Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

People wear shoes indoors? That sounds utterly barbaric to me lol
I'm not American in any way, but I am fond of urbanism. Imagine your cities built in a very car-centric way, so to get anywhere any time you always use a car. Your shoes are almost clean all the time. Home, car, groceries, car, home, car, office, car, bar, car, home. A park is miles away, you don't pass it by when you walk from the office. So I disagree with the barbarism. The concept is just suitable only for a specific urban design.
That’s a lot of dirty parking lots you’re walking through… even the cleanest surfaces outside have way more dust and grime than inside.
You are totally right. I'm just trying to find at least a theoretical explanation for this behavior.
You make it sound like sidewalks are sparkling clean
no-no, not at all, I'm just trying to find at least a theoretical explanation for this behavior.
In my experience, they're cleaner than most carpets.
I'm so sorry for the carpets you've experienced. That's disgusting.
Me too. Hardwoods for life.
Ever use an ill-maintained public bathroom?
Go on with your bubble boy mentality. Git.
Do you wear gloves before opening public doors too?
Lmao living in filth and being proud of it. Congratz, you're the epitome of intellect!
Imagine thinking that taking your shoes off indoors makes you some sort of superior being.
Congrats on being able to eat food off your pristine floors I guess.
It was about your attitude, not the shoes ;) I am aware that not everyone cares about basic hygiene, that's fine by me!
We aren’t talking about basic hygiene here my friend. Unless you are spending a lot of time laying on the floor… but most people have couches and chairs and beds and whatnot - places you don’t put your shoes on. And most people clean their house on a regular basis, which includes vacuuming and/or mopping. You anti-shoes-inside people are silly.
Yes, because dirt and germs stay exactly where they're left and never move or multiply, and are always completely benign! Lol, I stand by my comment. :)
Also funny that you're calling basically the rest of the world silly for figuring this out before you.
That's why we don't eat off floors, but from raised surfaces like... a table.
I find it so interesting people are so horrified by the thoughts of shoes indoors. I can see the benefits of having a no shoe policy, but this opinion that people must be pigs if they wear shoes inside is crazy.
In my country (The Netherlands) it's fairly common for people to have shoes indoors. Muddy shoes will always be left at the door, obviously. And if I worked in, lets say, the garden, I obviously don't go around the house messing up the floor. But being afraid of the germs under your shoes to hit the floor? Are people that careful with their bags too? With their pants? Or.. hell.. with their phones?
There's nuance to having shoes inside which does, in fact, not make us the monsters we are told to be by this thread.
I think in this example it'd be the shoe wearers wearing gloves inside all day
How often do you vacuum mop your floor?
