How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house?
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?
You're viewing a single thread.
TIL I learned some people wear shoes all the time. What a time to be alive.
These are the same assholes who sound like a jackhammer when they walk in apartments.
Your neighbors probably aren’t particularly loud, your landlord cheaped out on sound insulation. And probably regular insulation.
My parents had this mini dachshund.
If you were downstairs and she decided to run the ~5 pound dog…. Well let’s just say we nicknamed her “thunder paws”
I have an old cat who is 7lbs soaking wet. Wife calls it the exorcist when running around upstairs.
it was truly impressive. you could always tell when someone started cooking- especially if they so much as glanced at the carrots.... (she knew she got the tips, it was her treat....Vet recommended for training. Just chop them into tiny nibs.)
even if you didn't break out the carrots.... She was hopeful something would fall. It was amazing, at how even when she was 18; she could go from old-lady-napping to rug-shark scarfing up whatever just fell before it ever touches the ground.
¿Porqué no los dos?
Well my 250lbs upstairs neighbor makes the ceiling creak and groan, but the jackhammering they did to fix the slab on the apartment behind mine rattled my bed.
I learned from TV, American shows like Seinfeld or Simpsons where the characters are always wearing shoes. Growing up in Canada we didn't do that and I thought it was weird
I have been rewatching Friends and it drives me nuts. They regularly jump on top of the couch and the coffee table with their outside shoes on...
That's super dependent on the social group.
Mr Rogers had inside and outside shoes so that's the end of the line, champ
You come from outside
You keep your shoes on
Sounds like it dirties up your apartment and is lazy, but okay, it's about laziness I guess
You come from outside
You switch to different shoes
Makes no sense to me. Why would you do that?
It is a mixture of things. Carpet gets dirty quicker and is harder to clean than hard floors. Hard floors are worse for your feet, ankles, knees, and cause more pain. It is healthier to walk on hard floors with shoes on, padding and carpet wasn't much of a deal (closer to grass).
Many people are moving to house shoes, I personally don't like them. But then again I don't like walking on tile floors for long periods of time either. It encourages sitting/laying down more often.
We just have those regular carpets (not whole floor carpeting) and socks inside. Don't have to clean the carpets very often and isn't hard on the feet or anything.
Wait that's not just artists being lazy?
So is it not rude to leave your shoes on in some places?
Uh ya, it’s called TV not real life.
They are on set, not in their comfy house.
At least that explains Seinfeld. Not sure why they would do it in the simpsons. I’d imagine it’s because the writer does this shit at home too like a savage.
That's just their workplace. They aren't going to stop to have Kremer take off his shows. Also for people like Tom Cruise, the shows are used to change the perception of height.
