[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel so funny about this situation. Playdate with a newer friend. We had never been to their house before. When we arrived, we entered through their side door and she promptly asked us to take our shoes off. Of course, we did. When it was time to leave, my child and I sat and put our sneakers back on. We went to exit out the kitchen door but there was a sprinkler running right in front of the door. I said "could we go out the front?" and she said "sure!" so we walked through the house and left though the front. Apparently, she later complained to a mutual friend that we walked through their house with shoes on, when she made it clear they were a no-shoe house. Now I feel terribly embarrassed. I'm annoyed that she left out the detail about the sprinkler, but I still wish I had just taken off our shoes to walk through. Is that an obvious thing to do?

We never ask guests to take off their shoes so I have a different perspective. [/quote]

We do not wear shoes in the inside as a rule.  It's disgusting if you actually think about what happens when you do.  My friends and guests know we don't wear shoes and take them off.  We offer socks and flip flops (new) if they want. If I ask you to take your shoes off and you ignore me,  yeh I talk about you. [/quote]
