random footsie.

do you ever go to a meeting at a table and you sit down and then the person across from you sits down and unknowingly puts their foot on top of yours? Maybe only on just part of your foot but the point is its still on your foot? you pretty much have like... a nano-second... to decide whether or not to move your foot, (which is so easy), or you go with it, (for some ungodly yet inherent reason ingrained in many of us) we do. some of us humans don't want said foot placer to feel silly that he/she put their foot on top of your frye boot or your red seychelle instead of the floor?

in that nanosecond, if you can relate, you most usually decide not to move your foot, (WHY ON EARTH DID YOU DECIDE THIS?) you then miss the entire point of the meeting because you are expending all of your focus on not moving your foot when you talk, or breath for that matter, so as not to embarrass the foot you GAVE PERMISSION to sit on top of yours for the last 7 minutes.

then, you error. you flinch a little, causing foot impostor to look under the table and say, "oh i'm so sorry - was i on top of you?" and you lie with ease, "oh no no, must've been the table leg".

is it just me?
