    Go back and **** on her carpet

    What first popped to mind .. and what my dirty mind settled on are two very different things , one would leave an horrendous stain ... the other wont ....but be much worse to clean up.

    Personally I'd be a bit more chilled out about these things. Maybe have a go at spot cleaning it myself, rather than staring at the stains like the world had ended.

    Good for you. Nice to see some people respect peoples property.

    Come to think if it, I could use my carpets cleaned. Can you call over tomorrow?

    Tell her to take that round to Snow White and the three little chemists. They should have a gander at that.

    It's actually quite common amongst Eastern Europeans not to wear shoes inside, nothing to do with being uptight.

    Yup, I live with a Slovakian, and we have a no shoe zone in our home :)

    I would never ever, ever have the audacity to say to someone about leaving a mess on the floor even if the oil was dripping of them. They are guests in your home you are supposed to make them welcome and comfortable, and I do take shoes off in house out of habit more than cleanliness. I don't think I could embarrass someone like that. Now if it were someone who did it on purpose of course but in this case jeez she had a neck on her.

    When I lived in Korea you'd be murdered if you stepped inside someone's house with shoes on. Wouldn't mind though my floor was still scruffy.

    Was it North Korea ?

    Do people here actually ask guests to take off their shoes when they come into their homes? That's never happened to me. I'd never ever ask a guest to remove their shoes unless they'd been out in a mucky field or had stepped in something like dog poo. Weird.

    OP your one sounds like a pain in the arse. Even if you did dirty the carpet, it's not like you did it on purpose. $hit happens.

    We do in our home, unless the people who are coming in are electricians, guards, etc...

    Ditto people who phone people to tell them there's oil on their carpet after their visit, but if the OP is responsible then I guess they just have to compensate. They'll look the bigger person by doing so.
    Buy them a brand new carpet and get it laid? No fecking way.

    It's not a 'home' then. I feel sorry for you.

    Tell her the wipe down is part and parcel of the lap dancing career and to be more careful next time. That'll sort it.

    usually houses inhabited by *****!!

    Their house, their rules, if everyone else had their shoes off, where could oil have come from? Bit much of them to call about it, but if they dont let people in with their shoes on, how did you get in? through a window or something?

    petrol is a solvent, should sort out the oil

    No shoes in our house (partners filipino, big no no in their country) we don't make visitors remove their shoes. Thats just rude! Antway easy enough to just clean up

    Hang on, the home owner has a rule that shoes should be removed, did they ask you to remove your shoes OP? If they didn't ask feck em. You can't be expected to remember all these little foibles.

    Not really. Makes perfect sense and saves necessary extra cleaning. Tis the done thing in Canada and since I've been here I've realized it makes your life a lot easier

    It's one thing not to wear shoes in your own house, but insisting that visitors remove their shoes is a whole other story.

    Pretty rude to be honest, I'd be embarrassed to ask someone to leave their shoes at the door. It's basically me saying "I think you're a dirty b**tard and I'm begrudgingly letting you walk through my house."

    That'd only be the case if the house owner didn't take their does off, but insisted visitors took their off, no? How are they calling someone a dirty bastard when they're only asking them to do the same thing as themselves?
