taking your shoes off when you go to someone's house.

I take them off in my own home and automatically do it in other peoples homes.

I always ask guests to take their shoes off.
 
I was brought up to take my shoes off when entering other peoples homes so I do it automatically, however I wouldn't be offended if asked to as to me it is the polite and right thing to do.

I prefer people to take theirs off when they come to ours however I don't ask them to if they haven't.

I get offended because they are assuming that I won't take them off, only chavs don't take off as default.

I have tiled floor in my house, I still assume people will have the decency to not bring poo into my house.
 
Always a bit of an odd one for me as we have always just wiped them off (properly) on the mat unless its wet out and same for most of my friends and family except my mum's sister and my grandparents on my mum's side who've always insisted on shoes off at the door.

Sometimes go to people's houses and see them looking oddly at me and realise its because I've still got my shoes on but around 2/3rds either don't care or have shoes on anyway.

I was always brought up taking shoes off so do it automatically whenever I visit anyone, my wife was the opposite and makes much less of a deal about shoes etc in the house.

All to do with how you were brought up (or dragged up if the latter :p)
 
I'm annoyed if somebody comes to my house and doesn't take theirs off or at the very least asks if it's okay, bad manners.

Why would this offend anyone?

I can see the reasoning but I can't seem to care myself, maybe I'm spoilt because we've always had our floors cleaned and/or replaced regularly and I've never had to worry about it in any shape or form.
