Maya covers our floors in dirt, germs and scuff marks. To me, it’s gross

Living with my housemate, Maya, for 14 months has taught me one thing: shoes belong outside. Before you walk into your home, you should take them off and put them on the shoe rack.

I believe in these rules, but Maya always walks into our house with her shoes on. I find it repulsive. I keep trying to get her on side: I’ve implemented a strict shoes-off policy in our house, and have also bought a shoe rack so there is a place to store them. But she always forgets.
