• Yesterday, in the general comments section of fandomsecrets there was a lively discussion about the merits of removing your shoes before entering your home. A lot of people had things to say, and I am absolutely ROLLING with confused laughter that this is such a major issue for people.

I just had no idea it mattered to so many people what you do with your shoes! I especially love the exchange between the two people arguing about whether removing your shoes in someone else's home is the height of presumptuous rudeness on par with helping yourself to the food in their fridge, or if it's in fact incredibly rude not to remove your shoes and ignorantly track mud/dirt/germs into their home.

I THINK IT'S THE GERM THING THAT REALLY GETS ME. "You've been outside! There are germs on your shoes! Leave them at the door!" Like, really? I hope you wash your hands after every single time you've stepped out of the house, then, because I am fairly convinced that that's where the ~true threat~ is going to linger. Most people don't go around licking the carpet or nuzzling the underside of their boots. Hands, though? Y'all gonna be touching everything with your hands.

ANYWAY THAT'S ANOTHER EXCITING UPDATE, THIS IS GOING GREAT, it is quarter past three on my day off and although I have done some wonderful relaxing I am once again nowhere near writing anything. Should I try now, or just make this a lounging day and not stress myself out? Only time will tell.
