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?

Why didn't the boss question him on his sandals if it was such a strict dress code?

SCENE 1: ******* Loud Factory Characters: OP, OTHER GUY OP:"Hey, why are you wearing sandals?" OG:"What?" OP:"Why Are You Waering Sandals?" OG:"WHAT!?" OP:"WHY ARE YOU WEARING SANDALS!?!?" OG:"YOU WANT TO DO WHAT TO MY TOES?" OP:"YES! WHY ARE YOU WEARING SANDALS?" OG:"OH MY GOD! YOU SICK PERV! I'M TELLING THE BOSS!" *storms off* OP:"UH, OK?"
I was thinking that "strict dress code" might've sounded like "suck your toes"

That sucks!
No curious question goes unpunished
I think he might just have a foot fetish

See, I have a coworker like this, and what happens is you'll accidentally forget something one day, like we all do because we're all imperfect, you do your best to get along anyway, and everything would be fine if your idiot rule-humping coworker didn't feel the need to point it out to everyone, resulting in you getting in trouble. YDI, OP. Don't be that person.
She only pointed it out to him. Perhaps she was trying to make sure he wouldn't do it again and get in trouble.

How about you just follow the dress policy and your place of work and then don't overreact when some one asks why you're not in proper protective equipment. It's more likely than not a safety issue, and potentially a liability issue too.

So by "rule-humping," you mean "regulations-aware," right? And of course "everyone" is just another way of saying "him and only him." And it's clear to see that "get in trouble" is a synonym to "are more aware of the rules and make sure to follow them at a later date in order to avoid being reprimanded."

the only person to blame if you get in trouble for doing something wrong is yourself! whether you hoped to get away with it or not. Its YOU only you.
What the ****?
I blame the economy.
Well, how'd they taste?

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!
