I never wear shoes in the house, it is discusting, all the dirt that people bring in from their shoes is just grose. We have wooden floors throughout the house, and when people walk inside with their shoes on, they seem to make a trail of dirt that I can see! Most people know that we dont like people to have their shoes on when they are in our house, but it does not stop them. I think it is also my FIL that is the worst, he is a council worker and wears bloodstones all the time, he will never take them off and they leave scuff marks all over the floor. arg!! he just doesnt care, but when he is at his home, he will always have them off. I dont get that. Our sign out the front is quite clear, people are just rude imo when they leave them on.
