If you walked a mile in someone else's shoes....

Do you think they would really appreciate that?

Suppose you had athlete's foot, or bromadrosis?

What if your feet were bigger than theirs?

Worse yet, what if those were their only pair of shoes? Now what the hell are they going to do. You're a mile away, and maybe they suddenly have to go to the store...

2. Reminds me of something I read somewhere
You should always walk a mile in someone else's shoes. That way, when they realize their shoes are gone, they're barefoot and you're a mile away. :rofl:

3. In the land of the barefoot, the stolen-shoes shod man is king.
Where's the "nodding wisely" smiley when you need it...

'till I met a man who had no feet. So I said, 'You got any shoes you're not using'?"

I wouldn't recommend walking a mile in another person's underwear, either.

10. You know...
"Worse yet, what if those were their only pair of shoes? Now what the hell are they going to do. You're a mile away, and maybe they suddenly have to go to the store..."

That's actually happened to me. My little brother stole my shoes constantly last summer.
