feetfreak tells us more.
Hi. This is the original poster. 1. I was not trying to boss him around or be a tattle-tale. We work at a warehouse store and his job requires him to regularly perform heavy lifting INDOORS and heavy lifting OUTDOORS when he has to help customers carry things to their cars and load them. The guy was relatively new, so I was concerned about his safety. I thought maybe he just left the house in a hurry and forgot that he was wearing sandals. I've accidentally almost left the house in my running sneakers only to quickly run back and change. 2. I wasn't trying to be nosy, I was just genuinely curious and was not going to report him or try and get him in trouble. I am not a narc. We were making what I thought was polite small talk. Guess I was wrong. 3. To the people telling me to mind my own business: if you had toilet paper stuck to your shoe or broccoli in your teeth, wouldn't you want someone to tell you so you don't walk around all day looking like a fool?

Well, apparently there's a reason while wearing shoes is compulsory. It's so people with fooy fetishes won't sexually harrass others. Your boss should have explained that to him.
They why are women's sandals usually ok, but not for men? Do a lot of women have toe fetishes? so many more than men?

^ because, you guys just said "suck" that's why. Your comment was deemed unworthy, and indeed it was.

I've noticed that FMLs get deleted as well. Remember the one from a few days back where OP's mom gives up smoking to save her cat's health? Try to find it...

I think the co-worker was projecting his wants.

A foot fetish can be reaaally hard to hide...
You probably should have told your boss and let them confront the coworker since that's not your job.

And then you notice #27's username...

the fml says OP ASKED why he was wearing sandals. Either way, suppose the boss or supervisor was busy, are you sure they'd have time to take care of that? Hence, the strict policy. I'm sure OP was also watching out for any accident the co-worker could have caused for trying to be a rebellious idiot.

so it's better to out right throw the coworker under the bus by taking the issue to management than to point out that's against dress code to the person themselves before they get in trouble?

103, well nobody wants to be in that situation and "snitch". I'm sure we've all been there. We try helping out the person instead of reporting it. I know I'd appreciate that kind of help.

If you were truly being sarcastic, you're fine. Also, the comment that pointed out the fact that so many comments were deleted, WAS ALSO DELETED!

It's very possible that OP works in a facility where emphasis on safety is prioritized. If OP is working around chemicals or dangerous machinery, then there's no reason why she shouldn't have brought this up.

how is the coworkers reason for breaking dress code, health hazard or not, a matter to be "their own business" didn't realize it's such a sensitive topic OP has no right to point out..

Actually, yeah it is. She was just looking out for her coworker. She didn't report the damn person she just asked so quit your bitchin'. God you seem like you have a big ol' stick up your ass.
What type of person would even think of making that up. Gross! I hope your boss believed you.

Hopefully your boss believed you over that jackass coworker of your's.
Don't worry about the idiots. You were perfectly polite and within your rights to look out for another person's safety. Please update with how it turned out with your boss and your douche co-worker!
