Would you get into bed with dirty feet?

Showered this morning.

Just took Ddog for a walk in the woods, it’s hot so everything was dusty and I had my flip flops on. Feet are dirty.

I’m lay on my bed (white) but there’s no dirt anywhere and it hasn’t come off onto the bed.
Feeling too hot & lazy to go and wash my feet.
I’d be okay with leaving them, but i’m thinking that’s probably not how the average person is!

Would you have to wash them?

Probably not

You’ll feel much better for some cold water on your feet.

I don’t even look at my feet before going to bed. Not dead yet.

Skanky

I don’t get into bed without taking a quick shower, even if I showered earlier in the day. I just find it gross to get into bed without being freshly washed.

If there’s no dirt on my feet I’d be okay getting into bed. If they’re visibly grubby I’ll have a quick 3 minute shower to wash them.
But mostly I have a bath before bed anyway so it doesn’t really come up!
Dh also showers before bed in the warmer weather too.

I put a foot at a time into the sink! I’m in my 60s but flexible enough. I was wondering last night what I’ll do when I can’t manage it anymore!!

I wash my feet before getting into bed, even if they're not muddy, dusty or sweaty. That's my sensory thing, though - I'm quite happy to get into bed (alone) unwashed elsewhere.
