That's what I heard as I entered the Kroger store by my house yesterday. Before I could figure out who was saying this an older lady showed me her sneakers and said "She must be talking to you dear". WTF? I turned and there was this lady looking at my feet and shaking her head. Again WTF.
For those who don't know my SO is a nail tech. I get regular (free mani's and pedi's) so my feet are in very nice condition and my nails are always polished just so. I am very anal about those kinds of details. that being said there is no way thet she was looking at a pair of skankie toes even if it is March!!!
I chose to ignore her and move on into the produce department to start my shopping hopefully in peace. As I moved along picking up a few things I became aware that she was following me and making that clucking sound you grandmother used to make when something disgusted her. Occasionally I would hear her say to no one in particular "(cluck sound) it's only march".
As I got further into the center of the produce department with my new best friend in tow, I stopped and looked at the feet of the 10 or 12 other women in the area and guess what? At least 75% were wearing sandals. After all it was 80 degrees out.
I went on with my shopping and after a while I didn't see her any more. As I got in the check out line she lines up right behind me. Sure enough tsk tsk cluck cluck "in March no less".
I turned around and said loud enough for many to hear "Maam, you have been staring at my feet for the last half hour, I'm not into whatever it is you want so please just leave me alone". Then to the cashier I said "suddenly I feel really creepy. Like I need to go home and take a shower." When I turned back the older lady with the foot thing was heading off to another register. The cashier and I had a good laugh about it.
My SO says I'm an asshole magnet.
