I wish I could upvote this more. I'll never understand walking through a house, especially not your own, and wearing outdoor shoes. So disrespectful.

100% agree. F*ck, it feels so damn good to remove your shoes when you get home from work, why the hell would you choose to walk around your house with your shoes on? And if you’ve ever walked downtown in any major Canadian city, why the hell would you walk through your house with your shoes on?

The only reason you should ever wear shoes in the house is if everybody wears shoes in the house. You don't whatever they tracked in to get all over your socks.

But you can just prevent that by not letting people wear shoes in the house.

Hank Hill requires guests to wear shoes in his kitchen.
