This was a big deal in my family. My mom would be pissed at anyone who walked into the house with their shoes on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-make-guests-remove-their-shoes#post-81194 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 22:56:17 +0000 SAHM0811 81194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most people who come over see our shoes by the front door and take theirs off without question. If someone does ask, I ask them to, yes. </p> <p>... and it's especially an issue now because our baby crawls around :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-make-guests-remove-their-shoes#post-81182 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 22:39:46 +0000 yoursilverlining 81182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't ask people to remove their shoes, but it annoys me when people leave their shoes on. We never wear shoes inside, and most of our friends remove their shoes in our home (and in their own), so it usually works out. I almost always remove my shoes at other people's homes, unless its obvious that everyone is leaving their shoes on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-make-guests-remove-their-shoes#post-81176 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 22:36:46 +0000 joyjoy 81176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have to ask either. It's just automatic for friends/family to take off their shoes in the entryway. Actually, I don't think I've ever asked. People just did it. I always take off my shoes when I go to other people's homes, too. I'm not from Canada, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-make-guests-remove-their-shoes#post-81136 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 22:03:36 +0000 leelee 81136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually don't have to ask. People usually see the shoes outside and get the hint. I dont see the point in wearing shoes in the house either and tracking dirt everywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-make-guests-remove-their-shoes#post-81128 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:58:13 +0000 mediagirl 81128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: Well, I have had three separate friends here who are originally from Canada. All of them have the no shoes in the house rule. One friend told me it is habit for them because usually you come in with snow boots on and can't wear those around the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-make-guests-remove-their-shoes#post-81052 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:25:08 +0000 hilsy85 81052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, absolutely. I hate it when people wear shoes in our house. We only bend the rules when we have a lot of people over for a large family dinner or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-make-guests-remove-their-shoes#post-81043 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:23:00 +0000 Cchoi4 81043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always remove shoes in our house. The only people who don't automatically remove their shoes when they enter our home are delivery/installation people, painters, etc. All friends, family, guests remove shoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-make-guests-remove-their-shoes#post-81036 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:20:15 +0000 heffalump 81036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I don't care about shoes. My brother always does though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-make-guests-remove-their-shoes#post-81035 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 21:19:36 +0000 Grace 81035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Is it a Canadian thing to remove shoes? Do people generally not remove shoes in the US? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-make-guests-remove-their-shoes#post-80939 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:49:31 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 80939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't ask. Neither of us had to do that growing up so we don't think twice about wearing shoes in the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-make-guests-remove-their-shoes#post-80928 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:47:16 +0000 banana 80928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes yes yes. I don't understand wearing shoes in the house either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-make-guests-remove-their-shoes#post-80913 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:43:37 +0000 chopsuey 80913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't wear shoes at home, so yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-make-guests-remove-their-shoes#post-80835 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:06:49 +0000 Andrea 80835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even have to ask. Everyone automatically removes their shoes --- except for my MIL. Drives us nuts. We always have to ask her. She is the only person! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-make-guests-remove-their-shoes#post-80830 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:04:17 +0000 mrbee 80830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For sure! I don't understand wearing shoes in the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-do-you-make-guests-remove-their-shoes#post-80828 Thu, 23 Feb 2012 20:01:59 +0000 mediagirl 80828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have never asked people to remove their shoes at our house but I have one friend who always scuffs my floors with her heels. I would love to ask her to remove hers.... I have friends from Canada that always remove their shoes when they come over and ask that we do the same at their home. They are just used it from home.</p> <p>Do you ask guests to remove their shoes when they come to your house? </p>
