Seeing all these powerful peoples’s heads roll, I can see why the French got so into the whole Reign of Terror thing.

I absolutely agree. I just don’t understand how being barefoot is inconsiderate to anybody else.

It doesn’t appear the people running the office have a problem with the lack of shoes and they get to decide what professional means in their office. Newbie should mind her own business.

So, you’ve decided that not wearing shoes has “a subtle ring of disrespect”? Because I think that’s ridiculous. What if I think that not wearing formal business wear has “a subtle ring of disrespect”? Or that you should wear on makeup because “If I feel like I can put on makeup everyday - then its barely a minimum ask…

I think professionalism is honestly kind of a form of assholery after a point. I saw an article where someone got fired for wearing a Halloween costume that was tasteful to work. Wow people need to relax a bit.

THIS. Feet aren’t nasty unless you don’t wash ever, which is gross in itself and has nothing to do with your feet and everything to do with personal hygiene in general. Get over feet.

I starred this and then had to delete it when I got to the asshole part.

look - i am not saying that you should go around at work not wearing shoes. all i am saying is - why is it such a big deal that you had to write to an advice column about it? confront the person or ignore it! it just shouldn’t be this big a deal. it’s just feet and they are not your feet and she isn’t shoving them in…

Right, as long as the feet don’t stink, it’s not like it’s making the office environment less sanitary for everyone else. Whether your coworkers shoes are tracking around dirt or their feet are tracking around dirt, the result is the same to you. And most people’s feet start to stink when they’re in shoes or sandals,…

How so? I hate shoes so I’m often barefoot, and I’ve never had any sanitary issue with it. (nor has anyone around me)

Thank you!!! I hate having things on my feet - the first thing I do when I get home is take off my shoes. (and I also rarely have shoes on while I’m in my office)

That was something I really appreciated about “Atomic Blonde,” in all of the really insane physical stuff they kept her in a flat. I’m a shoe freak and it’s always bothered me continuity wise when you have a character in a stiletto and then suddenly she has to do something cool and the shoe changes. It’s…

This reminds me of the argument that men make when they don’t like seeing women breastfeeding, which is that they should be able to walk around without pants on. Aka the two situations (bare feet vs. no pants/shirt) do not equate to each other. Someone walking around without pants or a top would be them showing their…

There is this new culture that has formed due to social media where people throw random complaints about others out into the void, like nature or the world at large is going to take care of it. Don’t like something someone is doing - GO FUCKING TALK TO THEM ABOUT IT. One of the reasons I left that shithole Facebook is…

Yup, this is a prime case of people not minding their own business. If the boss isn’t upset, the worker shouldn’t worry her head about it. I’m not a fan of looking at my morbidly obese co-worker wearing a plunging crop top that shows off her ugly Justin Bieber tattoo. But that is neither my circus nor my monkees. If…

really? you equate feet with genitalia? you really think that going bare footed is the same as not wearing pants?

I drive barefoot. I have done it for years, even when I had a standard.

They do know their shit...

I highly recommend a heated (water) bidet if you have issues with hemorrhoids.

We’ve been using Bidets for a few years now in the house and I absolutely hate having to go anywhere else to poop. You’re right, paper only makes no sense!
