kinda like tony montana still shooting when hes probably got a thousand bullets in him already...i gotcha

[Ahlvahroe]

yeah. i sometimes see people go barefoot on the street, like on concrete and shit...i think ive seen pics of sienna miller and amy winehouse doin it. How they can go on for more than 5 mins is beyond me. that shit must hurt like hell.

i remember when i was a little kid visiting my family in mexico i would never wear shoes anywhere. it would be raining, i would be stepping on glass and shit, didnt matter. but then it was a double edged sword cause i was always pissed that i kept cutting my feet all teh time.

when i grew up i always had to take off my shoes, just the basic respect, so i do it to all houses these days, except at partys. Sometimes i feel confused when others don't take of their shoes. btw i'm as white as they come..

This. I've never considered it an "asian" thing or any other, very very few people I know don't take them off.

One too many times I've seen the pile of shoes become the unfortunate stomach contents dumping ground for CWG's at parties though, so I that was my reasoning for sometimes just keeping them on.

youre in canada, you guys are different.

you guys are all polite and well-bred and shit.

[fade to black2]

americans are friendlier

canadians are more polite.

[skiniks]

we'll be friendly to you when we meet you but secretly hate your guts.

[onemancult]

you can do whatever you want in private as long as you take your shoes off in my house.

[willy cheesesteak]

I always thought that shit was only on TV. Dudes like Zack, Corey, etc always walking in to their carpeted room, putting their sneakers up on the bed even sometimes sleeping in them. Shit boggled my mind as a kid.

[M4TM]

yes - shoes off when inside the house.

and what's even worse is seeing people in their BEDS with shoes on... WTF?!?

one thing though - if you don't wear shoes inside the house, you need to take public WAYWT pics, or risk being ridiculed for your lack of properly coordinated footwear.

[GiZMO]

or you sneak on the sneaks take a shot and take em off

[Boredom]

Fuck shoes in the house, and fuck socks too (unless it's somewhat cold).

[Appleseed]

Don't wear outside shoes inside, but I do have a pair of slip on fleece lined mocs for when its chilly. Polished concrete gets cold yo-

[geekbonchic]

The shoe is basically an aesthetically pleasing environmental condom for your foot.

[transactionfee]

what the fuck? it's cuz you asians eat off the floor isint it? why else would you care about wearing shoes in the house?

[julzkind]

yup, my mom makes everyone take their shoes off before they walk in.

it prbly is a cultural thing tho.

i am glad i could add such an informative post to this thread.

It's really not uncomfortable at all. I used to do it a whole lot. Not so much, anymore.

Are you a hobbit?

[DüM]

didn't everyone run around barefoot when they were younger?

during the summer it was everyday for me.

[ProfMonnitoff]

i'm white and i take off my shoes inside the house unless it's someone else's house and the people there don't.

but i guess many white people can afford cleaning ladies so they just dont give a fucccckkkkkk

Yeah, I don't want anyone to fuck up the tatami mats off of which I eat rice and caucasian pussy every day. Also, I wouldn't have any place to practice kung fu, calligraphy, flower arranging, or a clean area to raise panda bears if we got it dirty.

No, actually its just grimey.

I found that a lot of white friends seem to think its dirty to walk around only in your socks inside....but thats because their houses are already dirty from wearing shoes inside before and they can't imagine how it would have been if everyone always took them off. Its like a vicious cycle or something.

ARE YOU A

?

haha no i'm a catholic

but i do tend to wander around some places

[transactionfee]

was just a troll comment to rack up some negs

i wear slippers but i do go outside with them because i dont care/am lazy to change just to grab mail or roam in the garden

[linkejeuk]

wow, this is a suprise to me.

My parents have always strictly told me to not walk with socks in side the house because it is 'boers', which you could translate to peasantlike.

Maybe it's different in Europe?

Most of the people I grew up around it was the same, and I have to admit that the only friends where I did have to take of my shoes were a bit less well to do, so to say.

But yeah, if you have others for cleaning the floors anyway, it's not like it gets very dirty there, and you just walk on your floor, so what does it matter? Also maybe if they had carpet instead of marble floors it would be different?

Putting my feet on the couch, sitting on the floor or stuff like that would also have been frowned upon.

Maybe it's also that my I'm more from the country side and you don't have as much 'city dirt', but more 'natural dirt'? I would certainly rather deal with mud then some strangers piss or puke.

At my own place now I do take of my shoes, cause I do have to clean my own floors, ahah:p. But I don't even wear the same pants I have used for sitting on public benches and transport cause I think it's gross.

It's very interesting though to see such different etiquette.
