[quote=Anonymous]The great majority of our guests see our shoes lined up at the door, and see that we are not wearing shoes, and ask "do you want us to take our shoes off?" (I did not grow up in a shoes-off house-- and my own parents are the only offenders I can think of.) Because etiquette is important to me, and the comfort of our guests is paramount, I always reply "if you're comfortable, sure, but it's up to you." I understand that some people simply feel naked without shoes, and I never want someone to be uncomfortable in my home. If I were seriously OCD about it, I could vacuum after they leave. And I have. On a slight tangent, I don't understand people who walk around their houses in the same shoes they wear on DC's filthy streets. It is impossible to avoid bringing really nasty stuff-- think urine, spit, spilled and spoiled foods-- into your house on the bottoms of your shoes. And then your kids play on those floors! [/quote]
