Your standard answer to 'where's your shoes' ?

I must get asked this a few times a day at least, usually by misunderstood 'youths'.

So when folks holler 'where's ya shoes?' across a park to you, how do you reply ?

I'm usually mute, or if feeling a bit cheeky, 'where's ya feet ?'

I tend not to use the latter though as said youths would probably kick seven shades of y'know what out of me...

 

I usually tell people that shoes are for quitters.

That seems to shut them up since most people don't understand sarcasm

 

I usually say shoes are for the winter. Gotta pull out the shoes when the snow hits.

 

At home where they belong

 

I do a double-take....and say..."OMG!!!!!....I forgot them!!!!

 

I kicked the habit.

Har.

 

I'd use one of my brother's favorites:

"If they were up your ass, you'd know where they were!"

 

Living in New Zealand, no-one has EVER asked me that. Occasionally in the middle of winter I might get asked if my feet are cold, and I have had the odd "where's your shirt?" if I am giving my chafed sides a break from having crutches rubbing shirts against my skin and it is a cold day but even that doesn't happen often.

 

"right where I left them"

 

To my shame I'm afraid there's something in that question that brings out some aggression in me, so it's usually something along the lines of "what's it to you?". I don't really feel obliged to explain myself to some ignorant who wants to yell out at me. Luckily though I get asked that far less often than you might think

 

They are invisible like my hat and my glasses.

 

Haven't Been Asked This For Years, But Yesterday It

Happened.

A Local Business Owner Whom I Have Known For Many Years Asked Where

My Shoes Were, And I Replied I Don't Own Any....

He Then Offered To Buy Me A Pair.

This Now Takes The Number Of Offers From Business Owners To About

Five.

As A Friend Suggested To Me, Take Them All Up On Their Offers, And

Then Sell Them On E-Bay......:2thumbsup:.



Cheers Glen.

 

depends on my mood but usually i jsut tell whoever im not wearing any.....

I went to MD yeaterday to go see the Scorpions and i got asked by a security guy as i was going in "did you lose your shoes" i told him "yeah" had this look for a second like he was thinking and then just thumbed me on in...lol..i had a great time!

 

My answer fits every variation on that silly question and it NEVER gets me in trouble. I simply reply:

 

no habla ingles senor'..

 

- where are your shoes?
- where is your top hat?
- I don't have any.
- exactly...

 

Like some others this has been asked only a couple of times in memory. However it would probably be just to explain that I just didnt wish to wear any today

 

Funny how the standard questions seem to differ depending on what area you're in and what language is spoken; I rarely get 'where are your shoes'. Much more common is 'why are you barefoot' to which I reply 'I don't need shoes' or 'I always am' or something similar if I just pass in the street, but in the theme park, where there's time for a brief conversation, I reply with 'why are you wearing shoes?' Then whatever the reply is, I can usually shoot it down (cold -no need for gloves/hat either, for protection -I reply I never cut my feet and rarely even as much as scratch them, 'cause feet get dirty -I reply their feet get dirty in their shoes too, only in a less visible way... etc).

 

i don't like shoes,I use only when necessary

 

"just follow your nose"
