You're not alone. I too love going barefoot on streets and in stores and getting my soles filthy black.
Love these discussions about filthy feet, for me its one of the joys of being barefoot 24/7.....I have been known to purposefully walk through an oil patch in a car park on the way to a shopping mall, and then stop to admire my filthy soles. I love watching the reaction of others when they see the colour of my soles too, the look of disgust is hilarious! I'll never forget taking the kids to the movies one school holidays, bare feet of course...and then propping my feet up on the seat in front of me. The elderly woman in the seat got up to ask me to move my feet, saw the colour of my soles and screamed "Eek...they're filthy" to her friend...and then they promptly moved seats when I refused to take my feet down. Oh my fucking god, it was so funny! kids thought it was a great laugh too!
Hehe fantastic! I too deliberately sometimes seek out those real grimy patches in car parks and then rub my soles into it love my feet when black. We have reclining seats in my local cinema so my soles are constantly propped up for all to see when I'm there.
My feet looks like that occasionally when I visit specific places like the hardware store. My husband and children's feet looks like that more often because they swear more, so the dirt sticks on.
Oh hell yeah I love when my bare feet are jet black or seeing someone is barefoot and there bare feet are black too.
Your judgement has no place in this forum....perhaps its your judgement and half assed assumptions that stop people from joining a forum like this. Can I suggest we have no "name" bad or otherwise.....but maybe your American, you have to judge everything by your standards, and have a "name" for everything!
I respectfully disagree. To place one's feet, bare or shod, up on the seat in front of you and next to another patron is rude. That yours were filthy and bare and by your own admission offended another person, whether they were American, Australian, European or whatever, was rude. I will repeat that behavior such as that gives all bare-footers a bad name. Opinions, including mine, certainly have room on this forum; indeed by definition a forum is a place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.
You stated i, and my behaviour were rude. I respectfully disagree. You judged me as a result, I respectfully decline to be judged by you. Where I place my bare feet is my own business. End of story.
Sometimes to make sure just the part that touches the ground dirty and make the cool shape the footprint.
The comments can be quite funny I agree. But, and I am talking from personal experience being a young(ish) man here, some people will have a problem with whatever I’m wearing/ not wearing. So it might as well be my lack of shoes If it’s not one thing it’s another. Anyway I always see others barefoot out and about, it’s not a big deal here it seems!
I am going to have to agree with mmicmann. There is a limit to the things you do around other people, it's just basic courtesy. You shouldn't be putting your feet on the seats in front of you in the first place, especially if you have visibly dirty feet.
WA? Washington state? I assume you mean Western Australia. Very cool...a friend visited there recently and loved it. I hope to go sometime. I am in the American Midwest...mostly boot-wearing farmers, but most people don't care about my bare feet.
Yes, that is the point I was trying to make. We are members of a society, and should be mindful of others.
i guess we will have to agree to disagree on this point.....that's cool, I'm certainly not going to lose any sleep over it.
