Isn't Homo erectus the dirtiest name?


Okay. Now an informal poll, because I'm confused. I was sitting on the tufon next to erin and all of a sudden she said, "You're going to have to put on socks because I can't stand looking at your bare feet." Naturally, I became offended, but she explained that they weren't ugly feet or anything, she just can't stand looking at anyone's feet. She hates feet. She has a feet problem.

I have perfectly nice feet, by the way.

I have known for some time that Gina has the same problem. She says that both her brother-in-law and her friend Evelyn are similarly disturbed by feet; they find them disgusting and, I quote, "Can't handle them". They "don't even like looking at (their) own feet".

What the fuck is this? I have never heard of this. And I asked them about it, like, are they sexualizing feet and that's why it disturbs them to see their friends' feet? But they maintain that it's not a "foot fetish" thing, they just hate feet. And they can barely talk about it except to say, "I hate feet, I can't stand feet."

What the fuck? So, does anyone else have a problem with feet, and if so, can they explain this to me?
