I never understood how college kids would skip 8:00 and 9:00 classes every friggin day.... but have no problem waking up at the ass crack of dawn to drink on St. Patrick's day. I was never a fan. Don't get me wrong... I did MORE than my fair share of partying... but I was never a fan of being crammed into a bar like sardines and having Guiness spilled down my back all day.
No clue how you all feel about this topic, but based on most people I know/see on tv, I think this is unpopular. I think it's super gross to wear your shoes in your house. We ask everyone to remove shoes when they come over.
ginabini, but the real question is how do you feel about still being awake from last night and just continuing to drink on St. Pats day? Not that I've done that....
rungirlrun, Yeah shoes don't belong inside. I let it go if people come over because they stay downstairs and our bedrooms are upstairs, but I'd probably chase someone around with a vacuum cleaner if they came upstairs wearing shoes.

I don't think its unpopular! (For me at least!) I'm just too lazy to follow through with it in my own house
Shoes do not belong anywhere past the front door. I do not want mud, animal feces, pesticides, and all the other crap we have on our shoes anywhere in my house. I get anxious when people come over bc I feel bad asking people to remove their shoes immediately, but I'm a clean/neat freak so it's completely necessary.
TheTuna15 that, my friend, is a skill/talent I was not blessed with hahaha Mad props to anyone that can
Haha. I tap out around 10pm these days. But in my wild and crazy college days... I have spent a good amount of mornings sitting on a porch watching people go to class, while still drinking.

We have tried this multiple times and failed! Our house was built into the side of a mountain so our bedroom is the only access to our backyard and I let the dogs in the back to pee and poo bc I'm lazy...I guess I could have shoes dedicated to going outside by bedroom that stay in the bedroom. Our firewood is also outside the bedroom and and can't picture dh taking off his shoes after each load of wood.

This is me as well. Especially having kids that play on the floor constantly. My BIL would come over with muddy boots and would get mad when I asked him to take them off. I mean really? You want to clean up the mess, I don't think so.

My house is dirty all the dirt and germs come in and stay. Just kidding but i am too lazy to constantly enforce taking off shoes or remember to follow it myself. I only get annoyed if someone is walking around leaving a trail of visible dirt.

I'm team no shoes in the house. I'll admit to running through the house with shoes on if I'm on my way out the door and forgot something, but other than that shoes are off.
Except for the toddler who's going through a phase where he needs to wear shoes/boots in the house. I choose dealing with dirt over dealing with multiple tantrums.
Also, I hate when people put purses/bags on the table or counters. How many times has that bag been on the ground outside, on a bathroom floor, or somewhere else disgusting? And now it's on my counter where I prep food? Yuck!

Maybe I'm lazy, but I don't go all out for smaller holidays. Not going to decorate my house and buy St. Paddy's Day t-shirts for the one day. Maybe if I was going out. The closest I get to celebrating St. Patrick's Day is Irish car bomb cupcakes.

This is us. If your shoes are visibly dirty and you are tracking a line of dirt in then I am upset. Otherwise I am just not big on enforcing this rule. My parents never had this rule so maybe tats why I don't care as much.
That being said I do try to be observant and conscious when I am in other people's houses. If someone lets me into their house and there is a clear pile of shoes by the door and they are not wearing shoes that look like they have been outside then I will take mine off before entering.

I don't really get the appeal of drinking all day and I never have. It's for that reason that I have never really participated in any of the St. Patrick's Day drinking festivities.

Ditto! I think I tried once and I was down for the count by like 2pm and never got back up.

Why would I put my bag on a bathroom floor?
My work bathroom has only one hook so I have to put my computer bag on the floor (I will not put my lunch bag on the floor). Diaper bag goes on the public bathroom floor when my hands are full with baby and no hooks near the change table. My purse has gone on the bathroom floor when there's nowhere else to put it.

I've participated in way too many day drinking events - not anymore but definitely in college and the couple of years afterwards. Just have to pace yourself! I kind of miss the excitement of it all and hanging out with friends all day, but my body appreciates sober/1-2 drinks me much more.

My UO and apologies if this offends anyone. I hate home sales/mlm companies with a white hot intensity. Even if the product is decent, which they usually aren't, the business model is ridiculous and based on overcharging on products so a list of people take a tiny cut. Despite the facebook status, you don't own a business. Your chances of making a profit are slim. The only people getting rich are at the top and they prey on the most financially unstable women. When you get an actual job, you don't have to pay to start. When you run a business, you get the profits and to set prices and to create the business model, not someone above you. I would so much rather give a friend $20 than buy a $60 bracelet that looks like junk so she can make $5 off it and hashtag the crap out of it all over social media and think she's getting a pink Cadillac next year. I think I've reached maximum overload on the pop up Facebook parties.

I have so many friends that are doing this. Don't invite me to your business page and then continue to spam my news feed from your personal page when I unfollow your business one. That's the quickest way to get unfollowed or unfriended.
