I think it’s mostly in my title. I keep a very clean house and am a big time germaphobe. One rule I live by is that everyone who comes into my house HAS to take their shoes off at the front door. I definitely don’t want street dirt in my home.
I recently held a small gathering for a book club that I recently joined. The club rotates who hosts the gathering once a month. Last week it was my turn.
Here’s why I’m wondering if I’m an AH-
One of our members, Sandra (not real name) uses a wheelchair. She’s a lovely person and is very capable. When she came over to my house, I politely asked everyone to take their shoes off, and asked Sandra to leave her wheelchair at the front door.
She got very upset and asked how she’s supposed to do that. I told her that she can use our computer chair and I could push her around. She argued that that is not at all the same. I told her those are the rules of my house, and I’m not allowing someone to basically drive a car in my living room.
Sandra decided she was just going to leave, and a couple of our other members said I was disgusting and left too. I just think it’s rude to put dirty tires in someone’s house. AITA?
