question for sj.com ladies

The key is to leave on the heels, but take off all the clothes.

Very few complaints.

I don't think I want to see shockey in that state. :D

 

[MileHigh]

I'd second that.

shockey,
My first reaction was she's being passive-aggressive and doing this because she knows it bothers you. Unless she really hates looking at her feet, maybe, but otherwise it seems like it would be pretty uncomfortable wearing shoes around the house all day. It's bad for the floors, too.
Living in NYC, we don't have a choice. It's some sort of apartment law that a certain amount of the floors must be covered, and if you walk around with shoes for very long, you're going to hear it from the neighbors. Seems like someone who ignores a neighbor's request (or a spouse's request) is intentionally trying to annoy.

Why not buy her a nice pair of slippers and wrap them with a gift certificate for a pedicure as a compromise? :) ;) :) ;)

I'm gonna side with your SIL on this one.

Your wife is not wearing particular shoes to spite you. Or if she is, it's because you have driven her nuts regarding the topic and she is fed up. But I'm going with the former on this one.

We have tile floors downstairs. I go barefoot unless it's cold, then I wear slippers so my toes don't turn blue.

Cold? Like when it drops to 50 degrees twice in December?

Yes. Like, for instance, now. It's 57 degrees outside. I consider that freezing.

As someone who rejoiced two days ago when it got up to 45 degrees here, I fail to see the correlation between 57 degrees and freezing.

That is one of my alltime favorite songs related to the shoes issue, as long as I don't picture Joe Cocker singing it.

The woman above me wears lead shoes. I've never said anything. It doesn't bother me that much actually, most of the time. I'm not a woman, and somehow I don't think high heels would look that good on me, but for what it's worth, I take off my shoes as soon as I walk in the door and switch to a pair of slippers that sit by the door waiting. Makes for a cleaner place.

Me, too, or I go barefoot.
I hope I'm never that person who goes out of their way to annoy others. (The neighbor across the way refused to let anyone in to fix her toilet, after it had been broken THREE MONTHS; the leaks destroyed three floors of apartments below her and have caused all sorts of lawsuits. We still don't know where she was going to the bathroom for all those months. But I Digress.)

shockey, add some chocolates to those slippers and pedicure. :) :) :) :)

Damn, "I Digress" is about to surpass "Dooley noted," me note with sadness.

On Select-a-Seat weekend — nine hours with eager pinstriped salesfolk, but we can always hope Joe Pepitone or Dooley Womack will show up — my question would be: will the so-called “greatest seats in the world” get the A-Rod torn-labrum discount?
