I did not know how to tell my friend not to enter my bedroom with naked feet or bare feet. He is working in the same place as I am working now. He never used sandals or footwear where he went.
I often reminded him not to go into the room and jumped into my bedroom full of sand and soil on his feet palm. He was a grown up man and it seemed to not use custom sandal could not be changed anymore, but I can't stand anymore, because each time going to my bed, the bed was already filled with full of sand and soil. Please my friend help me.

That is really unsanitary for your friend to walk around all day and then not wash his feet before touching beds or other furniture. He really needs to get in the habit of washing when he arrives home! Anyway, if you can't get him to be a clean person, then I suggest you get a thick pair of socks and keep them at the entrance to your room. Insist that he covers his feet completely before coming in. At least the socks can be washed! It's not a perfect solution, by any means, but it's better than finding your bedding soiled!

Yeah, yeah you are so right. I will try to warn him again before the door is really lock up all day, so he can not get in and do something bad in my room. Thank you and enjoy your mylotting.

Oh.That's irritating.I also hate it when my younger brother enters my room when his feet are dirty.
You should really tell your friend about it.Talk to him in person,and tell him what you feel whenever he enters your room when his feet are dirty.
If he is a good friend he will listen.:)

you need to tell him straight up that you don't like it,because maybe you dud not confront him he thinks you like it.
you need to tell that he should not enter your room while he is dirty,so that he can know whats whats.
are the next thing you can do,Is to lock your room door so that he will not enter through your door.
Sit him down and tell him how you feel,about what he is doing.

I'll be pleasure to warn him not to enter my room with bare feet. I warn him each time he wanted to get in my room, but he seemed that he wouldn't get what I had warned him about. He's freak me out.

You can try persuading, reminding, warning...but if all else fails...in this case, since it is not fatal, why not do likewise on his bed and see how he feels....
it may sound mean, but maybe unless he gets to feel how you feel, he will never know understand what you have been trying to say all this while.
I know many people will think I am mean, but I am just offering another perspective. Not as if I am asking you to do something bad to him physically or what.
If you don't think it is a good idea, just assume I didn't say it.

I tried a million time to persuade or warn him, they all fails.
I am tired. At a glance, I thought the same thing as what you think and I don't a courage to do the same, because if I did that to him, he and I are same as well. That action will not make any difference.

We cannot change the habit of all people at all times. If we want friendship we have to tolerate their behavior. Of course you can nicely tell him to wash his feet before entering your room. have a good day.

I think that I don't need a friend who does not understand me as well. I have too many. I don't need quantity but quality of friends.
Thank to join in my discussion.

I asked politely and he'll listen. Then afterward, he did it again. I am bored to persuade him.

Just tell him how you feel. Vent out all of your feelings it is better to be honest with him. He probablly does not know it bothers you that much. Just tell him, and if he gets mad or feels embarressed tell him that the truth hurts and you are just trying to save your friendship.

it`s hard if we see the stubborn people...it make us angry but he seems don`t care...
sometimes we had no hope for changing the situation if our partners is stubborn type..
so i suggest you, lock your door and do like what he do...
lock your door, and when he ask to coming into your house, you give signal to him that you are sleeping...and just don`t hear his asking....
i think if he did not go into your room until 1 weeks, the situation can change and it make you can enjoy your room

Hello sijabatnaburjut,
As a grown up man your friend should understand it why you are insisting him to wear shoes/sandels every time.
I know in some places there is cutomary that they don't wear footwears inside their houses but in that case their houses remain dirt free and no one is allowed to enter house wearing shoes/sandles.
Your case is bit different so he should understand the difference or he still don't understand then you should tell him straightway that you don't like him to be on your bed as his feet always remain dirty which makes your bed full of sand.May be he will understand it and will change his habit or will wash his feet before jumping in to your bed or won't come to your bedroom.

Just be straight up with the friend.. tell him that this is your bed and unless you go wash your feet, don't get in it. It is rude and you don't like it! If you don't just say something about it, he will keep doing it.

I often ridiculed him, but he didn't listen. He's stubborn.

That have to be very disgusting for you, but like you say it is your bedroom, and you have to to have your rules in your bedroom, and anybody who enter there have to respect that,so tell him that one of the rules that you made to yourself to keep you room clean and organized is to use sandals and clean the feet before to enter, tell him that for you was difficult at the beginning respect your own rule but then you got it, and that you would like that all that enter to your room follow the rules yoy have to keep it clean.

Why exactly is a grown man jumping on your bed? Is this normal/custom.
I don't think you told him clear enough what you accept or not.
So next time you jump to the doorway as soon as he want to come in and tell him he is not allowed to enter.
Let him wash his feet first or he can stay out (if he refuses to wear shoes).
And if it comes to your bed tell him this is private, to sleep in not to sit or lie on by anyone.
Put a chair down where he can sit on or let him stay or sit on the floor.
It's your room and you are making the rules if he likes it or not.
This is the only way to make it clear to him. Be hard since he is not even seeing you are getting angry at all.
