Dog pee.
Id like to add dog poo in the form of mud and dirt tracked in from the backyard by said dog during the 6 months it rains nonstop where im at
I live in the PNW and have dogs, so I feel your pain.
These days I just try to get them to step in the puddles for some kind of rinse before they come in the house. Lol
Because I have multiple doors in my house which lead outside. I normally take my shoes off when I come inside, but sometimes I come in one door and then want to leave via a different door only to realise my shoes are at the other end of the house.
Well, personally, I have foot problems, so walking barefoot is painful. So I wear flip flops around the house.
I just forget to take them off
Having said that in my country it's normal to wear house shoes in the house.
Because we have dogs, cats, surprises and cold floors.
You ever banged you toe on something, and you're also telling me you never thought 'this wouldn't be a problem if I has shoes on'?
Do you ever learn from your mistakes? /s

Leftover habit from never having bare feet touch the ground from my army days.
-
Kids leave and drop things all over house (Lego bricks).
-
I wear huge clown shoes. No room near the door to leave them.
-
Shoes off to flip-flops on. Feet feel protected.
I have bad plantar fasciitis so I wear special old person orthotic shoes. And most of my house is hardwood so generally if I’m on my feet I’ll wear my shoes inside to prevent foot pain.
🤷🏻♀️ It’s not like I don’t wipe my feet off on the doormat rug

Years ago I had a glass light cover shatter in the hall between my bed and toilet. Thought I got it all swept up. Two weeks later, a 2am half asleep piss trip ended in 10 minutes of digging a glass shard out of my foot and stopping the bleeding. I now wear something with a sole very nearly at all times.
Why do people go barefoot in public
Why do people wear shoes in the office
Why dont3 I ask women if they're pregnant
Because arbitrary customs that exist which might have a good reason behind them but largely have become things that are considered polite or rude, both of which are societal concepts which themselves are worthy of questioning
-
Because they've given up on life.
-
Because everyone else wear shoes in the office. That being said. I don't wear shoes in my office. Because no one does. (It's also a small office)
-
I don't know why YOU don't. I don't Because it's none of my business and the risk of being wrong heavily outweights the reward of being right.
It's not arbitrary. If you start wearing shoes inside the floor will get dirtier. And now I can't not wear them because I will get dirt all over my socks from the dirt the shoe wearer tracked inside.
Office workers might have to move around and walk a lot. Shoes help with that. It's the exact reason we invented them in the first place.
Just because you don't know, doesnt mean it's arbitrary

I'll say that I don't usually wear shoes in the house, but it's also a lost cause since I have two big dogs.
