I wear sandals. I wear socks. I know that isn't an acceptable combination; however, it's 80 here today and although the building is air conditioned it is uncomfortable to wrap my feet in thick leather dress shoes. Hence the compromise. I also only shave a couple of times a week - isn't this why we become programmers? So we can get away with being slobs? Any ways, a co-worker said "You look comfortable". I think I've been insulted.

I would shave if your co-worker was a girl.

Socks and Sandals are so wrong. In fact seeing feet in a business environment is unprofessional. I have banned all open-toed footwear in my office.

Why don't you have some light shoes in the office? I always wear them in office. It's a nice common thing in our company (of course unless you've got customers around!)

Are you trying to drive chiropodists out of business?

True story. Years ago, I had an ingrowing toenail while I was working away. After searching around, I found a chiropodist who would be prepared to come to my hotel room to deal with the problem (nothing shady going on here - this was not a euphemism). At 7.30PM prompt chiropodist turns up, so far so good, and takes a look at the problem. For the next hour, I was subject to the utmost pain as he dealt with the toenail. At the end of it, I couldn't put any pressure on my foot and the person who was in the next room must have wondered what on earth was going on in my room with all the grunts of pain and swearing taking place. At the end of it, the sadist informed me that he left nursing and got into chiropody because he enjoyed inflicting pain. Had that been his opening gambit, I would have said no thanks.

It's very kind of you to come from being insulted by a colleague, just so that we can mock you as well.

Toward the end of her life, when she started to have difficulty getting out, my Mother had regular visits from one of these sadists. If I was home I had to leave the room otherwise she would be inhibited from giving vent to her feelings.
