Overheard at work (short, weird)

[Gerrinson]

This isn't sucky so much as weird...

I was walking through the guest library at the inn today and there was a couple there. The woman sits down at the computer we provide for guest service and says to her boyfriend/husband "I'll just Google it quick before we go. But first I have to take off my socks and shoes." At which point she began to remove her socks and shoes.

I'm very as to why she needed to take off her socks and shoes to look something up on Google. Possibly she's doing it wrong?

[Saydrah]

Did she type with her toes?

[Emrld]

could she have rocks in her shoes that were hurting . . .

or maybe there was something bothering her feet so she wanted to be able to see them while getting google medical advice?

[Sheldonrs]

Maybe she was looking for a foot fetish group. ;-)

[lightmylamb]

Maybe she had a strange foot ailment and was googling to see what it was. Either that or her feet were really hot...

[SuperB]

...must have been counting.

[Snowbird]

I know! She'd recently seen 'Die Hard' and was emulating John McClain because they'd just gotten off a long flight.

Or she was just weird.

"...if it weren’t for my horse, I wouldn’t have spent that year in college..."

Careful. You might be treading near aneurysm territory here.

I gotta go with interrupted couples conversation here:

On the way to the library -

"Are my sandals still in the car?"

"I think so."

"I can't stand these pumps. I'm ditching them now. Do you want to eat at Joe's?"

"Sure, but how do we get down there?"

"I'll look it up on the computer over there..."

At which point you enter hearing range, and the rest follows.

[Difdi]

Perhaps she needed to count higher than 144?

[allniter]

...must have been counting.

Definitely the best answer here

[marasbaras]

My bet ... it's just habit.

I don't even like going around barefoot at home, much less whipping off my socks and shoes in public.
