Shoes off!

[DimPrawn]

I sometimes get confused and call my contractors "carpets"

Is that cos you walk all over them?

[EternalOptimist]

I dont think Tay gets it.
There are two extremes here, people who trail doggie into the house and dont care, and people who want to live in a bubble like Whacko Jacko. Tay is a bit extreme so he gets a load of abuse

Live in a bubble?

I just ask people to take their shoes off when entering my house. Just the spoilt brat liberal lefties that take offence at being asked to do something they dont want to do... I might be impinging on their human rights...

If I went to someone elses house I do whatever the owner of the house does with their shoes.

What if friends and family came over, and you requested they take their shoes off..and they either: -

1) had holes in their socks?
2) had really smelly feet
3) had odd socks on
4) had no socks on and scabs all over their toes or something

?

Would it mean more to you that your carpet was protected, rather than the embarrassment/feelings of your guests?

oooh look at the clever question from the ginger!

1) had holes in their socks?

Wouldnt care, and if they did, they will be more careful chosing socks next time.

2) had really smelly feet

I dont know Moscow mule or Cahrles Foster Kane (or the other bottom feeders on this thread) and if I did I wouldnt invite the smelly buggers over.

3) had odd socks on

Wouldnt care, and if they did, they will be more careful chosing socks next time.

4) had no socks on and scabs all over their toes or something

Humans flake skin all the time, most of the dust in the house is supposedly shed skin, no problem. Rather have that than dog poo and snot from peoiple spitting on the streets walked through the house. You aint ever going to have a perfectly clean house, but you can at least try the simple things to avoid being completely disgusting.

Which reminds me of my other pet peeve..... people spitting in the street.

There was an old man from Darjeeling,
Who got on a bus bound for Ealing.
It said on the door,
"Do not spit on the floor"
So he carefully spat on the ceiling.

So in summary, you couldn't give a toss about their feelis then?

I do like your style...and you almost won me over with that "spoilt brat can't stand being told what to do" post. I agree, people should be the masters of their own homes.

I'm the other extreme - I'm weak as pi55 I had 2 people smoke in my house the other week, and I just sat and said nothing. I felt like I'd been smoke raped

I do now applaud you for not giving a t*ss about people's feelings and doing what you want

Have you ever considered a job in the Labour party?

[BoredBloke]

Ok from now on I'm going to master in my own home and get all attractive women who enter my house to take all their clothes off just like I'll be doing - when the wife is out obviously.
