Today, I asked a co-worker why he was wearing sandals, as they are not allowed under our strict dress code. He got extremely angry with me and stormed off. Ten minutes later, I got called into our boss' office. Apparently, he told her that I walked up to him and asked to suck his toes. FML

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?

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!

Not really a FML unless your boss was stupid enough to believe him. His hope is probably that you'd be so horrified by his claim that you wouldn't fight back. Rather than run to a website, you should have made your boss get him in the room too and see if he had the stones to make that claim to your face. Then all you would really have to do is point out the dress code violation and ask your boss whose story is more likely?

Suck my toes, and sandals sound a bit similar. He probably heard you wrong OP

OP wasn't trying to tell him what to do, she only asked why. Besides, employees should encourage each other to follow work policies. If this is indeed a safety issue and OP did nothing, and the co-worker ended up getting hurt, then what would that say about OP?
