Why do Americans wear shoes in their house?

[Lidl Drip]

Don't you see how disgusting it is to drag dirt from outside into your house? Is it because your floors are so dirty from wearing shoes inside that you don't want to walk on them barefoot? When will you become civilized and take your shoes off and put on some nice warm wool socks instead? Filthy!

It's the only way to be safe.

Can never be too safe! I’d hope you inecenerate the airlock you entered in with too. You never know

 

[Dick Mason]

My floors are filthy and I don't want to get my footy pajamas dirty.

 

[MrTroll]

My floors are covered in nails, broken glass, and puddles of sulfuric acid, so I have to wear shoes at all times for protection. And please don't say anything retarded like "why don't you clean up the sharp objects and toxic chemicals?" Life is too short to answer dumb questions, ok?

Only on hard surfaces. You don't bring your muddy soles on my carpet unless you want a ride in mister woodchipper.

You've got to test your mettle by rolling around in it. While wearing nothing but shoes of course, you're not a savage.

 

[The Connected Nose]

Am American. Never wear shoes indoors. I don't have some dedicated area with a different elevation like a Japanese house, but my shoes do stay by the door.

Walking around with shoes on more than I have to just makes my feet feel gross.

A relic of being a nation of frontiersmen. They died with their boots on.

Particularly in the South, it's considered impolite to greet a guest in socks or bare feet. My grandmother from one of the beautiful states of the Confederacy was appalled when, at the age of 14, I was having a young lady over to the house but was not wearing shoes. Basically, you want to signal to your guest that you've taken special steps to make them feel welcome. And indeed, feet are fucking disgusting, and socks make them worse. So put your hooves away, heathens!

 

[Testacles Maximus]

I don’t know anybody who wears shoes in their house.

Yes you do.

Raised in the South. Guests of the female persuasion, regardless of whether or not I was courting them, were no exception. Shoes off at the door, bitch.

Well, you can take it up with my grandmother. If you are demeaning or insulting toward her, she will kill you.

No, but I do burn my outside clothes. Bare minimum hygine, I suppose.

 

[Cloaca Rimjob]

They're too busy worshipping niggers to notice they still have their shoes on

 

[Poppavalyim Andropoff]

they buy their processed cheese and shit themselves

that cheese would glue your arsehole shut

Simply don't walk around in dirt?

What if you have kids that crawl on your floors and then stick their fingers in their mouth?!

Do you consider it normal for children to crawl around on the bare floor you walk on whether it has dirt or not? Why do you live in complete filth?

No I don't live in filth because I don't wear my outdoor shoes inside my house. Everything outside is dirty you can't just "not walk around in dirt". That's why you take your shoes off by the door, filthy mutt.

 

[Pierre D'Olnique]

Shoes and socks remind me of the outside world, and I hate it there. My house is clean, warm and comfy.

 

[YellowIsACoolColor]

Everything outside is dirty

Maybe in whatever third world shithole you live in but where I live sidewalks and roads are cleaned regularly

 

[CoolFool]

I don't take my shoes off unless I know for sure I'm not going out again or I am done with all of my errands for the day. Idk how to explain it, but that's just how it is out here, if your shoes are off then it's like you're signalling that you're done for the day and it's time to relax. If shoes are on, then you're still doing stuff or expecting company, etc.

Floors get dirty no matter what, even people who don't wear their shoes inside still have to clean their floors just as much as people who wear shoes.

Unless they mop the sidewalk where you live (doubt) yea, they are dirty. And never going anywhere except between your car and the parking lot of a store isn't the brag you think it is, fatty Amerimutt.
