My aunt called me bougie today because I asked her to take off her shoes before she entered....

Hey your house your rules

That doesn’t make you bougie, that makes you someone who likes clean floors. 🤨

No, i never wear my shoes in the house.

I think it's annoying when someone invites you over and makes you take off your shoes. It sets a negative tone and makes me not want to go back. I usually bend over backwards to make guests feel comfortable.

Ask others not to as well.

Weird. Where and when I come from (S.W. England) we never wore shoes in the house. But things do seem to have changed a bit in the intervening half century

Different cultures have different rules about that. She shouldn't have said what she did.

No people like saying that for fun. Shes probably teasing. I get called bougie and i know im not, i laugh.

It’s more sanitary and a common and reasonable request.

Nah.. I don’t consider that bougie … I know people who do that and I’d never thing they were bougie!

But what if it was slippers? Flip-flops?

You let her in your house? 😳

No idea -- never had that happen.

I'd just turn it back on her and say, "That's right, now take off your shoes please. my roomba gets cranky if people leave a mess on the floor"

As I'm from Asia it's considered the height of rudeness to wear shoes on my fresh, daily cleaned floors.

How do you know how many Albertans there are in a house? Go to the door and count the number of shoes and divide by 2. Here it is customary that you take off your shoes.
