Conservative humor: Here's Why I'll Be Keeping My Shoes on in Your Shoeless Home

[MineralMan]

9. The thing I used to hate the worst was estate sales

where you were expected to remove your shoes. There was never a place to do so safely, no chair to sit on, and typically there were dozens of people traipsing around in their sock feet, looking at the overpriced loot in the house. So, you had to sort of just pile your shoes somewhere near the door.

The floors would have to be cleaned anyhow before the estate house went on the market, so there was really no point to the shoes off policy. It just made no sense to me at all.
