Current Events > Why do white people wear shoes in the house?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Do you put on your shoes immediately after taking a shower?

---

My shoes come off as soon as Im inside

---

Never wore shoes in my house. Less a white people thing, more a trashy american thing.

i walk bare feet up in this hizzy.

In my experience with my white side, only if they had to be going outside constantly. And never on carpet, that shit tracks dirt.

This has always been my question, except sub in "Americans" for "white people". When I was a kid I never understood commercials for floor cleaners and vacuums always focusing on people not wiping their shoes when they come inside because no one I had ever met wore their shoes inside. And I grew up in a very white town.

I've never seen a white person wear shoes in the house past the front door.

Well if youve been cleaning your white guy pretty good I dont see how the dirty sneakers could be a problem

Yeah I've never done that, but some friends say "you can leave your shoes on" when I go inside their house. This makes me want to leave my shoes on because who knows what they tracked into there. I find it gross.

I grew up in a highly rural area and we wore shoes inside during the day because there was no expectation we'd stay inside: you come in to use the bathroom, grab some water, maybe for a sandwich at lunchtime, but otherwise you'd go back outside to play/work/toil. If your shoes were spectacularly dirty, you'd take them off at the door, but if they were just a regular amount of dusty or leafy, you just wouldn't go into the nice parts of the house.

Taking shoes off at someone else's house was considered rude (or at least very juvenile --- kids could get away with it if all the kids were doing it). Hosting expected guests without shoes on was also rude.

I have no problems taking off my shoes if someone asks me to, but it's not my default. I don't care if people wear shoes inside my house unless they're very muddy or wet.

Theyre on a set. Probably just easier since they wouldnt want to be offstage without shoes.

I take them off for comfort reasons. Im not a germaphobe so I dont really care about whatever microscopic stuff I may have stepped in.
