The Angry Fat Man

Okay, I'll get straight to the point....PICK UP YOUR DAMNED FEET PEOPLE!!!

So I'm sitting in the high traffic area of the office, which means I hear a lot of gossip and get marginally annoyed when loud people congregate near my cube. But the worst offender of human decency is the foot dragger. My boss clued me in to this one day when he was in my cube.

He's the kind that seems like there was no nonsense at home as a kid, mom and dad ruled with an iron fist and a gentle hug. A girl walked by, I consider her a girl, because she dresses like she's 19, when she's probably lower-30s...anyway, she shuffles by dragging her feet like a petulant 4 year-old, for whom life is now over because she got yelled at. Or maybe her shoes are too big, or maybe she's down...whatever.

So, now that the boss has clued me in, it's like those damned Jesus signs where you can't see it, but when you do, it's all you can ever see. Same thing here, I swear that at least 1 out of ever 6 people that walks by drags their feet, and it's the same folks everytime. I mean that must be the sound of money to the shoe people, because clearly the soles of their shoes must be wearing out faster.....ARGH!!!!
