        Stepping on wet carpet in thick socks.

        Inb4: deleted for hate crime. Sorry not sorry.

          Walking two steps outside in socks and accidentally stepping on a slug… It was like 37 years ago… I’m still traumatized.

            You want a slug-related traumatizing story ? I had a cat with very long hairs, there was a cat door to the garden outside but usually he slept inside. One morning i wake up and feel the cat close to me in the bed, something very common. I start to pet him on the dark being half awake only. After some time i feel something wet in his belly fur, but as I’m half sleepy I don’t react and keep petting him. Only after what was probably a long time, I realized that something is wrong, turn on the light and see a slug curled/trapped inside his fur, I was touching it with my hand for several minutes!

      I have MS, and one of my minor symptoms is I sometimes get a feeling on the bottom of my foot being wet (temp change basically), giving me a wet sock feel. Fuck that symptom.

        Jesus this sounds horrible. May some future changes in medication help you with that symptom.

      I’m right there with you. I spent 10 years working in the boreal and in peatlands. I have an indescribable hatred for wet feet. Nothing like getting a booter, and having to deal with that all day.

      Sometimes you forget your spare socks, or a plastic bag which is more important

      But if you die due to a puddle induced mishap then you will go to wetsockhalla where every day is spent in the battle against wet socks.

    Yeah but I don’t remove my shoes first, that’s just weird.
