is this too rude?

[jesses_girl]

I just moved into our own place and we have polished floors, i love them and i tell visitors to take their shoes off i dont care, my house, my rules. Although one of my friends has ocd and she cant not wear shoes so she brings some slippers. I appreciate this and i let her know. Just dont look too hard at the floors cause you'll see the scratches!

I don't think it's rude at all.. i think it's actually quite a polite way to do it.
I would LOVE to ask ppl to take their shoes off and we don't even have special floors, it's just cos i am over filthy carpets and being the only one to clean them.

I don't think it's rude at all...actually I think it's rude for people NOT to take their shoes off when they visit other people's houses, unless the host says don't worry about it... I was brought up with not being allowed to wear shoes inside so maybe it's just because of that...I wear shoes occasionally inside but mostly leave them in the spare room at the front of the house.
I would never just walk into someone else's house with my shoes still on!

I always automatically remove my shoes when visiting people unless they say to leave them on.
I've seen little signs next to doors asking people to take their shoes off. I don't think it's rude at all to ask and your idea sounds great

I don't think it's rude at all. The sign is a very nice way of putting it. I've been to peoples houses who simply has signs near the front door that say "Please remove shoes before entering"
