Sometimes it's a cultural practice.

It's controlling and I just think it's weird to have a bunch of barefoot adults at a dinner party. In my culture, when someone is a guest at your house, you extend courtesy to them first. It's like guests washing their own dishes, it's nice if they do it without being asked, but forcing them to do it is gauche and indicative of a lack of generosity. That's just my opinion.

When you walk around outside, do you watch everywhere you step? Do you avoid every piece of gum, every cigarette butt, every food wrapper? No, you don't. Where do those things end up? On the bottom of your shoe.
If you think that me inviting you to my place is free reign to trudge the garbage on the bottom of your shoe around my house, you're mistaken.

I've found that it's largely regional. In the Midwest, or colder climates shoes off is expected. There's just too much snow, dirt, and other stuff floating around for half the year. The other half it tends to be rainy, so now you're dealing with mud.
Contrast to the American southwest, where it's dry and hot all the time. You're not going to get mud in the house if there's no mud anywhere.
I live in Minnesota, and we keep a stack of slippers around for guests so they can take their shoes off, and still keep their feet warm.

In Minnesota and I haven’t been in anyones home that lets you keep your shoes on. Sounds really gross.
jimizeppelinfloyd t1_iun4hbm wrote
That's probably a huge part of it. Tracking visible dirt is not an issue in my area and shoes off is very uncommon.
jimizeppelinfloyd t1_iun4a2q wrote
Ok, but I'm just saying I consider that a negative personality trait.

It scuffs my wood floors and I don’t want to wax them every day. Also keep them cleaner. Every house I’ve been to that prefers no shoes in the house has been very clean.
