NJ2 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Yup, me neither. Most folk don't even notice.They do. They’re too polite or disgusted to say anything though. Would you like to be the one who questioned “sock walker”? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have probably done a cost benefit analysis of confronting you about wearing your tatty socks. Benefits - No more awkward glances between staff about being exposed to your manky feet. Costs - Potential that sock boy could be provoked to go on a kill crazy rampage by being confronted regarding sock habits. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Did you ask her what she was doing whilst timing your conversation?Been making a point of asking her all day if her conversations are work related. She’s yet to snap though I think it’s close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not customer facing and I'm not walking around a supermarket or stock room or factory floor without shoes. Although I'd do it in most offices. My comfort is more important than potential reactions of weirdos who think that a person walking short distances on the odd occasion is in any way odd. 1 minute ago, ICTChris said: They have probably done a cost benefit analysis of confronting you about wearing your tatty socks.

You are mistaken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you share an office with a load of foot fetishists and they are secretly getting sexual pleasure from your exposed hooves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polite, shocked or scared explains the lack of reaction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I would be terrified if I saw a co worker with his shoes off in the office. Terrified! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 A girl in my office wears slippers at work. Takes her shoes off when she gets in and puts these pink slippers on every day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’d be a natural reaction, given the setting - the workplace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skidding of cotton on carpet could create some friction and therefore creating static and therefore shocking someone if you then touched them! Therefore, start wearing shoes! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Blades Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Kicking your shoes off is perfectly acceptable, if you’ve got a 5metre walk to the printer, why would you put your shoes back on for a 15 second return trip? If you’re going to the canteen 200m away, then that’s a little strange. What DA is doing is perfectly acceptable IMVHO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
