I know! Well, now I want to report that I have a no shoe house but it’s on a voluntary basis. Meaning guests don’t have to comply.

Also, I keep lots of toilet paper in the bathrooms along with a plunger & a plastic knife.

Plastic knife?!?!?

You have not been around DCUM long enough...

Someone please explain. What’s the knife for? Are people eating while pooping?

Never EVER eat with the plastic bathroom knife!

It's my MIL's job, I guess, to gather them up at some point in the day, and wash them and replace them. If you get to the shower late, sometimes all that is left is the pile of wet towels on the floor. It is really weird and wasteful to me (and gross when I have to dry off with a towel off the floor).

What's really weird is that you haven't yet figured out to *pack your own towel.* Used floor towels would not be an option for me.

My inlaws have apparently never heard of turning a doorknob instead of just slamming the door shut. Especially when they get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. Makes me crazy! Even my little kids know how to turn the knob before shutting the door so it's quiet.

Lol. No. I am not going to wash my feet every time I leave the house in case I stumble into a house where people people find it so overinconvenient to allow people in, that they do not allow them to where shoes.

You don't wash your feet every day??? It's not hard!

Not everyone showers everyday. Surely you're an adult out in the world and aware of this and therefore could forgo the drama of three question marks.

People who don't bathe daily but use rubbing alcohol on a rag to clean themselves.

From cold feet, to holey socks, to athlete’s foot, there are a lot of reasons why some of us are more comfortable with shoes on and need some sort of heads-up if we must remove them.

That’s a reflection more on you than on them. Don’t wear socks with holes, and clean/treat your damn feet! It shouldn’t be a matter of concern to take your shoes off!

Well obv a lot of people don't feel that way so - if you do spring it on guests they're taking off their shoes, expect some folks to be disgruntled.

I especially hate it when the host is having a party. I really don’t want to see the nasty bare feet of your 20 guests.

What is it with people calling everything nasty and gross?

Back to the shoes - I can't believe people think it is more hygienic for guests to wander around in their disgusting bare feet than to wear their shoes! Yuck ...

My in laws keep an old (expired) insurance card on their kitchen sink to use when washing dishes for scraping food out of pans, plates, etc.

I still don’t get what the knife is for. I don’t know how to search on here

The plastic knife in the bathroom is for slicing up your turds in case they are too big to flush. The whole "suggestion" of keeping a plastic knife in the bathroom for this purpose came from a DCUM thread a couple years ago.

OMG. That is disgusting. Do people actually do that? I’ve never heard of this before.
