in Ireland that so often walk into your house with their fecking shoes on?

TAKE IT OFF!!!

How'd you like it if I walk on your carpets with dirt and mud right off the road?? :mad:

Really fecking annoying, inconsiderate pricks.

Driveby Dogboy · 02-09-2013 03:14PM

hang a sign, 'no shoes indoors, we're from the continent' or something

o1s1n · 02-09-2013 03:14PM

No

Some of us don't live in muddy bogs OP.

listermint · 02-09-2013 03:15PM

Get wooden floors.

I always thought that people who got me to take shoes off were pretentious.

Jake Rugby Walrus666 · 02-09-2013 03:16PM

Yes, and those little packets of peanuts you get on Aeroplanes.

Id be thinking the opposite, if someone took off their shoes in my house, I'd be looking at them funny.

No

You shouldn't have bought cream carpets.

Hardly anything pretentious about keeping the house clean...

Hammar · 02-09-2013 03:17PM

No

OP, I'm sure the people are beating down your door wanting to come in,since you seem like such great craic. :rolleyes:

dodderangler · 02-09-2013 03:17PM

I'd rather someone keep their shoes on than smell their rotten feet!!

SEPT 23 1989 · 02-09-2013 03:18PM

Barefoot in the house?

Is there a name for having a smelly sock fetish?

michellie · 02-09-2013 03:18PM

No

Never been asked to take off my shoes or asked anyone. I guess I'm just normal, as are the people I know.

Not the same at all.

You lick your carpets or something?

krudler · 02-09-2013 03:19PM

That's why people have doormats? long as you're not tracking a rake of sh1te in with you it's grand.

Cee-Jay-Cee · 02-09-2013 03:19PM

No

If someone came into my house and took their shoes off I'd tell then to put them to fuck back on again as I don't want their sweaty smelly feet polluting my house. There's a mat at the door if their shoes are dirty/wet that they can wipe their shoes on.

Fuggin nonsense taking your shoes off unless their caked to the ankles in mud. My visitors are generally civilised and not muck savages.

Vicar in a tutu · 02-09-2013 03:20PM

I'd think someone was an asshole if they asked me to remove my shoes!

Tombo2001 · 02-09-2013 03:20PM

Nice thread title in terms of grabbing attention.....

Shoes / no shoes.....

.......sorry, I've a half eaten apricot somewhere down the back of the fridge.......when I've eaten it I'll get back to ya.....

Honey-ec · 02-09-2013 03:21PM

No

Cue someone posting about hygiene any minute now.

Having never felt the need to eat directly off my floors, I think that old chesnut specious at best.

Hey, if you enjoy having muddy shoe prints on your carpets that's up to you - but frankly I don't.

Shenshen · 02-09-2013 03:23PM

Well, that answered that question....

I had been wondering why Irish people seem to meet up in the pub rather than at home, now I know it's because they're surgically attached to their shoes and nobody wants the dirt in the house.

awec · 02-09-2013 03:23PM

No

TBH I think asking a visitor to remove their shoes before coming in would be quite rude.

Honey-ec · 02-09-2013 03:24PM

No

Where do you live that's so muddy??? It's been the driest summer in years.

Fine - 'dust/dirt' prints if you wanna get specific.

Karl Stein · 02-09-2013 03:28PM

I had to grow up in an orphanage because my old man was killed down there in Okinawa, all right?

A couple of doormats would be a simple solution. A coir one outside the door and a carpet one just inside the door. Problem solved.

And get your carpet Sotchgarded, ffs.

lahalane · 02-09-2013 03:29PM

No

Well how are they supposed to know if you don't tell them? If I was asked once to take my shoes off I'd remember for every time...I'd also think the person who asked me was a bit of a twat.

Pumpkinseeds · 02-09-2013 03:29PM

No

I'd feel really embarrassed if someone asked me to take my shoes off in their home. I just wouldn't feel comfortable. Tbh I wouldn't be in a hurry to visit them again.

02-09-2013 03:29PM

I always take my shoes off at home, I don't like wearing them inside
I do wear them in other people's homes unless they were to tell me to take them off, though

Different customs in different countries, I don't think it makes someone a "twat"

I'd consider it very rude for someone to come into my home and plonk off their shoes without asking tbh.

jester77 · 02-09-2013 03:33PM

Everyone takes off their shoes here, people are considerate and don't want to drag in dirt. Luckily people wash their feet and wear fresh socks here so smelly feet is not an issue, plus the underfloor heating is nice when you are in your socks.

What is the deal with people...
