Whats the funniest thing you've stood on?

Just like my namesake, I peacefully digest all good and bad in life in my big stomach.

No worries, I will stay here.

Hmm, I don't think I have stood on many funny things! That gives me something to pay more attention to. I love standing on mud, but that is just comfortable, not funny.

 

I guess among the funniest things to walk barefoot on is soft-edged glass - especially this sort:

On a different web forum, I was pointed to an article dealing with how Nature finds a way to deal with man-made trash, in this case glass shards, which have been dumped onto a beach for decades (MacKerricher State Park near Fort Bragg, CA)...

What used to be dangerous to delicate bare soles has now become a splendid sight indeed, since sea water and sand have rounded the shards to sparkly pebbles, making the beach look like littered with gemstones:

Sometimes stepping on glass can be a special delight...
if the glass is in this beautiful shape.

Freshly fallen snow would be the most unusual thing I have walked in with bare feet. It happened by accident. I was flying back home in the winter and I did not know it was snowing in Christchurch, so my jandal (flip flop, and only a single one as my other leg was in a plaster cast) was in my checked in bag and I was doung my usual barefoot and crutches thing. It was a small commuter plane and there was no room in the overhead locker for my crutches so I gave them to the cabin crew and hopped to my seat.
When we were about to land the pilot came on the P.A. system and announced that the temperature was 2 degrees and there was fresh snow on the ground. I looked at my bare toesand began to wonder if I had made a bit of a mistake.
When we landed I hopped to the door and as I got to the stairs to hop to the botttom where my crutches were waiting the girl saw my bare toes sticking out of my cast and said something about my toes are going to get cold. Then she realised that my good foot was bare...
So my first experience of bare feet in snow was getting from the aircraft to the terminal to colelct my back-pack and pull out my emergency jandal. Then I still had to get to my car. Jandals and crutches in snow are not a good mix. I made thewalk across the carpark barefooted as well. THAT sure got some looks.

 

I went to a junkyard yesterday. I was talking to the girl in the office, dressed in my usual jeans, topless, bare foot and on crutches with a leg in a cast. The stuff I wanted to see was at the back of the yard. He gave me the option of threading my way through long grass and bits of old car (difficult with crutches) or a longer, muddy path. mad isn't easy whne you are on crutches either, but it sounded easier. As I was about to head out, she took her eyes off my bare chest and bright green cast and said "You are in bare feet! You'll never make it across there." I assured her my sole was pretty tough. Off I went, and it was a real test of being barefoot. the biggest surprise was when I stood on a pile of fragments of broken glass from an old toughened glass windscreen. That felt weird! I left with the dirtiest, muddiest and oil covered foot I ahve seen in a long time.

 

Shoes! Ha!

Not going to try that again!

 

On a barefoot hike or a city stroll, we often see things in our path.

Quite often it's funny to step on them because they massage the soles of the feet (piece of crushed stone, twig), or it's nice to feel the squishes underfoot (dropped food in the city, ...), or the sometimes sticky ground.

Sometimes it's useful, too, as stepping on garden pests like slugs or some snails. This is much better for the environment than chemicals :Angel_anim: , and it's nice to take revenge for spoiled plants with tough barefooter soles :smash: .

So, if you aren't afraid of filthy solepads and arches, it's funny to enjoy the miscellaneousness the ground offers. :cheers2:

 

I don't mind trampling through mud and other muck with bare feet - love it in fact, but purposely stepping on discarded food or squishy critters? mmm no thanks.

 

A new experience yesteday. When I went into the hardware shop the sun was shining. When I came out it was hailing! Hailstones under a bare sole are a really weird feeling. Not so easy with crutches either!

 

same here, hot and soft gooey tar;
aside from that, not sure one would call it funny but cow shit when running around in a field with some friends at a church retreat;

 

Drunk leprechauns. Pretty funny.
