Glorious hair for a dude

To be constantly contamination free bare foot indoor, you need to mop your floor every 2-3 days, which is a lot of work whatever the surface area you live in.

I've debated and flipflopped between dashing and tiptoeing when I need to wear my shoes inside. My theory is that the aggressive impacts of a dash will actually knock loose more contaminants and so it's better to take it slow.

Ashamed to say I actually did this in Japan. That exact dance.

I cannot disagree with any part of this bit, and do it myself
Howlingowl
Of course. It’s backed by science.

With wood floors, I'm more lenient with my indoor shoe wearing since it's easier to clean it if needed. But carpet, I cringe when I wear shoes on carpet.

My robot takes care of that. Vacuums and mops in my absence.

Rule in Thailand, take of your shoes if there is a Buddha statue inside, goes for small stores also
GravyEducation
It's also why if you see somebody mopping up and you can't avoid it, you take particularly careful steps. Your goal is to a) avoid slipping but b) minimize the amount of surface contact.
Talori
And C) visibly show them that you are aware your presence in that moment is not ideal and that you are doing what you can to minimise the impact out of respect for their time and efforts. I mean, that wording makes it sound performative, but I think people need to feel their work is acknowledged and appreciated and it helps
NefariousGoop
I mean it is performative but not in a bad way. You're exaggerating and performing a bit to drive the point that you understand the situation.

Dude's special was awesome. Reminded me of Mitch Hedberg.
chimpo64
That's a strong recommendation.
chefsoda
Very much. The deadpan delivery is spot on.
TheRicM
Notes of Felipe Esparza also in the delivery
garbuhj
I liked his first one better but both are very good
IMakeLotsOfReferencesAndRemakes
Have you seen both the ones on Netflix? This is "Purple" but he has another called "Sweet & Juicy"
KingOfTheImgurians
I saw his first one, but if he has another, then YAY!

I'm still surprised by the fact that americans wear their shoes inside. Greetings from Finland, where practicly everyone takes their shoes off when they go inside.
ThereAreChameleonsEverywhereProbably
Honestly most people in the US that I know don't. Very rarely have I seen someone walk into someone's house without asking "what should I do with/where can I put my shoes." The only place where it's like socially acceptable to have your shoes on is the entryway / space between the door and the spot where people put their shoes. Sometimes exceltions are made for like parties or bbqs where theres a lot of going in and out. But beyond that it's just sorta rude.
zombiejedediah
If the outside is usually wet or muddy - all of the Nordics - shoes come off.
If the outside is usually dry - the Med - shoes stay on.
Unless, Muslim.
ChiLLeCheeze
I sure as shit don't want people dragging dog shit around my house. I've only had one person get offended, but it's my place so fuck em.
MyCatsAreTypingThis
Plenty of us don't, but I'd agree it's more common here than in other countries. My shoes come off at my door, but sometimes in the summer I leave my shoes on if I anticipate going back outside shortly and am just grabbing a drink or something.
TheRicM
Indoor shoes or flip flops is where it's at. Otherwise everyone is sharing toe funk on the floor
BranDohCalrissian
When I get home, I change into my house slippers like Mr. Rogers
mirG7
There is no toe funk if feet are regularly washed. With soap. BETWEEN THE TOES
relsky
Can confirm. If someone has toe funk they sure as shit aren't coming into my house.
poopfromabove
Practically everyone in America does too.
graceinsheepsclothing
That's not true at all.
laurapede83
Greetings from America, where I hand you a paper set of slippers if you're a guest. Just sorta kidding, had to do in home rehab for orthopedic surgeries and every single medical personnel entering my little apt actually had a small bag of surgical booties and would not enter unless they had them on.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Contractors do that where I live. That, or take their shoes off.
