What are negative/bad situations you had going barefoot?

I dont really own shoes, but I've been lucky to be barefoot 90% the time. Mine was being barefoot on the bus. Wasn't allow to be barefoot on the bus, so I used barefoot covers to get on.

 

I've had amazingly few over the years tbh. Those I have I think I've prob mentioned on here before, but briefly:
1. Motorcyclist stopped at lights who gave me a mouthful of abuse.
2. Van driver ditto ditto. What is it with idiots stopped at lights? Maybe it's because I have dared to push the button to make them stop so they are looking for a reason to be abusive?
3. Being thrown out of the local Tesco big store, so I've never been back. (Their smaller shops don't seem to have a problem though).
4. Being told by a London pub bouncer that I can't come in "with feet like that".
5. Being stopped and lectured by a random woman about "getting something in my feet".

I've also had my share of pointing, giggling and sideways glances but I've kind of got used to that.

 

Beech sand. Don't mess with large quantities of silicon! Even the most fantastic calluses, cannot save you from sheer stupidity.

 

bees and sand burrs. and one huge thorn when i was a kid.

 

Surrounded by five employees and escorted out of a Wal Mart store, like I was a criminal. Yes, I still shop there. Small town; it's the only place to get certain stuff. I go late at night, when the staff doesn't give a sh*t.

 

cut my foot at the pool on a broken piece of tile.

 

Still see fucking idiots in cars slow up to check out that I am indeed barefoot. Golly, what a sight!

 

this one sounds like paranoia to me.

 

One time, I was barefoot and discovered (by stepping on it) that my cat had left the head of a rat or a bird or something on the front porch of my parents house; which was at that time my house too. Gross!

 

Wow that seems a little extreme. Only thing I ever encountered was being told that I needed to have something on my feet while in the store. You must be a dangerous barefooter LOL.

 

I was once surrounded by 3 police cars because I was barefooting in the light snow. Holy fuck, I coulda been dainjerus!

 

Strange "fetish" this barefoot stuff!
Other than at the seaside and hotel rooms, I think I've never gone barefoot anywhere outside of my home, that is since seeing the skin of my sisters feet after she went barefoot in a local gym changing rooms / shower cubicles 10 or so years ago. She still has the odd few spots on the skin of her feet, they are tiny little spots that sometimes release a bit of liquid, the spots vanish and then some months later appear somewhere else on the underside or sides of her feet/ankles.
I've seen the rare occasional people who walk around town/cities barefoot, I'm like... you tramp haha get some shoes on

 

Like what?! xD I've heard from Charlie has car stop and yell at him? Like Wtf.

 

Wtf indeed. I asked the van driver what he thought it had to do with him, which seemed to wind him up even more.

Tbh I guess you represent the "sensible" 99.9% of the population who apparently agree with you. I trust you just think this, rather than yell it out at them though!

 

i crushed a toad by accident the other day. that was pretty negative.

 

Strangely enough, I was getting the mail from my mailbox at the end of my driveway the other day and I was barefoot. My neighbor stopped to talk with me and kept staring at my feet...with a look like I should be wearing shoes. Like a judgement look. It made me feel awkward but that was the first time I’ve felt that way with being barefoot outside.

 

People are such fucks.

 

It had to be the bathroom at the beach of all places the floor was so gross a bowl must have overflowed but I had to pee so bad I stood as far back from the urinal as possible to get most of it on target till the stream weakened anyway. The beach was 100 yards away to go walk in the water to wash off but yuck yuck and more yuck it was awful.

 

Your asking for it more then us by going barefoot in hotel rooms where other shoe people do cause you pick up germs then put shoes on and incubate them.

Ever notice how besides the obvious shape difference hands and feet are the same thing same skin but its extremely rare anyone ever gets 'athletes hand' ?

Hands all over door knobs, those nasty buttons stores want you to use, enter phone number for their stupid unrewarding "rewards" tracking programs.

Its just so "rewarding" they raise the price of everything then give you a "discount" total stupid shit.

 

Not being someone who has has a foot fetish, I still don't wear shoes around the house in summer. I therefore often drive without shoes and put them on when I leave the car.
Perhaps the funniest moment was the morning that I drove to a business meeting in London and when I arrived I found that Jane had removed my shoes from the car when she had cleaned it the previous day.
Being seen as a nutty professor has its advantages at times.
