And you are a libertarian? As the owner of the home, wouldn't a libertarian say that I have the right to set the rules for my own home?
I'm not only a libertarian, I'm also a hypocrite.
If you invite me to your house, you have to inform me about your weird rules upfront.
Lord, you sound like such a Yankee!I hate it when people require me to take off my shoes to enter their houses.
It's bull**** for several reasons:
1)What makes you so confident that your floor is that clean?
2)This is the West, not the East.
3)I wear boots all the time and it takes me 20 minutes to take them off. The reason the Japanese started that stupid tradition is because they wore sandals back in they day, not laced shoes or boots.
4)Peoples feet smell.

You'd be arrested for illegally firing a gun within city limitsWhat if I just stand outside your house firing randomly into the air?
It's very small, no big deal.It's not a weird rule actually. Is this such a big deal?
The one thing is, I really think the host should provide a variety of slippers for guests.
Where I live it's customary to remove your shoes without being prompted. I've never walked into another person's home without taking my shoes off at the door unless they say I don't have to.
I don't smoke, but I am thinking of starting because I hate it when people require me not to smoke when I enter their houses.

3)I wear shoes all the time and it takes me a few seconds to take them off. I need something to keep me busy for 20 minutes while you take your boots off.
4)People smell.
Am I the only one who's noticed people pulling the "I'm the boss" card, as though that makes them factually accurate?
We're not talking about if it's your rules, in fact the question already assumes that it is your house and they are your rules. Set aside your insecurity and dare to defend your rules.
The question is not rather you have the authority to do what you want, the question is rather or not what you choose to do is acceptable.
Shoes are generally dirty and some people like to keep their floors clean and nice looking.
The question is not rather you have the authority to do what you want, the question is rather or not what you choose to do is acceptable.
If you have the authority to do it, how is it not acceptable? If it is not acceptable you wouldn't have the authority to do it.
If I'm there installing your kitchen, and you already signed the contract, guess what?
I'm wearing my steel toes, and if you don't like it, **** you. You can't fire me, and if you kick me out you'll have to pay the cancellation fee per the terms of the contract. If you're an asshole when this goes down, I'll personally sue you for loss of wages as OSHA requires me to wear steel toes while I'm installing in your house.
