[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes!I would leave if someone said I had to take my shoes off at a formal party. That is incredibly rude and presumptuous. Hard no for me. And I wouldn't want to be friends with anyone that controlling about their OCD. Several of you clearly have OCD issues.[/quote]

Dont go to Japan i guess. [/quote]

Or South Asia. [/quote]

Into Eastern Europe, Russia, Sweden, parts of Africa,  Central Asia, nor East Asia. [/quote]

It’s about doing what is culturally polite in the country you are in. In the US it is rude to insist people remove their shoes at a holiday party. [/quote]

Obviously it’s not a cultural norm since so many people are telling you the opposite here. We live in downtown Manhattan and if you didn’t step on a surface contaminated with dog poop, it was human poop, or a dead rat before walking into the apartment. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t take off their shoes before entering their homes, and most keep their shoes outside in a vestibule if you are lucky enough to have one. We live in the most expensive zip code in Manhattan and just the other day, my kids notified me that I was unknowingly standing on a flattened rat on our cobblestone street. The whole city is filthy. I have been to many holiday parties in ny for the decade I have lived there and I can only remember one in which we kept our shoes on. [/quote]
