the only place to sit in my room is the bed so when my mate came round and sat on my bed with his feet up and shoes on a gave him a bollocking. Why the fuck would anyone do that?
Poll: Whats up with wearing shoes indoors????
- Thread starter ClunkiestTurtle

I take my shoes off at work, I take my shoes off at college, I take my shoes off at parties...
basically I don't like wearing my shoes a lot. Which is a shame because I have some fucking gorgeous shoes

Sometimes I just never take them off. Shoes aren't the first thing to come to my mind when I arrive home...
I don't take my shoes off in my house unless I'm putting my feet up - in bed, in a recliner, in a bath etc.
I can see why you don't want to track in dirt to your house, but that is why there are doormats. To get rid of the dirt before you go into the house. Also, broken glass does not care whether it is on an inside floor or on the ground outside. It is still broken glass and will cut you if you step on it.
Maybe you don't have a lot of broken glass on your houses floor, but it's still better to have a shoe to protect from, say, banging your toe against the table.

At home I always take off my shoes, and I insist that visitors do the same. It helps keep the street-dirt (and rain and snow and gum and whatever) out of my house, and besides that I simply don't like wearing shoes all day. My feet are much happier when they can get some air.
Since I live in earthquake country (Southern California), I wear shoes all the time. I don't want to run around this maze of a house without shoes when the projected "Big one" hits. Also, I live in the concrete jungle so there is very little mud to track into my house, and the rug in front of my door does a fine job of getting rid of the little amount of mud I do manage to drag in with me.
You know, you should probably drop the "I am weird"/"I am normal" things in the poll. If you want this to be a poll rather than just a discussion, you should have it be a neutral thing and not impose your values on it. Polls shouldn't have value judgments in them. Otherwise you're just asking people if they think they're weird. And I don't think I'm weird.
That's what other people are for.
And no, don't try to dismiss it as comedy (mainly because it's not actually funny). This is simply bad poll-takin. All options should be netural, or else it's going to skew the results.

Shoes pick up huge amounts of dirt and filth - even though there are relatively few carpeted areas in my house, I always take my shoes off. It's the polite thing to do, and it was how I was raised. Almost everybody I know takes off their shoes, I've never met anyone who considers that "weird".
