Crazy Women

“I am NOT cutting off part of my toes to wear any kind of shoe. Eeeeewwwww.”

“hehe, seeing the name of the thread and who started it, I thought this thread was about ME!

o(=D”

“Captain Ahab becomes a fashion statement.”

“LOL @ twigeater! Silly little moose person!

I did a search on this thread title and was surprised it had not been used. Most men I know think dang near all women are crazy!”

“Once I had to have a custom orthotic made and went to see the shoe guy who makes 'em. By the time I left I was majorly PO'ed as he went on and on about women stuffing their feet into shoes that were too small for them so men would think they had small feet. I thought how #&%!$ing absurd, and returned to the office totally insulted and on a full out rant.

Once I finished my rant, a female employee of mine meekly spoke up and said, "I do that" and told me how she shoves her size 7s into a size 6. She had on sandals that day, and man, I felt sorry for her freakin' toes. Woulda been a service to them (and to those of us who had to look at 'em) to hack 'em off.”

“I too thought it was about twigeater!”

“I thought this was going to be about Crazy Woman Creek
In the Wyoming Bighorn Mountains.
Been there many times.”

“Dang, twiggy.
There seems to be a groundswell of opinion that you belong in the 'Crazy Woman' category!
Don't know what to make of that. ;)”

“I've never heard of women worrying about the size of their feet. Do small feet turn guys on?”

“well I do, flirtypants, I know JUST what to make of it - a boiled bunny! ;)

me neither smiley that's why I thought it was so absurd!”

“No! not small feet, although it does turn a few on.

Big feet too for those with a foot fetish.

Most men prefer something in between j/k”

“The size of one's feet is not at the top of my list as to what makes someone attractive (or not attractive).

I'm just still in shock that someone would cut off their toes in the name of fashion. Wouldn't that screw up your balance? My aunt had diabetes and lost all of her toes on one foot, she had a pretty rough time walking.”

“Men could care less about feet, unless they are Hobbit feet. Like REALLY HUGE and hairy.
We are too busy looking at your boobs. ;)”

“In between the feet?

Feet, like personalities, are something that cannot be #&%!$ed.”

“I agree smiley, it is dumb.

I was trying on shoes one day at LLB and asked my friend what she thought. She said, "well they're kinda big." I almost rolled on the floor I was laughing so hard.”

“You get to visit L.L.Bean?

Shut up!!”

“TomT, correction.

there are some major #&%!$ed personalities around”

“well he!l Tommy, it's just down the road a piece!”

“Ok, I admit I have not purchased a pair or two of shoes in my life because they made my feet "look big" but that's a pretty rare occassion. Of course, I'm not exactly a runway model anyway!

Thanks Stove, glad to know you won't be lookin' at my nasty feet!

I had a friend in college who wouldn't look at anyone's feet, and he would freak out if you put your foot anywhere near him. They grossed him out, even nice feet. His were kinda nasty, though. I don't know how he sleeps in bed with his wife, feet inevitably touch sometime!”

“This thread reminds me of this article from The Onion last week...”

“This was on Dateline (I think, or "20/20") a few weeks ago.

I was appalled then and remain appalled now. And you know what else (major rant coming)... we ALL wear footwear that is not good for us, hence the ever increasing need for orthotics later in life.

Look at little kids slopping around in sandals or thongs that are half off their feet. Look at other sandals. Look at clogs. These are fashion statements, NOT SHOES OF GOOD FORM THAT ARE GOOD FOR YOUR FEET.

I can tell my feet are all f*ed up from wearing my "cute hippie sandals" for about two summers. I'm getting blisters at odd places when hiking cuz of how my feet sit in those things.

Also... and I am guilty of this, by the way... so many people buy the cheap shoe knock-offs at WalMart. Well, ya know, they truly don't have the support ya need in the way you need it.

LOL! As you can see, I've thought about this a lot. I almost think it's time to get some organization going to teach people how to buy and wear GOOD shoes. (yes, I'll be the executive director and on "Dateline")... lol

Course... ya don't think the high-falutin' shoe manufacturers would like that now, do ya?? Someone pointing out how bad their shoes are??? Be it Walmart's manufacturers or some high end, ultra high heeled shoes that you can't stick your pinky toe in...

