[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Like you take your shoes off in the house unless it's been confirmed that they don't want you to bother. "
I do not see that as common sense unless my shoes are muddy. No one I grew up with took shoes off (PA) except for an Asian friend whose mom was from Japan and they were obnoxiously strict about it to the point where I was invited in the house only once in the 3 years we were friends. 
I'm happy to take shoes off but think the burden lies on the host to tell guests they are "welcome" to take off their shoes.[/quote]

See I would say you have that backwards. Making a host tell their guest that they are "welcome to take off their shoes" How does that work? Please feel free to take your shoes off, no really, you really do want to take them off, your feet will feet so much more comfortable. But if you don't, then don't mind me staring at you as you track whatever is on your shoes all over my nicely clean house and the floors that the baby crawls around on. No, it's alright, we'll vacuum and mop after you leave if you don't want to bother. Just go right ahead and be rude and ignorant, we will be sure to invite you back in about 5 years when you might have learned some manners.

No, you always either take your shoes off when you go inside someone else's home, or you ask when you go inside and they can then either say "it's alright" or "if you don't mind, thank you very much".[/quote]
