A 25-year-old woman had a very specific holiday wish this year — for her brother to lift the “high-heel ban” he instituted for his Christmas party.
At the time, the man’s sister told her friend her heels were ruining her brother’s floor. But she refused to take them off without a fuss.
“I told my sister to worry about it later, but after the party, we saw the entire living room was covered in deep dents,” he wrote in the post. “However thanks to my sister getting her friend to take her heels off, we avoided too much damage in the kitchen and hallway.”
The man, 34, continued to explain in the post that after the party, his sister found out that her friend knew the heels would leave dents, but she decided to wear them anyway.
“She didn’t care at all about the floor damage she caused,” he said. “My sister tried to get her to pay the repair bill, but the friend smirked, said that she was just making our floors look ‘lived in’ and my sister should be the one paying for rudely making her take off shoes that made her outfit.”

For their Christmas party, the man said he and his wife, 35, banned heels to prevent another similar situation from happening. However, before the party, his sister, whom he says loves stiletto heels, asked if she could still wear hers.

The brother shared that his sister, who lived with him for two years, told him the shoes were in good condition. She also suggested her brother inspect all guest’s shoes before coming into the house.
“She also said she would pay for fixing the floor should damage occur, again offered to pay the previous repair bill, but we don’t want this as my sister earns less than we do and the repair would be very costly for her, plus repairs are inconvenient,” he continued.
“My sister has been begging us to let her wear heels to the party, and tearfully asked if we wanted to punish her for the damage from her birthday party, but that isn’t the case at all,” he added. “However, I understand how much this hurts her, and I wonder if we should let her wear the shoes she wants or just remove the high heel ban.”

“Plot twist: Allow all types of footwear, then ask everyone to leave their shoes at the door and provide little booties! Many cultures do not allow outdoor shoes inside,” someone else wrote on the post.
Another comment read: “Sounds like you’re being a bit harsh, maybe let her wear the damn shoes. Not that big of a deal.”