End of rant”

“We bought our house from the family of a woman who had died. She was pretty old, but she died when she did because she had refused to buy larger shoes when her feet got bigger as she aged, then developed a bunion, which got infected. She went into the hospital, developed a worse infection, and died. At least that's the story we got from a neighbor....”

“Hey Lizs, I have got some pretty reasonable hiking boots from WalMart, good fit and work well.

But if the demand is for stuff that looks good, then that is what the store carries. The store cannot stay in business by carrying shoes that no one will buy, no matter how good they are for your feet.

When no one buys glossy shoes anymore, the store will not have them taking up shelf space.”

“I wore the orthotic for a year. Supposedly I pulled/hurt something at the gym, I guess. The doc told me that Berkenstock type shoes (not necessarily the name brand) were the best shoes.

I do wear Birks and don't even own a pair of heels. My right foot is 1/2 size smaller and I have a high instep which really limits me in shoe choices.

Of course when I was a young chickee-doo I wore 3 inch heels, but I smoked as well, so I guess I wasn't too smart anyway.”

>8^P”

“I have huge feet. I'm 5'8" and 137 pounds and I need a size 10 shoe to hold me up (weird fact: I used to wear a 9 until after training for my first marathon--my feet grew a whole size).

I can't wear the big clunky shoes (like Doc Martins) because they look so ridiculously huge.

My Brooks running shoes look like big pillows on my feet.

It aint pretty.”

“Well, you know what they say about women with big feet...













There's more foot to rub...”

“i noticed a change in shoe size but blamed it on the size difference in the US (compared to German sizes) So it is true...feet can grow...always thought it was an old wifes tale.

i am lucky, my feet are pretty "normal". little bit of a high arch, a fat big toe, but that's about it. No bunions or anything else so far.”

“By the way, I was fully grown when I did my first marathon--30 yrs old.”

“Why are women so paranoid about their feet?”

“Men could care less about feet, unless they are Hobbit feet. Like REALLY HUGE and hairy.
We are too busy looking at your boobs. ;)"

OMG....LOL.....”

“Women!!!!!!!!

Can't live with them.
Can't (fill in the blank).


One of my female coworkers came around and was unusually friendly.
We chatted for awhile and then she asked if I was using one of my file cabinets inside my office.
She explained she needed another file cabinet for such and such and could she have one of mine?
I told her I needed it and she went away.
An hour or so latter, I was passing the area that holds our excess equipment to be hauled off and spotted a file cabinet like what she was asking for.
I quickly went to her office and told her the good news. I had found her a file cabinet!

She turned her nose up at me and informed me she had seen that one already and it was not a suitable color.

ARRRRWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!! ;-)”

“OMG. Women are sooo stupid sometimes! If a woman was President everything would be color coordinated and organized. Such a task would cost more than the military budget but to them it would be important.”

“StoveStomper,

She was sexually harrassing you. You should file a complaint.”

“I laughed about it with my other coworkers.
I thought it was funny. ;-)”

“crazy women


that's redundant...”

“She was sexually harrassing you. - bitpusher

I wish! She's cute! ;-)”

“Dub, you don't know what the heck you are talking about. Go suck on an egg!”

“Didn't you tell her you'd paint it for her and then place it where she wanted it!?”

“Tell her you just want to be friends, then drop by with some wine and brie so you can share your feelings.”

“SS you got it easy. If she was in college like the girls I know she would have torn your head off for bringing her the wrong color. Then she'd tell all her friends about how mean you are and how you don't understand her.”

“there goes sexist dub again : P”

“We're not all that way.
She sounds sort of idiotic.”

“"We're not all that way.
She sounds sort of idiotic."



She sounds like a #&%!$.”

“Us TT women would gladly color coordinate your suit with your casket ;)”

“TT women are of a different breed than your average college girl :-)”

“You obviously misinterpreted an attempt on her part to get into your personal file. This is why she turned down the other cabinet.

Now who's stupid? ;)”

“Women are crazy? This whole time I thought it was me. Whew, that's a load off my mind.”
