Whats the big deal?

We all have feet.

They're trying to demonstrate a pedal, not purposely gross you out with their toes.

Where I live you take your shoes of when you go indoors - they go apeshit if you keep them on, no exceptions.

Yup, people have to take their shoes off if they want to come into my house. I would kick you out if you came in with your snow covered shoes and tried walking in my carpet or hardwood floors.

However, if you don't like it when people don't wear shoes to do demos, then don't watch those videos. Or even better, make your own demos.

So I said to myself, "Oh that would be a funny little thread...the guys over at the TGP will get a kick out of that and we can all have a laugh".

Oops.

I went to go take a police report from a family that summoned me to there house and upon my arrival (that's police jargon) I was told to remove my boots. Uh....yeah, right - we've all seen Die Hard, you don't take your shoes off!

Cover 'em up. Take time out of your day to entertain me...though, I didn't ask you too...and put your shoes on.

Seriously, I don't care, I just like the police story.
