Can you pick up your feet?!?

This will be short and sweet:

Is it so hard to pick up one’s feet while walking?

And, since this IS The Pit…

Anyone who drags their feet is a moron and should have them removed. Honestly, where did you grow up that it was OK to drag your feet? If ever there was a reason for an execution…

Heembo

PS - Pick up your feet when you walk, assholes!

Uhhhh…huh. And this is annoying why?

The sound of a person dragging their feet across a carpet is enough to drive me crazy. Additionally, I think it is a sign of a lazy character - if you can’t even pick up your feet enough to avoid the ground when you walk, what else are you too lazy to do?

Anyway, it’s mostly the sound of them dragging that pisses me off.

your new mantra is “Pick Them Up!”

I’m with you heembo. Not so much feet on carpet as people with big floppy sandals who just scoot along the floor:

sssshhhhflp
ssssfhhhflp

it just looks so fucking lazy. My husband has been nearly driven to GBH from people shuffling along in front of us.

You know, not all of us have legs that are just the right length for your precious little sensibilities. Some people have very short legs. The barely reach the ground, and picking them up while walking is easy. Other people like me have legs so long that they basically cut a trough in the earth when we walk. So now I suppose you want everybody to have surgery so their legs are cut so that they exactly reach the ground, just to make you happy.

Selfish, insensitive jerk.

Alrighty, the sound of them draggin on carpet I can agree on. Quite annoying. I Just didn’t get that from the OP. Carry on.

Oh, I’m sorry. Are those my feet? Let me get them.

Really, I apologize for leaving them around like that.

Damn this leprosy, anyway.

Since when does the Jester tell the King it is OK to carry on?

I’ll carry on if I want to, but not because you told me to, Jester!

Of course, I’m jesting. I’ll carry on just as you suggested, but I will do so while making sure I am not dragging my feet!

Oh, and Scylla, you need to get a clue. I am assuming you are joking. If you are not, you need a serious slap to the head. But of course you were joking - no one could be that stupid and mean it.

But i must shuffle my feet when i pretend i am not Keyser Soze and just some cripple…

Actually no, I can’t. I have a slightly curved spine that causes my center of balance to be slightly forward. Additionally my high arched feet prevent my ankles from flexing upward as high as yours can. The result is I drag my feet. But I realize that I am very fortunate that I can walk at all and I take great delight in this.

Blacklaw walks back and forth dragging his feet in front of heembo a dozen times.

I guess it must be easy for you who’s legs just reach perfectly to preach to the rest of the world.

What the fuck do you want me to do with my extra two inches of leg bone, stand in a hole?

Who decided what height to make the floors and ground? They sure as shit didn’t ask me.

They make wheelchair accessible buildings, you’d think the least they could do is cut a trough in the floor so those of us with long legs can move around without wearing out our shoes.

next thing you know you’re going to start bitching when you step on my tail. Why don’t you watch where you’re walking?

All I expect is a little fucking consideration.

It’s idiots like you that make it hard for the rest of us to just get along.

Well, I tried picking my feet up once while I was walking, and it didn’t work so well. I bent over and grabbed myself by the ankles and gave a good yank. There was a bright flash of light and a loud noise and next thing I knew I was having this late-70’s skateboarding-in-empty-swimming -pools flashback, with all these people standing around looking down at me saying, Dude, that was awesome, you okay?

Is it OK if I drag my knuckles?

What about my mom? She says she doesn’t wear skirts because her legs don’t go all the way up.

What about my 4’10" former roommate, who once had a dude in a bar tell her she should sue the city for building the sidewalks so close to her ass?

Well, is it OK if Lido shuffles?

My boss (one of them ,anyway) does this.

Drives me nuts.
From the office to the hallway, the hallway to the trade floor, back, forth, back, forth–

scraaplop! Scraaplop!

Sometimes there’s even the change& keys rhythm section adding to the orchestra. I can hear this man walking from the other side of the building.

I hate him.

Oh, and how do you make a skeleton?

Put a leper in a wind tunnel.

They’re not lazy at all; you’re the lazy-ass for picking up your dainty little feets just to avoid a little character-building friction.

Scylla’s the one who needs to get a clue? Alllrighty then.

(Finagle - insert sound of me bursting out in guffaws of laughter)

To those of you who hate feet draggers, I salute you.

To the rest of you fucking assholes, I say live and let live.

Heembo.

PS - Pick up your feet and fuck off

You owe me for the paper towels and windex I had to use to clean the coke off my monitor! :smiley:

BWaahahaa!
