Still has Mark Wahlberg in that movie...

Incredibly fucking weird. This isn’t the first time she’s made me raise my eyebrows and wonder wtf the problem is, and I don’t know why. I don’t care why, either, I just want it to stop.

Well that was fucking weird.

I exclusively access Jez on my phone, so I honestly have barely any idea how Kinja works.

“I really want to believe that people aren’t that stupid.”

“I slept with that bar skank you hate, but I told you I was polyamorous. I’m just being honest. You can’t be mad at me for that.”

HR will prob just be like, “Tell her it bothers you.” I just recently was switched to an HR team (even though I am not HR) and basically they just tell people to deal with their own problems when they are low level like this. But yeah, this person just needs to chill.

Okay, but you go to HR and say, “Frundelin rarely wears shoes in the office.” And then what? They tell her to wear shoes? What if she has a condition? What if absolutely no one else in the world cares? She’s not propping them up on your desk, or making you smell them in meetings. She’s not preparing food with her…

Shirts are at least at eye level and unavoidable to look at. You have to shift your gaze down to see someone’s feet.

*sigh*

Podophobic — if your office doesn’t have a dress code, then you need to mind your own fucking business. I mean, I have plenty of opinions about how people should dress at work. Most of them are stupid and I keep them to myself. They include:

No bare feet

I think some people forget that the people wear their shoes outside! and then in the office! and in the bathroom! and in the kitchen! I mean, if this lady is barefoot, she’s presumably not barefoot outside and so she’s not tracking in outside dirt. Haha. That said, no one wants to see her feet.

Foot problem person - This is an issue because you don’t like her. She isn’t putting her feet in your food, or in your face, and you didn’t mention an odor, so my guess is you have pre-existing beef with said co-worker.

My suggestion - ignore the non-issue, and get back to work. This person affects you because you’re…

Counterpoint: all signs point to working in a ‘real office’ as being more or less hell.

I don’t understand how in a small office, the boss could be unaware that someone who had worked there for 8 years didn’t wear shoes. As a new employee, you don’t have much political capital. Don’t waste what you have causing trouble with a long-term employee.

i don’t understand why the barefeet bother this person so much. they are not your feet, she isn’t putting her feet on you - just look away and think to yourself “what a gross asshole” and let it go.

I find the barefoot thing gross and would never do it but why exactly is it the coworkers problem? She’s moving around the same freaking germs she would with shoes and it sucks for her to have it on her feet but it effects anyone else how?

I don’t get being perturbed by someone else’s bare feet in an office setting, assuming they don’t stink. Just like...don’t look at her feet? I spend 95% of my time already not looking at people’s feet, so why not make it an even 100%, you know?

You know when someone says “I bet you’re fun at parties!” and doesn’t mean it? I bet the salt/pepper guy thinks people mean it when they say it to him.
