Please, keep your shoes on for I fear:
In the dark
Where all the fevers grow
Under the water
(water)
Where the shark bubbles blow
In the mornin
(mornin)
By yer radio
(radio!)
Do the walls close in tsuffocate ya
You aint got no friends . . .
An all the others: they hate ya
Does the life you been leadin gotta go?
Well, let me straighten you out
About a little russian restaurant I know . . .
(get yer shoes n socks on people, it's right aroun the corner!)
Out through the night
An the whisperin breezes
To the place where they keep
The imaginary diseases
Out through the night
An the whisperin breezes
To the place where they keep
The imaginary diseases . . .
Now scientists call this disease bromidrosis
(that's right!)
And well they should
Even napoleon knows that
But us regular folks
Who might wear a tennis shoe
Or an occasional python boot
Know this exquisite little inconvenience by the name of:
Stink foot
Yknow, my python boot is too tight
I couldnt get it off last night
A week went by, an now it's july
I finally got it off
An my girl-friend cry
You got stink foot! stink foot, darlin
Your stink foot puts a hurt on my nose!
Stink foot! stink foot! I aint lyin,
Can you rinse it off, dyou suppose?
Here fido . . . fido . . .
Here fido . . . bring the slippers little puppy
Yes, that's a good dog! yes!
Arf, arf, arf!
[crash-crumble-bump-bump-bump]
Sick . . .
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
We have a song for you about flying saucers
This song is going to be sung for you by george
And the name of the song is inca roads

See, this is where being an **** and having no concern for "feelings" comes in handy. I will readily tell anyone, even my own parents, to knock that **** off. I typically don't have such problems because of that. Sometimes I do and people make stupid faces when they get yelled at, like no one ever yelled at them before for being themselves. Besides, I have other things to put your feet on, like ottomans, which are intended for such activities.
If you want lessons on how to be an ****, just tell me, I'll gladly pass on my wisdom! I mean, I am quite good at it and what's use of being so go at something and not being able to share it?
On the flip side, sometimes, I find, it's easier to just not have friends.

We don't do the "shoes off" in the house thing, as we feel that is ill-mannered as a host, but all our high traffic areas are tile, so that helps. Afterall, it's a home, not a museum. We like people to feel comfortable/at home in our house. I won't go to a house that requires me to remove my (clean) shoes, for 2 reasons; 1) I have a "clean sock" fetish 2) It's ignorant in my opinion to require your guest to walk around in sock feet..If you're that anal, perhaps you shouldn't entertain?
Though Bev & I both smoke, we don't smoke in the house, nor do we allow anyone else to--that's what the 70's mancave (garage) is for.
Feet on the furniture is different, that's just poor manners.Source: Bluesound Node 2i - Preamp/DAC: Benchmark DAC2 DX - Amp: Parasound Halo A21 - Speakers: MartinLogan Motion 60XTi - Shop Rig: Yamaha A-S501 Integrated - Shop Spkrs: Elac Debut 2.0 B5.2 -
Trey, if it makes you feel any better I'll bring a Sharpie next time I put my work boots on your coffee table. :biggrin:~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~

I have very nice furniture, very nice floors and my wife and I do like to keep it clean and presentable. I do however believe that my house as a whole is a wear item and that periodically, some things will need to be refinished, repaired or replaced. We hold the opinion that whatever makes people comfortable in our home and allows us to spend the most quality time with them is ok with us. The only thing that I have ever asked anyone to do is remove a drink from on top of one of my LS-50's. I wouldn't have really rude and messy people in my life for the most part, so I don't mind cleaning up a little more after my friends and family that spend time with us. Besides, a little wear makes a home looked loved and lived in and not so much like a museum."I drank what?" Socrates :eek:

I love it when folks get a new sofa and immediately cover it with clear vinyl ! A cow could dump on it and..........no damage. Sqeaky to sit on though!:frown:

We wear shoes you can too, But keep them off my things other then recliners and ottomens. Mostly we're barefoot tho, its nice living in Fl. no cold floors.

I put my feet (no shoes) on our coffee table and its nice...but I would never think of doing it at someone else's house unless they did it...and I still wouldn't do it with shoes.
That is pretty rude...maybe invest in some ottomans?

Our coffee table in the family room is a leather ottoman, and we still don't allow shoes on it.My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself.

^^^Dang, what did you buy it for then? Looks?^^^
Upon entering one's house.......Asking to take off one's shoes is "out". It's flat out rude.
Don't get me wrong Rivrrat, but dang. You purchase something that is meant to put feet up on and relax and then you deny it? I just don't get it.
Yes, there are different class of folks but why would you purchase an ottoman whose sole existence is to relax and be comfortable and then turn around and say no?~ In search of accurate reproduction of music.

If directed to remove my shoes upon entering a house, I will.
..... than, after all the wailing and gnashing of teeth subsides to a dull roar, I'll put my shoes back on as a gesture of mercy.
A prime example of "Be careful what you ask for".
Shoes shouldn't wind up on coffee tables unless you can clearly see the host doesn't mind.Sal Palooza -
Wow these responses are very surprising to me.....different culture I guess.
In these parts taking your shoes off when entering someones house is just automatic. It would be shocking that someone did not remove their shoes, and leaving them on would be viewed as extremely rude.

Ummm..Leather. Would you curl up on a leather couch wearing shoes?
We put our feet on it all day long sans shoes.My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself. -

Same here, it's automatic to remove shoes and our guests do it as well. Unless someone says "don't worry about your shoes". I think it might stem from having winters, as there is no way you'd keep them on full of slush, dirt, salt, dog crap..... The same thing in spring and fall it's always muddy. If it were dry all the time, then maybe we would act differently. -
I don't always remove my shoes, but I always make sure to brush my feet off very well on the mat or whatever they have.
It really depends on the house I suppose.....with some where you see shoes at the entry, obviously they come off.
For my house, I made sure to tile between both entry ways so I have plenty of room to walk around and I generally remove my shoes therecomment comment comment comment. bitchy.
