My wife moves my stuff all the time. She hates that I leave my boots next to the bed and will put them in the closet. I like to leave my boots, pre-loaded jeans, knife, pistol, etc next to the bed overnight just in case. Anything other than clothes she will carry to the reload room regardless of being in its place. I started to get ticked because "where I wanted it" wasn't where she wanted it and started doing the same with her stuff. It stopped.
Learn to compromise. Life will be easier. Also, if you trip over her shoes, you need to learn to watch where you put your feet. You trip, it's your fault.

You must have us confused with some other forum.
And this would be more entertaining with pics of the shoe-strewn battlefield.

just what i'd do
I also see her buying more shoes.
I had a similar experiment with an ex but rather than hoard her shoes, I'd leave one where she left them and another where it would piss her off!
Places like in her passanger seat of the car, under her pillow, in the dryer, in the laundry trough, hanging off her dresses and other random places she would unexpectantly come across them.
She soon got the message that if I had to find her shoes where they shouldn't be so would she.
Also it didn't cost me more for her to replace them.
I was happy with that social experiment.

lol Too funny. My wife did the same thing with my socks. A month in she asked how many socks do you have? I responded with 60 or 70. She just shook her head and said nothing. What she said made me think. I have not seen any in the wash. So I started watching and the ones I left by the bed would go away and the ones I put in the hamper would be there when I did the laundry.
So one day right before she came home I put on a pair of her socks. She saw it right away and questioned me about it. My response was something is stealing my socks. She gave me the look. She started going up stairs so I asked her if she was going to get the suitcase with my socks in it. She stopped and looked at me. I told her how when I needed to travel I thought my bag was in the big case and found my supply.
We laughed and I still let the socks stay beside the bed. It still bothers her but it is small stuff. Do not sweat the small stuff.

The joke's on you. She is banging random guys and keeping you distracted with your shoe experiment and SH updates.

This experiment is hilarious! I'm just wondering how long it will be before you collect a "favorite" pair. Pretty sure that's when she'll notice, and not a moment sooner.
Hookturnr - I read this yesterday and for whatever reason it gave me a terrific belly laugh... made my morning! Anyway, I had to come back today and enjoy the moment.
Growing up in the 50's gives special meaning to elephants never forgetting.
At this point I believe his wife will start asking questions after she begins looking for those shoes that she wears with dress attire she chose for that given day.
I lost bet. I initially said less than 48 hours.
Day 3 and she's still 100% oblivious to it.
If you bet 48 hours, you can tear up your ticket.

TheGerman,I had the same problem with my wife. The damm shoes were all over the house and 2 ft high in the closet.
But I know that telling her she cant get a new pair was going to be pointless.
I said nothing but told her 1 little thing.
For every 5 pairs of shoes she buys= 1 new gun for me...
That was about 4 years ago....
I have 4 new rifles now........

45 years married this coming July, and I'm still waiting to hear what the problem is...
If one wants to marry perfection, one must start out by being perfect.
I'm not, mine's not, and I haven't met one yet, her or him, who is.
Back when we got married, we both decided to make it a 'once only' proposition. When we have a problem, it's our problem, and we work it out together.

Train the puppy to sh!$ in her shoes !!
Guess I'm the "only" other that has done this. I also throw the kids toys away if left out. That started after I sliced my foot on Legos. Kids put their stuff away fast now.
The bad, after two months of throwing shoes out she didn't notice. She looked a little bit for them, then just buys a new pair. Next, I threw them in a footlocker. But she still wont ask if I've seen them and just buy more. I had the kids match up her shoes, zip tie them together an put them in her closet.
SHE STILL CAN'T FIND THEM!
Next, I'll throw them in her cars trunk. It will be a year before she finds them

Get some crazy, uber strong Super-Glue and just glue them down in the location where you found them. If nothing else, you can charge admission into your home to view your work of modern art.
Yeah, clearly...
Fuck her. Its disrespectful. You've asked her, (and I'm sure bitched too), about the shoes. If she cared about you and your feelings, she'd stop leaving the shoes around. For years my wife left her coffee spoon on the counter every damn morning and I'd have to clean it up after work. Not a big deal, but why can't she just put it in the sink?!?!!! I explained it to her and how it isn't a big deal, but it means a lot to me. She hasn't left the spoon on the counter in 10+ years.
When she gets pissed, explain it to her that you've tried everything and she just doesn't care enough about you to put her shoes away, so you're making a point. Don't give a shit about her bitching or feelings because she doesn't care about yours.
Give it right back. Good for you.
All these guys that say you're crazy, foolish, etc. Read Taming of the Shrew.

If you think "respect" means letting some dumb bitch trample logic and fist-fuck family happiness on a daily basis... then no, I guess I don't respect her.
Yet I promise you that her and I have a better relationship than most man/women dynamics out there. I sure as fuck don't have the problems that most men seem to have with their spouses, and conversely she doesn't have the problems with me that most women have with men.

That's funny - not the slicing part though.
I have no issues with my wife. Guess I might be her issue then. Wonder if there is a "CookersHide.com" somewhere and she started a thread like this about me.
My 4 year old is pretty good with putting his toys away. For a while there he started getting lazy and I myself found myself stepping directly on one of his tiny hard toys - painful. Got so mad I took them and whatever toys he left out to the local homeless shelter as I felt some other child could benefit instead of the garbage. When he ultimately asked me if I had seen his toys I told him I gave them to homeless kids who didn't have toys, clothing and shoes. I explained to him how not all children have what he has and he needs to appreciate and take care of what he has. My son walked into his room, grabbed a few of his older toys and two pairs of old sneakers and told me to give them to the kids who had no toys because he had extra. Man, that one really got to me.
Mr German,
Checking in after a few days.
Has your wife asked about shoe's as of yet?
If not, are you still going?
If so, how many are you up to at this point?

