Willful ignorance is certainly a take.

Aye. Funny, that.

Fwiw, it’s really refreshing to see this acknowledged.

Naw, just replying to pompousness and scrubbing my floors furiously.

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.

🧟‍♀️

It’s not a demand at all from me and no need to be rude, but yes, some do.

Not in my home. But of course one should respect whatever is asked of them.

Guests take precedence. That’s my cultural position. Otherwise, I do whatever I want in my home and clean up after as habit, regardless. Sometimes I wear shoes.

Sweet. I wouldn’t demand that they did. Lol.

Put you shoes back on in my house!

You obviously choose your guests wisely, and surely they are as witty as you.

Also, I have actual dogs and they don’t take off their shoes either.

My guests would not piss in my plants anymore than they would participate in exaggerated hyperbole.

I take in guests as they are and don’t demand anything more of them than what would deny them as guests to begin with.

Agreed. I just think the guest takes precedence. It is a privilege to have them, and not taking off shoes isn’t really a big deal to us.

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.

Idrgaf, but generally I see it as disrespectful to demand a guest remove their shoes. They are a guest in my home.

It was the first language I studied early on in school. But I visited cern a few times for work and really struggled to speak even though I tried to keep up with it, along with Spanish and German. That’s when I decided to commit to just French, for now.

Je ne parle pas très bien français, mais j’essaie!

Broken people breaking societies

Respectfully disagree. Adding layers is limiting and my wrists are still cold.
