Ah, it’s always a delight when an Internet rando gets cornered and pulls the old “uh, yeah, well, who cares, I’m right, I CAN’T HEAR YOU LALALALALA”

Did you learn that “YOU’RE RACIST” comment finishing move from Gawker or...

Correct.

Not at all. Again, they’re free to visit us or we can meet up anywhere they like.

And as with any other cultural tradition I choose not to observe, I can avoid it altogether. I ain’t missing much. It’s a house. I live in one. Big deal.

Can’t say as I’ve ever been asked, but if that’s their thing, Asian, black, white, eskimo, etc., they can visit us or we can pick a restaurant.

Speak for yourself.

Deal (, you Internet rando).

And they’re free to make their displeasure known. That way, I know never to accept future invites.

Oh, I will. Was I unclear about “visit me or we can meet up?”

Says the person who asks people to disrobe before entering their home, you weirdo.

Holy shit, I’d sooner die than ask to borrow undergarments from a person who was hosting me at their home.

And this exact logic (if no one wears shoes inside, the floors never get dirty because shoes are the only place dirt comes from!) is the exact reason I don’t trust you to keep your floors clean enough for me to go shoeless.

Except for the dirt and mud on the shoes (none here), yeah, pretty much.

No, other people have chilly houses and/or dirty floors because they’re idiots who think as long as nobody wears shoes inside, they rarely if ever need to sweep/mop.

My shoes are clean. Sorry yours aren’t?

I presume nothing. If my shoes bother you that much, you come visit me. I have no idea of your floor care regimen nor any desire.

If I’m not taking my shoes off at your house, I am most definitely not taking them off and putting on a different pair.

I’m a person with cold feet from the months of November to March. I’m not gonna have fucking toesicles because you have a weird thing about shoes in the house. I didn’t rub them in dog shit before stepping inside. I gave them a cursory stomping (and wipe on welcome mat if available) before I came in. They’re fine.

Aldo wasn’t really THAT much of a draw outside of Brazil and in Brazil, he still will be.
