I wear shoes inside and sometimes while I'm laying in bed. Be mortified.

I like the respect angle though. Far too many people throw their trash on the ground. If not wearing shoes outside makes them rethink their actions I'm all for it.

Edit: Downvoters were mortified.




I'll wear shoes inside but laying in bed is going a little too far. You walk in public restrooms with those shoes (I'm assuming).


Public restrooms, private restrooms, my kitchen, your cook at a restaurant wears them in the restauraunt's kitchen.

I guess the real question is, who wears shoes under their bed covers?


Many people have pets in their home. The home is a bathroom because the animals will shit in it from time to time.


Ignoring the cleanliness aspect, why wear shoes in bed? That just sounds uncomfortable.


I have some issues with my arch and toes and my custom orthotics really help with that. I only really hang them off the side of the bed. Sometimes they are on the bed though.

It also seems a natural progression from walking around the house to laying on the bed to answer some texts.

I do it less in the winter or when it's raining. In that case I don't bother and leave them in the entry way.


You wear your outside shoes in bed? That’s not mortifying, it’s disgusting. You’re rolling in and breathing in whatever came in contact with the soles of your shoes.


And your shoes would be wetter and breed more bacteria if you tend to leave them on that much. Your feet and shoes probably smell much worse than they need to. Regardless of hygiene you are also rolling around in grit in your bed which doesn't seem very comfortable. Yep, I am also mortified!


There are millions (billions?!) of bacteria in your mouth, bathroom, kitchen sink, asshole, etc. Every time you release a fart you are spraying countless bacteria into your pants.


How many sheets do you rip?
