    Pffft, are you mental!?

    It feels weird if I don't wear shoes going to bed!

    Course you take your shoes off. Don't want mud or whatever trailing through the house.

    As soon as I'm in the door they're off. Likewise when I enter other peoples houses. I don't want to put them in the situation of having to ask me to take them off.....

    Man,

    What if someone comes into your house, plonks off the shoes and there is a rancid smell of cheese feet?

    Wonder if people find this weird? Edit: Liz haz spoken! :pac:

    To me it feels like someone is getting too comfortable in your home. Maybe that's just me. Also,what if your guests feet smell?? Sometimes it's probably better keeping the shoes on. Fuk the carpet/flooring.

    Do people not wash their feet every day??? And if you HAVE smelly feet you shouldn't be out in public, you should be at home in your cave......

    My friend's brother fires his socks out the window when his girlfriend is over as they smell so bad! :pac:

    Damn those choices. I don't hate feet but I don't take my runners/boots off unless I'm putting my (socked) feet up on the furniture.

    Ahhhh sheeeeeeeeeeeiiiiitt, thats weird.

    I can imagine the awkward look on the other persons face, what if they were discreetly trying to get rid of you fairly fast and then they see the shoes popping off.

    Next you will be having a poo in their fancy toilet.

    Shoes on. Gets my hackles up big time when I go to someones house and they demand I take my shoes off cos they have just got new white/cream carpet. At least do the courtesy of letting me know before I visit.

    Take a protest dump in the corner and blame the foxes.

    No I don't, feet are disgusting
    In Ireland I'd still be offended if someone asked me to take my shoes off inside. Or write them off for being up their own hole. But in foreign, I'm totally fine wi it and would take em off and even wear the communal slipper, happily.

    Setting aside situations where its cultural or ive just been swimming in the slurry tank, if some precious prick asked me to take my gutties (i dont wear shoes) off in their house id leave.
    However, the poll was too loaded (i like feet) so i couldnt vote

    Quite normal in the Czech Republic to take off your shoes on entering someones home; you often will be given slippers to wear.
