Feet and shoe decorum

[johnlyons121]

Responding to the thread in the tickling discussion forum about the shoes that make people think of tickling set me thinking.

Tiffany mentioned going almost a whole day at school before her assistant pricipal ordered her out of her barefoot sandals into something with a sole on them. In a nightclub recently, I met a highly attractive teacher whose sandals showed her vampish scarlet toenail varnish. She told me the college authorities would frown on her wearing that combination of colour and shoe in the lecture room, pesumably - she thought - because it would be deemed inappropriately provocative. So she'd have to change or remove the colour, or wear a more closed shoe. Or wear Argyll socks with her sandals.

Well, obviously it would be provocative for me and many of the like-minded folks on these forums, but here's my question. Has anyone got into trouble or been cautioned over the appropriateness of their footwear (or lack of same), for example as a student or in the workplace? Or a shop, restaurant, place of worship, etc?

Peace,

John.

No. But I got in trouble once for wearing a hat to a township council meeting that said "Balls!" on it. Man, did THOSE monkeys squirm!

Well, I got this Stone Cold Steve Austin shirt that says Fuck Fear in the front and Drink Beer in the back. And even though there's a skull where the U should be people in church still think it was swearing... go figure😀

I got tossed-out of class once for a shirt that read "Jesus Is Coming, And Is He Pissed!". I miss that shirt...

As far as the feet-thing goes, the only reason I'm gonna get thrown-out for feet is `cause mine are so fugly. Many Forum members would go gaga down here, as most of the ladies wear sandles or less everywhere. Me, I don't have anymore of a foot fetish than I do for every other scrumpcious area of a woman's body, but I will say that I see some primo feetsies on a daily basis.

I know of a girl who was queueing up in an American chemist (drug store) once, who was battered to the ground, nearly had her shoulder dislocated by the c**t of a rent-a-cop in a bid to arrest her and then charged with assault. (Assault with a $1 bill no less, although I can't imagine just how she accomplished it.)

Her crime? She was barefoot. The owner of the store decided it was an issue of public health (completely and utterly untrue, there isn't a single law or local regulation against it) and ordered out. She asked if she could buy what she was queing for, as she was now only one space away from the till. The response was for this fat, fucking bastard, turd-strangling shit-bag to beat her nearly senseless. (Apparently her polite request was deemed a refusal to leave the premises, which made her guilty of trespass.) So she gets charged with trespass and assault (she threw said $1 bill at the guard, allegedly) and loses most of her savings paying for her defence, completely losing any chance she had of going to college, because she now had no money.

The result of this? The court found her guilty of both offences and fined her yet ANOTHER $3,000. Can someone please tell me where the fuck your justice system went wrong?


And after all this, do you know what it was she was queueing up to buy?
A pair of flip-flops. 🙄


Another wonderful example of American justice occured when a barefoot 19 year old girl was nearly launched into orbit when she trod on a manhole cover that had been electrified due to the negligence of local workmen. They'd left an underground cable exposed and touching the side of the shaft, below road level. The judge refused to grant her any damages, because he said she was silly to have been barefoot. Hmmm. So someone with nail-shod boots? Someone drops something on the floor and touches the cover when they bend over to pick it up? Doncha just love judges?
