take off my wha?

it's the worst. simply the Worst, after entering the front door seeing 17 pairs of shoes lined (piled) up OR the folks you are with begin bending down to remove theirs OR the ever so polite words 'would you please remove your shoes' ... Really?
preface: if it's rainy/muddy/slushy/snowy i'll be the first in line to shed the lil trackers.
BUT if the case is not that ... Really?
if you bought white carpet, hint #one: don't buy white carpet - it is to be Walked on afterall ... cause it goes on the floor, ya.
so what? are the bottoms of feet cleaner than the shoe? that's a gamble.
-there are sometimes embarrassing holes in socks, blisters, bunyons, warts, chipped polish etc that folks don't want to show off.
my feet'll get cold - trust me.
my shoes are much more comfortable - trust me.
if this is a failed attempt to appear pristine and proper, good luck cause never before has there been a floor upon which i've walked barefoot where i ain't stepped on Something that stuck. i'm not making your floor dirty with my shoes, you're making my feet yickity by forcing em off'a me.
