[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to have friends (a couple) who managed to wear their shoes in the house, without fail -- usually by putting them on on the other side of the living room so they would have to walk across the room to get to the door, instead of putting them on on their way out.

I put up with it for a really long time, even though it bothered me. They were just disrespecting my wishes. Without fail. We're no longer friends.

OP, you should apologize. Next time respect someone's wishes in their own home.[/quote]

OMG dramatic. She took her shoes off initially, and only wore them in the house because her hostess rudely wouldn't turn off a sprinkler that she would have had to walk through to leave the house. If I were the hostess, I would be embarrassed at being so ungracious. [/quote]

The point of the 'no-shoes' rule is to not walk around the house in shoes. That's the entire point. It's not some social dance where the host gets to tell the guest to take off their shoes, and once they're done taking them off they've satisfied their obligation and can put them back on again. The point is to not walk around in shoes. OP walked around in her shoes, defeating the purpose. She is dense.

[b]I also think the friend who told her what the 'no shoes' mom said was totally out of line. What a hurtful thing to repeat. I would never feel close to someone who is so unkind.[/b][/quote]

If someone is talking shit about me behind my back, my true friends will tell me. I'd rather know so I can cut that person out of my life. [/quote]
