If you have to ask...you're weird.
What kind of monster walks around their house with shoes on?
My brother walked around barefoot and then when he went to the door put on his socks and shoes and left.

This. Shoes are for outside, and special occasions in the bedroom. That's it.
My thought exactly.
Always shocked when friends or family come over and stroll on in through the house with their shoes still on. Do you know what filth you're tracking though my house?!?
Immediately!! If I just walk around in socks and I step in water/milk/juice/beer/mixed drink that was spilled. I might as well do this and go back to bed:
Wet socks are like my biggest bugaboo!! Worse than fingernails on a chalkboard.
Need an option C. "if you notice holes in socks, grab another pair and put them on."

Socks are a layer of insulation between feet and cold floors. Or add a pair of indoor slippers that didn't walk through dirty ground and floors 30 minutes before at the store or at work.
Or just walk around in bare feet until you're ready, THEN put on both socks and shoes at the same time.

In my adult age of responsibility and increased fiscal stability, I've had to force a change in myself in regards to socks with holes in them. Walking around with a hole in my sock drives me bonkers, but unless it's big enough to render the sock unwearable, I have a hard time bringing myself to throw them away. So, if I notice a hole, I will purposely rip it much bigger, so that I have no choice but to get rid of them. If I didn't do that, I'd probably still have socks from high school. Also, it's incredibly satisfying to rip a sock, for some reason.Immediately!! If I just walk around in socks and I step in water/milk/juice/beer/mixed drink that was spilled.

No socks in the house. When I'm ready to roll out the door, the socks and shoes go on. I need the traction bare feet provide vs. socks when I'm chasing the 5 year old who is chasing the 1 year old who is chasing the dog.
I swear my right big toe nail has put a hole in half my socks. I don't know if it is due to the shoes I wear, the angle of my toe nail or what. Very perplexing. I actually went to Walmart yesterday and bought a 12 pack of socks.
BTW why don't socks come in packs of 4 or 6? Seem like they just come in a single pair or a dozen.
I read somewhere that bear feet in the house was hard on carpet due to the oils in our bodies. No remember who states this but I just like the feel of socks (no shoes) in the house.

I do the same with the holes in my socks. It gets rid of the temptation to wear them one more time.
