Do you take them off in the shower???? When you have sex?????
i roll out of bed in the morning, already wearing full tactical gear, my kevlar cocoon has kept me safe for another night.
making my way to the kitchen, i duck and weave from cover to cover, careful of the windows, as i clear the hallway and intervening guest bedroom.
i crouch beneath the oak breakfast table as i eat my scambled eggs and toast, glaring balefully at the neighbors outside cat that has come to investigate my hummingbird feeder, hand on the pistol at my side.
BBRRRZZTDINGdingDING
i whip my gun around and unload six rounds through the front door before the bell finishes.
ah shit. it was the mailman again. i put up a sign saying "please knock" but they never learn.

Why’d you fucking hesitate you coward! Blast that diseased rodent away!
Yes and the more ridiculous the activity seems to do with shoes on, the bigger shoes we don. For example, if I wore leather shoes to work, then when I get home I put on high top sneakers, then in the shower I put on my timbs, then during sex I put in my 3 inch platform Doc Martens
wait, only docs? not the knee-high black pvc boots with a 4-inch heel an-
ohhhhhhhhh wait its a joke post disregard
When I found out that some Americans actually keep their shoes on in the house I was fucking appalled
of course i wear shoes in the house, because my floors are covered in dirt for reasons I can't explain.
My mom always told us to take off our shoes in the house, so we did and I prefer it anyway. My dad always kept his shoes on and would take them off for bed and that’s about it. If I stubbed a toe on something in the house I would always get “if you had shoes on that wouldn’t have happened” from him. Yes he loved Reagan. Yes my parents are divorced now.
I mean how am I going to pull myself up by my bootstraps if I take them off??
Madness, next you'll be telling me you glue your carpets to the floor
I wear Timbs during sex for the grip. Personally I go with the Premium Waterproof for extra protection against lube and squirts.
I heard that when Americans die and they can finally remove their shoes, their feet are so degraded that they look like burned pieces of bacon.
This varies from house to house. Everyone seems to have their own rules.
I'm just trying to imagine sitting down to eat dinner wearing a pair of grimy combat boots
I don’t even take my shoes off when I go swimming, or sit in the electric chair and die for my crimes, because I’m an AMERICAN.
I don't know people who do this but then again most people I know are Asian
I study Japanese as a hobby, and as a Nordic person it's always fun to see textbooks and other learning materials present taking your shoes off as you enter a house as this foreign custom you need to learn and pay special attention to, like what sort of unwashed barbarian doesn't remove their dirty fucking shoes when they come in? We don't do the slipper thing though
My experience has always been you take them off at your house, but not if you go to someone else. and even that isn't a given.
You'd think it was the inverse, how the hell are you supposed to know what your guest is about to drag in on their shoes, those things are coming off
It's a different story if you're hosting some sort of more formal event though, dress shoes etc usually stay on
Yeah formal events shoes stay on. and like I said it's not a concrete thing, there are plenty of people who do take off their shoes at people's houses, especially depending the people involved. But I've never heard of anyone wearing them in their own house.
My best guess is it's just a thing people think is rude, usually people have matts to kick the dirt off your shoes, so I think it's just a thing like you wouldn't just walk to and open someone's fridge and take whatever you want out. You don't want to act like you own the place, by kicking off your "smelly" shoes.
That's my best guess anyway.
In my experience, the problem usually isn't the shoes being smelly
The zone where the natives live is not complementary to the zone inhabited by the settlers. The two zones are opposed, but not in the service of a higher unity. Obedient to the rules of pure Aristotelian logic, they both follow the principle of reciprocal exclusivity. No conciliation is possible, for of the two terms, one is superfluous. The settlers' town is a strongly built town, all made of stone and steel. It is a brightly lit town; the streets are covered with asphalt, and the garbage cans swallow all the leavings, unseen, unknown and hardly thought about. The settler's feet are never visible except perhaps in the sea; but there you're never close enough to see them. His feet are protected by strong shoes although the streets of his town are clean and even, with no holes or stones. The settler's town is a well-fed town, an easygoing town; its belly is always full of good things. The settlers' town is a town of white people, of foreigners.
its really stupid but reminded me of this quote from Wretched of the Earth
there is porn out there with ppl fucking ppl with AF1s on it's disgusting
