To some people in some parts of the world. Some of us may find it rather declasse.
My sentiments, actually. I guess if it's a cultural thing, you wouldn't want to offend the person; but some of this (taking your shoes off before you enter my home) almost seems like OCD.
There's a girl that I work with, who keeps her house scrupuously clean; but didn't care about who she slept around with. When it came to house cleaning, she says that she didn't raise "no ho's and b*tches"!? I was like, OH, Okay??
Who was the person on this thread that said that they'd send someone home if they didn't take their shoes off for the book study? That person that you sent home was, probably, thinking thank you Jesus!
I don't like to go over to people homes where I can't get comfortable, matter of fact, I don't like going anywhere. I like to stick to my own little dusty cluttered home; and I'd like for others to do the same. I'm sort of an agoraphobic.
I would swear that when my children went over to other people's home that they'd pick up a virus! No bull, it seemed like it happened everytime. I don't care how clean the person's house was. My children and me are all allergic to cats and dogs. Hell, I'm not only allergic of cats, I'm scared of them!
Back to the shoes and feet...I don't want anybody taking their shoes off in my house because they could have fungus of the feet or some other toe jelly in there/on there.
Maybe, I have OCD??
