Could someone please explain to me WHY people have floors that you cant wear shoes on? What the heck is the point?
Allow me to explain my issue:
I AM NOT ALLOWED TO WEAR HEELS IN MY HOUSE!!!!
Argh! Anybody who knows me understands that I LIVE in high heels! I own three pairs of flat shoes, Runners for running, Thongs for taking out the rubbish and a cute pair of Gladiators.
If I could, I would sleep in my heels.
When i first moved into my beautiful North Shore apartment with my room-mate it seemed nothing could bring me down off the high of the subtle yet mind blowingly amazing, modern house that I was paying very little rent to live in...That was until Roomy and I decided to go out... Of course, I had to get changed out of my daggy (flat shoed) moving clothes and into a nice sparkly/fluffy singlet, a pair of Skinny Jeans and my favourite pair of nude Tony Biancos... Should have seen the look on my Room-Mates face! It looked like I had just killed his mother using a kitten as a smothering device!!!
'OFF THE FLOOR' he practically screamed!!! I tip toed off the floor,ensuring my heels left no dents and came back with a shocked expression.
Since then it has been an on-going joke between me and well, me. I frequently make fun of roomy for paying a fortune to have floors that people aren't allowed to walk on... Now, I will admit, they are exceptionally nice floors and he takes care of them so that they are immaculate but couldn't he find a floor that was durable and looked pretty????
This isn't the first time this has happened to me. My Aunt built a house in the middle of the sticks and my first visit over there I almost ended up with amputated legs!!! Again, it was an on-going joke for me that I didn't understand why you would have a floor that someone cant walk on!
Then there was the time I went to my friends house when I was in high school, again, newly built... This time I wasn't wearing heels, due to the school uniform policy (and my disgust) I was wearing sandals... I just walked into the house...Not a second thought.... Until my friends WHOLE family looked at me like I was the grim reaper... My friend kindly whispered in my ear that shoes on the new floors were not appreciated!
Again, another joke for me...
I really don't get it! I pay a lot of money for my shoes, I want to wear them, I feel uncomfortable without them!!!
Now people will argue that they pay a lot of money for their floor, but why have a nice floor if people aren't allowed to walk on it!!??
I think its exceptionally rude when people ask me to removed my shoes! I cant begin to tell you how uncomfortable I am without my shoes on. I dislike feet, I dislike the thought of people seeing my feet, i dislike the idea (and this happens A LOT) of people thinking its okay that, because i have removed my shoes at the door, they are allowed to try them on and prance around outside in them!!!
If I ever build a home, I'm going to have concrete and tiles!!! Easy to clean and no-one will get shitty at you for having shoes on them!!!
Here is a message to people who don't like shoes on their floors: 'If you don't like it, be prepared to have pissy visitors! Also, if you feel the need to ask me to remove a piece of my clothing, please supply a chair so that on the occasions that I'm wearing a dress and shoes that are particularly hard to remove I don't have to sit my precious backside on your over-rated floor and flash the world!!!'
This is one of my diva traits!
Get used to it!

I agree with you. You need functionality!
THANKYOU!!! lol!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Poppit, but i have to say that we have one of those houses. BUT the only reason we dont wear shoes inside is because we are in a mining town and you would traipse mud/coal through the house pretty quickly and that combination is particularly hard to clean!
ReplyDeleteOther than the cleanliness issue, i dont see why people spend a heap of money on floors that you cant walk on!
