People who don't wear shoes indoors and keep their floors clean generally put their socks on in their bedroom after they got out of bed and their shoes on in the entryway when they're about to go outside.

You know, people who aren't animals.

Y'all wear socks in the house?!

[–] OR3X@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yes, because I have hardwood and tile floors. Shit's cold in the winter.

[–] Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's what house slippers, thick socks and some good rugs are for. Even if somehow you have a special pair of shoes that you only wear inside and never outside for the obvious hygiene reasons, they are probably bad for your feet compared to walking barefoot.

That's what house slippers, thick socks and some good rugs are for.

You can accomplish the same thing with just normal socks though. Slippers-without-socks is a sweaty stinky nightmare and with socks is just a hat on a hat, thick socks have the same sweat problem unless your springing for merino wool which is expensive (especially for something as transitory and utilitarian as socks), and good rugs are really fucking expensive and only make sense in certain parts of the house.

Also, sliding around pretending to ice skate.

I rarely take my socks off when I take off my shoes (unless they're wet). Not out of principal or anything, out of laziness. Later I might decide I don't feel like wearing socks any more and then take them off.

But I don't put socks on in the first place, unless I'm about to go put on shoes. If I'm not wearing socks and my feet are cold I'll get my slippers.

In the winter its unthinkable not to but in the summer it's unthinkable to wear socks. Why did my ancestors choose to settle down in Ontario where the weather is one extreme or the other

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

I love the extremes because you never get one extreme for too long. Just when the dark cold of winter starts to seep into your soul, spring rolls around, then when the storms and rain start to get too much the hot hot summer hits, then the mornings become crisp and the leafs turn every color of the rainbow for the warm seasons' last hurrah before it dives into a winter wonderland again

I guess it depends how sweaty your feet can get.

[–] luxadazy@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

compression socks on right after i get up ◡̈

When you live in a very small, uncarpeted apartment, the line between the entryway and the rest of the dwelling becomes fuzzy and permeable.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (3 children)

You do you. You don't need to pass such harsh judgment on other people for what they do.

Ya freak.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

IDK who downvoted you but they missed the obvious joke. Have my upvote.

[–] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 days ago

Ok, you got my upvote for closing with "ya freak"

This is my Roman Empire. When I find out people live with their shoes in the house I don't want to visit them again. Your willingness to drag the outside fecal matter on the floors of your supposedly clean house is a huge red flag about you as a person for me.

👉👈 But some of us DO live like animals...

I'm straddling the line between having my normal tech job and embodying the meme of the resume/linkedin that transitioned from Senior Architect at Microsoft to goose farmer.

That plus the AuDHD means I am deep into like 10 different projects at home, half of which involve the critters.

What can I say? Sometimes I'm a dirty boy.

wearing slippers inside just moves the question to slipper<slipper<shoe>shoe> or slipper<shoe>slipper<shoe>
