Only barbarians wear shoes in their own homes.
Shit, even wearing shoes in an office job can be kinda sus.
edit: DOWNVOTE ME HARDER YOU FILTHY BARBARIAN HORDE, you know in your heart of hearts that I'm right
I work in a cubical, and I take my shoes off before putting my feet under the desk. If it was more accepted I'd take them off outside my cube, but, I live in a country that likes shoes on.
See, you get it
SAME HERE
I often take my shoes off as soon as I can be where nobody will notice them. Under my desk is a no shoes zone.
Same. I have this balance board in my office and it doesn't even work with shoes on.
--Edit--
Removed the brand name from the comment.
Nubby balance board for anyone else who was curious
That link shows them using it with shoes on for what it’s worth.
Whoops, sorry about advertising. Didn't think about that before posting.
The IT guys putting you pc equipment together hate you.
Worst desks I crawled under were for people who would wear their winter boots. Desks where people change into seperate shoes just in socks or slippers were much preferred.
Fun fact, I'm the IT guy lol I dont have to go around the office much, most my day is at my desk also as an IT guy I'd rather crawl under someone's desk that never put their shoes under there. After walking around the office, in the bathroom, outside on the side walk in your shoes, your socked feet are cleaner.
IT guy's wearing Birkenstocks
I once had dedicated office slippers under my desk
I'm also team office slippers. They're so snuggly!
shoes off in the office??
Oh yeah, I've worked in a bunch of offices where the policy was to leave shoes at the door, or to change into office slippers etc. It's not at all uncommon in Helsinki; keeps the office clean in the months when the streets are full of slush and grime
Sounds comfy...
It is! And makes the place feel a bit more human, somehow
Back when I went to an office every day, I usually wore loafers. Easy to slip off and on under your desk without drawing lots of attention.
Ain't no way I'm taking my shoes off in the office unless I know for a fact that the floor is clean AF.
That'd be the point, yeah
I would never make such a demand of a guest in my home. They are my guest and I will feed them and clean up after.
Don't need a doormat when you are one I guess
You obviously choose your guests wisely, and surely they are as witty as you.
Don't have to when living in a country where keeping your shoes on indoors at someone else's house would be incredibly rude
I don't mind prioritizing the guest over the host. So, that is how I operate in my home and no one is being rude. Not that either approach is wrong. But, given the rudeness I've encountered here it dosen't feel like avoiding rudeness is the driving factor.
You're still that salty over some random joke comment?
You can send me the therapy bill
Naw, just replying to pompousness and scrubbing my floors furiously.
