Anyway, lunatic friend, my pants fit precisely the way they were supposed to fit. I intend to wear them with heels. I have other pants that I intend to wear with flats. When I dress up, I like a heel, which is a choice and not a tailoring deficiency. When I take the heels off, they no longer fit the way they are supposed to fit. [/quote]

Lunatic friend here.
Congratulations for buying the right size pants.
In the future, consider rolling your pants hem up, or telling the friend what wonderful pants you have and how you cannot take your shoes off.
Or, do not visit that friend.

Has no-one considered refusing to take off shoes? The request is taken as God's Word that THOU shalt not DISOBEY. That is why people are fighting, right?
So what is so wrong with refusing?
Or rolling up the hem of the pants?

I am totally confused, I do not visit the homes of DCUM folks. Please enlighten me

Loonie tunes,

Next time I will rely upon your sage advice and tell my friend that my pants are more wonderful than his floors. It is, after all, nothing less than the truth. As for rolling up my hem to accomodate his delusions about cleanliness, as another poster mentioned, floors are [u]designed[/u] to be walked on but my wonderful pants, are not [u]designed[/u] to be rolled. I won't be visiting his house again either way!

In any case, I'm sure most folks who ask people to remove their shoes are not as gross as this person was, but still. What if a person was wearing sandals? Must they walk around in their bare feet in a person's house? And I mean, who wins there, anyway? Multiple strangers walking around barefoot is not exactly clean and hygenic. I personally would prefer scuff marks over a wicked case of athlete's foot, but maybe that's just me. And of course, it's not like shoes in the house are really going to do that much damage anyway, now, are they?

And really, how well would "I'd rather not," go over? Most of us try to be polite, so when I was asked to take off my shoes, I did. I also made a mental note to never go back there again, and we haven't. Neither have about 90 percent of the others he invited to the party, and everyone still talks about the time he made us take off his shoes and walk all over the cat litter.
