Literally every country outside the US.

I've been in homes in six countries outside the US and was never asked to remove my shoes.

That’s because you should know better and take them off without being told like a five-year-old. In what situation would anyone ever need shoes INSIDE a house? Shoes are for outside, are you going for a run or walking over dangerous terrain in the house?

After you step in dog crap, vomit, smashed up worms, and whatever else is outside on the ground, I don't want you tracking it into my living room carpet or onto my furniture (because I know you'll put the feet on the furniture if you'll wear shoes in the house).

When I lived in Japan, they went a step further: you didn't just take shoes off in the house, you wore a separate set of shoes (technically, flip flops) only in the house; no bare feet.

this thread is amazing! From shoes off, which I agree with, to sitting when peeing at someone's house, to Trump. Wow. I never thought of sitting to pee at someone's house? I would have to make a toilet paper nest, as I do not like my bottom sitting on strange seats.

I also think it’s courteous if you’re a man to pee sitting down when in someone else’s home. Otherwise your pee is splashing all over their toilet rim and bathroom floor. Gross!

I heard there are people that do this?

I know one couple that broke up because the guy didn’t like taking of his shoes and his girlfriend required it?

I never have taken my shoes off. But when I see shoes by the door, I take mine off. It's THEIR house! I respect their rules for their house!!!

So when you were having a party at your house in high school, doing drugs, drinking, trying to get laid, all of you were sitting around in your socks? Shoes make you powerful. Walking around in socks with friends reduces you to a child coming over to play with toys.

Real men wear shoes inside. You think John Wayne is going to come over and walk around your house in his socks? Not going to happen.
