Ever wonder what the person who helps you get 300 different pairs of shoes is thinking when he goes into the backroom? Here's a glimpse.

1. I may be kneeling at your feet, but I’m not your servant. Lose the ’tude, dude.

2. Don’t ask for a size 7 if you’re a 9. No one cares how big your feet are (though we all appreciate a little foot powder, if it’s not too much trouble).

3. Shoes should be as wide as your feet and longer than your feet. It’s not just the distance from the heel to the end of the big toe that matters. It’s also the distance from the heel to the ball of the foot.

4. Don’t try on sample shoes if they’re not your size. “People smash their feet into shoes that are three sizes too small , and then I have sample shoes that have been stretched,” says a New York salesman.

5. Please don’t keep me waiting ten minutes while you talk on your cell phone. What if I did that to you?


6. If we don’t have exactly what you want, it may not exist. And I can’t cobble it together in the back room while you wait either.

7. Losing weight will make your knees, ankles, and feet feel better. Shoes—not so much.

Who in the fuck goes to shoe places like this. I swear if I'm in a shoe store, even if it's for dress shoes, I'm doing my own shoe shopping. No need for someone to be touching my feet or trying on a million pairs of shoes.

I havent even tried on shoes in years. And I havent seen anyone helping someone with shoes since I was little. Its fuckin mind boggling how you thought this needed to be made a thread, and the fact you took the time to use different colors text makes me sick. You suck, savage.

Damn man. Does it sting that bad? Explain to me your thought process in deciding this thread wasnt a terrible idea...go ahead. Is it empathy for all the people on the sicc that work at shoe stores? Or did you honestly think this was funny, or interesting at all in any way? Because I have the sneaking suspicion, deep down, you know you were born with out a sense of humor and when you fail so awfully, as you did here, its even apparent to your dumb ass. You are the least funny person that tries to make jokes on here, and its pathetic and getting annoying. Ill say it again, you suck savage.

lol you get on my case about making a thread you could have easily avoided, and get on my case about taking the time to do coloring of the text when it didn't take long at all. I think it took longer for you to come up with that paragraph than it did for me to make this whole thread. you're fucking lame as hell, and a faggot.

CO-sign. Did this thread really need to be made? This shit sounds like its directed at women and its from the early nineties (the last time i remember seeing anyone put shoe on anyone other the little kids feet). This has to be one of the most random/stupiedest thread topics ever brought up.:confused:
