How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house?

newbeni@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 115 points –

I have been reading a lot lately about not wearing outside shoes in the house and it interests me even more because I've been saving to re-carpet my whole house. It hits me every now and then about how to do things though, like, say I'm cooking all day on Sunday then need to take the trash out. I'm assuming it's change shoes, then say the grandkids stop by and want to go go for a bike ride? I'm assuming it's change shoes. I guess maybe what I'm asking is how many baskets by how many doors with how many pairs of slip-ons (both indoor and out) do I need?

I don’t understand this question. Are there people who wear their filthy, disgusting shoes around their nice, clean house? What animals and monsters do this? And how do you afford to constantly sweep and mop your house five times a day to keep your house clean? Or do you actually not do this and live in a disgusting, filthy, dirt-covered house all the time?

How revolting!

I don’t even wear my outside clothes inside. I change when I get home into comfy pajama clothes to relax in.

Outside shoes …. In a carpeted house!

Throw in a fully carpeted bathroom too.

Jesus Christ, some places...

Or do you actually not do this and live in a disgusting, filthy, dirt-covered house all the time?

Sadly, in my limited experience with people who wear their shoes inside by default, it has been this one.

My house is held together by mouse shit and the chucks of flesh I've lost trying to keep it up right lol

Ya know what, I work at Home Depot. Maybe we could help you with that.

And I know Jimmy Carter is in hospice now, but I bet he knows a few people who can help!

How often do you go outside?

How often do you go outside?

I'm in and out at least ten times a day. Hauling firewood, tending a greenhouse, shoveling snow, walking to work depending on weather, going outside to enjoy nature, etc. Changing my clothes each time would be extremely impractical.

How dirty is your outside, that this is a concern? Are other places strewn with trash and excrement? The sidewalk outside my house and the grass in my yard isn't any dirtier than the century-old cottage between them.

It’s dirtier than the inside of my house, and I don’t want to track that inside.

Is that truly so difficult for you to grasp?

I think it might be more difficult for you to grasp it's not really nice to call someone doing something other than you an "animal" or a "monster."

Good lord- it's shoes man. Relax.

I didn’t call anyone anything. And if you want to track dirt and filth in your house, go right ahead. Work on your reading comprehension at the same time.

Talk about lack of reading comprehension.

Blocked. No use talking to someone like this.

You still haven’t shown me where I called anyone anything, just displayed how you see what you want to.

At least I won’t be hearing from you again.

Not everyone trudges through mud when they go out. My state has asphalt and concrete most of the places I want to walk.

I live in a major city that is almost entirely concrete, steel, and glass— I’m not trudging through any mud either. That doesn’t mean I don’t encounter filth, grime, and dirt, as would anyone.

I don’t want that in my nice, clean home. Ew.

Don’t forget spit.

Or walk into a public bathroom, or really any public space for that matter. Who knows what you are stepping in all day.

Street asphalt and concrete are incredibly dirty. Car exhaust, dust, whatever the wind brings, bird droppings, insects, trash, there is like a thousand contaminants.

Civilizations are filled with these disgusting things called humans. Hairy, greasy, smelly things, constantly touching and smearing themselves all over everything with their excretions and fluids and dandruffs… eeeuugghhh….

So gross.
