u/Crumpled-Mess

There is a trend going on in major league baseball where large groups of fans, mostly young men, take off their shirts and wave them in circles above their heads while cheering for their team. Everyone seems supportive of this trend.

This makes me optimistic that a barefoot trend, where entire groups of friends decide to go out to eat or for some kind of fun recreation barefoot, could happen. I don’t really need to participate in that, but it would make barefooting seem more normal and acceptable I think.

I have to report to prison in a few weeks due to a stupid mistake I made. I will have to be there between three and six months. It is minimum security. Can I do the time barefoot or do they require I wear some kind of footwear for meals and recreation? What about at my prison job, if I can get a job in the library or something like that, can I perform the job barefoot?

Has anyone tried this?

I just shared that as I was entering Whole Foods, a girl leaving the grocery store said to me as she passed, “I love that you’re barefoot.” For some reason this post and all responses got deleted. I don’t know what rule it violated, but it was just a compliment. Geez.

I went to my mother in laws house for a party yesterday. I decided to show up barefoot. No one said anything — not even “hey where are your shoes?” or something banal like that — and I spent five hours hanging out, making and eating sandwiches from a buffet and watching golf. Didn’t even have shoes with me. I’ve never gone barefoot in front of my in-laws family before, but I wonder why now since no one seemed to bat an eye, even though they had to notice as it was a fairly enclosed space.