It would be pretty funny if at the end of all this, she just told you that since you have do much time on your hands for this, why don't you have time to put them away for her, since it bothers you so much. Lol
If they have them, homeless people don't leave their shoes just laying about.
I have this same problem at my house, but it is my wife and both of our boys. We have a rack by the front door where the shoes are supposed to be placed (one pair per person) but there are generally around 3-4 pairs each there. When I get tired of seeing all of them I just gather them up and throw them in the closet- I know she will NEVER find them there...
Just checked the rack- 2 pairs of shoes and 4 pairs of flip flops (that's just my wife). All now lost in the closet.
"Dad, where are my shoes?"
"Where did you take them off?"
I haven't bothered to read teh thread, just saw the title and came to this page.
My ol lady never had fucking shoes. She always takes them off, except maybe sox in winter when her feet get cold, but even those come off after a few minutes. Maybe I'll buy her some fucking shoes for her birthday. I KNOW she doesn't have any so it's finally something I can get her I know she doesn't own!

Probably get a good deal on some from the OP.
11 pairs collected.
No questions asked.
I was smart and didn't collect the 1 of her 2 running shoes for the obvious reason. She's on call all week so I'm kind of laying off of it for the time being because being on call is like period + menopause hot flashes x 3.

This thread wasn't nearly as entertaining as I'd hoped.
That's because she hasn't found him out yet. I expect the fireworks to start shortly after that!
Hopefully she'll file for divorce and give the guy his freedom, since he can't take it on his own.
good for you bro, my wife used to do that, i tossed the random shoes in the backyard for 4 days before she got it, then it was leaving the lights on everywhere, I waited for her to sit and get comfy then told her to go and turn the light off, took a couple of weeks but she and the daughter got it.
Now if she could stop waking me up to say good night, Id be a happy man.
cheers.

No real updates; I did have to get a 2nd bag for shoe collection.
She leaves for some bridal shower she doesn't want to go to on Thursday so she's stuck at work all week until she goes for the weekend.
I did think that on Sunday that she was on to something, but instead got distracted and didn't bring it up when she found ANOTHER pair of shoes hidden away somewhere that I didn't even see them.

This is some funny shit. I can't figure out who rules the roost. You need to reassert your dominance of the home. You need to rule that house. Make your wife show up to a morning formation, field day the house, etc. Every pair of shoes you find, you can allow her to earn them back. My wife sings cadence while pushing the vacuum.
Sounds like a lot of your wives could stand to read this article: Your husband doesn't have to earn your respect | The Matt Walsh Blog
I know most of them are probably too fucked up and narcissistic to ever even consider reading something like this, much less taking the advice within... but it's worth a shot.

I'd say it's pretty equal. We both do what we want and don't really ever 'ask for permission' or from a guy's standpoint, I'm never worried about the wife yelling at me because I wanted to do something or worry about getting yelled at because I just decided to buy a new handgun for no reason or worried about the wife because I want to do/buy/etc anything. I don't ever need to sneak anything into the house or hide things from her or lie about how much they were or explain why I 'needed' it; I'm also not irrational nor do I have a shopping disorder. Never a problem and that was discussed and more or less shown as part of my personality when we started dating. She knows I'm an asshole and has adapted. Hell, before meeting me she actually voted for Obama once and now deeply regrets it.
However, I do realize that she does carry a lot of the work burden in the relationship as selling a large portion of my equity in a DoD firm I helped start and retiring at 34 isn't exactly normal. I do help her out so that when she's working 12 to 16 hour days, she doesn't have to do anything (except maybe look for her shoes) when she wakes up in the AM or comes home whenever. So there's the tradeoff; while I am still the asshole Type A military officer personality, I do give quite a bit as I know seeing patients all day long 5-6 days a week isn't exactly fun. I do fuck with her as I am doing with the shoes, but as someone mentioned before, that if the shoe situation is my biggest issue, I have it made.
And I do.
My buddy had a ferret that would do exactly what you're doing... Only with the ferret it was every damn thing in the house... Shoes, Hats, Keys, Cell Phones... Nothing was safe.
German... I feel your pain. My better half is a shoe fanatic... to the tune of more pairs than I can count. And, yes, she will leave 20 pairs at the %$#@ing front door! Literally. And don't get me started on winter coats. I live in $#@ing New England and only bought my first winter coat (a used air force parka) last year. She has 20 winter coats hanging by the front door. Our guests could not find a hook if they tried.
It's her money... but what a waste. She always responds: "you buy lots of guns..." But my response is that, bought right, fireams are worth more every day that goes by. Shoes are worth nothing the moment you buy them. Unfortunately... thinking THAT argument works is delusional on my part.
I like your plan. I am going to start "stealing" shoes and collecting them. I'll blame cats.
I'll let you know how it turns out. If I disappear from SH permanently, you will know what happened. But, German, I am on your side!
Cheers,
Sirhr

Ha, our ferret Rocky loves Crocks - brand shoes! He puts them in the shower or the closet ironically. He woves wed wubber-(substitute R) even more though, death grip on the stuff, he'd kill for it. We've lost him outside twice and got his red rubber squeaky toy out, started squeaking away and he came running.
Any updates? You still alive and have all your man parts in tact?
