Bare Feet

Hello everyone;

   I guess this a pet peeve.  Probably doesn't bother anyone ...except me.  But I am extremely uncomfortable and somewhat annoyed by people who go bare foot a lot.  I find it rather disgusting.  And we are coming into bare foot season.  We are going to be seeing a lot of ugly feet and I am not looking forward to it.  Some will dismiss this... but consider the following with an open mind.


"Bare Feet" 

  One thing that turns my stomach is men with extremely hairy toes!  OMG!  This is totally disgusting!  Men who have this thick black hair sprouting out of their toes... I mean it's been allowed to just grow wild since puberty.  These guys look like something out of a freak show.  Big ugly hairy toes!  Who wants to see that?  You know that mess growing on their feet has never seen any soap or shampoo.  The best it can hope for is some water may splash on there in the shower.  And these guys are proud of it!  A sign of being a "manly man" is having this unruly thick mess of hair all over your toes.  Come on man!  If you HAVE to go bare foot, then trim that ugly mess!

  Here is an idea... if you MUST go barefoot in public... how about washing those nasty feet!  People who go barefoot are not concerened about keeping their feet clean.  They seem to be happy to run around with dirty, black feet.  Sometimes it looks CRUSTY black.  You can tell the dirt is really ground in.  The heel of their foot is often dry and cracked.  You have seen it!  Their feet look like something from a horror show.

   Listen if you insist on going barefoot ... how about a little foot maintenance!  Is that too much to ask?

   The problem has become so big that stores have had to implement policies:  " No shoes, no shirt, no entry." You have seen the signs.  "Shoes and shirts required."  This barefoot bunch has gotten out of hand to the point where stores have had to take action.  I am just thankful that SOMEONE had the courage to stand up to this offensive habit.

   People who go barefoot don't care how their feet look.  They impose this grotesque sight on the rest of us.  They will say, "well, look the other way."   Not that easy to do.  Your eyes are drawn to it.  They are sending your brain messages... "hey, look at this disgusting sight."  You can't help but notice!

  And as far as I'm concerned... wearing sandals is the same as going barefoot.  It has the same effect.  Those ugly feet are still on display for all to see.  AND wearing flip flops... you are saying, "hey, look at my ugly feet AND listen to the annoying sound of smack, smack, smack with every step I take."

   Feet are just gross.  They smell.  They're ugly.  It's a part of the body that is a bit personal.  I am uncomfortable around people who are not wearing shoes... or at least socks.  I NEVER go barefoot unless I am sleeping, in the shower or at the pool.  My feet are private.  I don't wish to share them with the rest of the world.  If I ever did, i would at least be considerate of others and keep up foot maintenance.

  Unless your feet are REALLY attractive ( and I mean women here) put on some shoes.  We'll all thank you.

Thanks and we'll talk more later;
