Subject: Taking shoes off inside your home - are you offended?
PP, well said. You are a better person than I. When people get defensive in my house about taking off their shoes, I can't help but think (not say) "white trash".

We are a "take off the shoes" house.
Most people just do the obvious when the see the pile of shoes. Some don't, and I just let it be. I never ask, unless their shoes are wet.
When I have a party, some do and some don't. I just don't sweat it.
All of our houses are fairly disgusting if we look to close.

Interesting, you do know that a wet towel or baby wipe will have little effect on germs. It what you are worried about is dirt a nice mat at the door should do the trick instead of taking shoes off.
Hehehe, you really think a nice door mat keeps your house clean?!?!?! Hilarious!
Hehehe, you really think that wiping your dog's feet and taking off your shoes means that you do not otherwise have to clean your house and that there is more to your house than the floors.

No actually, I use a mop, water and some cleaning agent for that.

Try the wipe test. Wipe the bottom of a shoe with a damp paper towel. This is what you leave behind in your house.
OK, I'm confused. You don't permit shoes in the house, but you have a dog (who presumably goes outside)? How do you reconcile this?
Not the PP you quoted, but in our no-shoe household, we wipe the dogs' feet with a towel and then baby wipes. It's not that big of a deal!
