I can think of many better things to do with my time than tell some random in a supermarket to put some shoes on

Just another day in Colonnades

Ive seen it occasionally in Coles CBD.

Mind you security literally tail them on their entry and exit, its almost always street degenerates.

I just don’t see it as a big deal
Each to their own
People are so flipping uptight

No one’s uptight and it’s not a big deal. It’s just not civilised . Footwear became popular many eons ago and is worn for a reason. Protection. But, if you want to subject your feet to whatever muck is on the ground - spit, food, mud, broken glass, whatever has been tramped in by many others, even in shops - fine, but train a bit of caution into your kids at least.

And no, I certainly wouldn’t say anything to anyone - on their own feet be it

That's a lot of words for no big deal

Wearing no shoes at shops is very bogan and not something that is for me. I judge people when I see it lol

Exactly. No one in here is suggesting to be a "Karen" and complain or tell someone how to behave. I mean the thread is after all "Things in life you just dont understand".

Its probably more telling that people think that there is nothing wrong with this behaviour, its disgusting and dangerous.

The only places I'd go barefoot is home, pool and beach.

Please enlighten me as to what is telling about my not giving a shit?

The only person it impacts is the person without the shoes

I like to pick random places on Google Maps and have a look around on street view. What I don't understand is how you can be on one street and it is a recent update from in the last 2-3 years but go down a street the runs off the one you are on (or even sometimes it happens on the same street) and the image is from years ago. I was just randomly looking at a place and one street I was on the view was from May 2023 but when I went down a street running off that one the view was from June 2009. I would have thought the street view car would do all the streets in the area at the same time.

Our street before it got updated in 2023, was last photographed in 2013, at one end of the street, that street was taken in 2016, the other street that we join up with was taken in 2020 and half way down that street was 2013

Right? Where am I gonna find the time to tell young women to cover up at the beach if I'm busy getting shoes on shoppers.

You've got time for that?

You make time for the important things in life.

How is it disgusting or dangerous? I have jumped out of many a car while on holiday on the coast and gone into a shop or shopping centre with no shoes on.

'I was told off by 3 people': Aussie scolded over 'bogan' supermarket act​

A Perth man has taken to Reddit after having a negative experience going barefoot into a shopping centre in the area.

Sorry I simply just do not understand or comprehend how someone can go barefoot to the shopping centre.

Yes its a quintessential bogan act.

It's just gross, I wouldn't even remotely consider doing it knowing how much broken glass is in my local area. I don't even like going barefoot outside my own house.

 

[nobbyiscool]

I have OCD, and it irrationally bothers me when my own feet get dirty from my own balcony - and I'm not even barefoot, I'm wearing slides out there.

The thought of being barefoot anywhere in public, other than probably the beach, physically repulses me.

Agree. The ground is more filthy than people think or realize.

While the article is about London, England, its not a far reach to extrapolate the statements made and apply it to Australia.

“Street urination “is everywhere now”, he says, “because toilets were closed, so people were being forced to go wherever they needed to go – alleyways, street corners, whatever. Now you’ve got this smell, and staining on the streets. That’s just urination, never mind the defecation side of things. It’s a major problem.”

The war against wild toileting: is there any way to stop people weeing – and worse – in the street?

Public peeing has become commonplace, with some men even urinating through letterboxes. Why has it become so popular and can splashback paint put a stop to it?

The number of people fined for urinating in public in Canberra has more than doubled compared to last summer figures, police say.

You antipodean prudes! In France it's just culturally accepted.

I need fake feet shoes like the hobbits in the lord of the rings so I can disgust people in comfort

So it’s not the act of no shoes, but more you’re concerned for their welfare

Yeah I reckon I'd be the same.

So am I. Was waiting at a set of pedestrian lights and the guy who came later pressed the button on the other side so I mouthed I pressed it you dickhead

I mouth that and have even verbally said the same to people who arrive 1 minute after I do and proceed to press it.

Do you think the button is valuable and belongs to the last person who touched it?
