Today, a male employee at a shoe shop helped me try on shoes. Once I found a pair, I went to pay for them. I was telling the cashier about how great of an employee he was when she told me there were no male employees. A guy with a foot fetish helped me find shoes. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to a mall and got some really awesome shoes. I went home to find out that they are actually women's shoes. I'm a dude. FML
Today, while shopping for a pair of shoes, I saw a pair I really liked lying around, so I sat down to try them on. Then, a man came up to me and pointed out that they were actually his shoes. FML
Today, I was working at a shoe store and was helping a dude try on shoes. He looked like trouble and I wanted to finish with him. When he finally picked his shoes, he abruptly stood up and ran out of the store with the shoes on. The cost of them was deducted from my salary. $240. FML
Today, I went to get new shoes. I'm a pretty tall girl and I have proportional feet. I asked the cute guy who worked there for a size 9.5. He burst into laughter before putting on a shocked face and saying, "Oh wait... You're serious." Goodbye, self esteem. FML
Today, I was helping an old man find a pair of shoes. I told him about a particularly comfortable pair but had to inform him that they only came in black or white. Hearing this, the old man grabbed me around the neck and began to beat me in the head with our display shoe. He wanted brown. FML
Today, at work, I was waiting in line to pay my food at the cafeteria when I noticed the doctor who was in front of me had these really cool looking shoes on. I told him, "I like your shoes!" He turned over, looked at me and didn’t say anything back. FML
Today, I went to a store to buy pants for a new job. A really hot guy helped me get a pair down from a high shelf so I could try them on. He had flirted with me so I hurried in the fitting room so I could go talk to him. Note to self: Check to see if you have pants on after trying on clothes. FML
Today, my shoe fell apart a few minutes after I got to work. I called my boyfriend and asked him to bring me the "pretty black pair" in my closet. What did he bring? Black stilettos. I'm a waitress with an eight-hour shift. FML
Today, my boyfriend got a job at a trendy clothing store in the mall. Trying to be supportive, I went to visit him and tried something on. I got stuck in the jeans and had to call my boyfriend, who sent the manager to pull the jeans off me. FML
Today, a middle-aged woman came into the shoe shop where I work, and asked me to help her put on a pair of boots that were obviously too small. Simultaneously as I knelt down by her feet, she booted me in the face while we tried to get them on. FML

It wasn't lingerie, so... you're fine.

He's the prince to your Cinderella, except he's now probably jerking off to your foot arches.

Did you suggest they hire the man? Sounds as if he has great customer service.

You got the shoes you wanted, and you never really twigged to the fact that you were being perved on, so I guess you're lucky. Although really, there is the sense of violation you experienced when you found out about it afterwards, so FYL. I have to say, as someone who *has* a bunch of fetishes, including a foot fetish, that what he did was extremely bad behavior. You should *never* involve nonconsenting others in your fetish, BDSM play, or whatever. At best, it weirds people out and it gives the rest of us fetishists, the overwhelming majority of whom respect other peoples' space and play only with those who have given consent, a bad name. At worst, it can amount to assault or rape.

Good comment Ray Of Midnight. I never really thought of it that way...

Fetishists have the responsibility to not hurt others. They don't, and shouldn't, have any responsibility to make other people feel warm and fuzzy inside by submitting to those people's biases. In this case, the OP got shoes, and the random guy got feet. The only problem with the guy's behavior is that he pretended to be an employee, although that could just be the OP's assumption. Otherwise, I don't see any difference between helping someone find shoes out of generosity, or helping them because of a foot fetish. If the customer doesn't like people with foot fetishes, that's her problem, and this "problem" is about as trivial as #firstworldproblems.

Reminds me of a few months ago. I had put some heels of mine for sale on the Internet and someone wanted pictures of my feet in the heels so they could see what they looked like at my toes. After I'd send those he answered "I'll admit it, I have a foot fetish." No one else has been interested so I still haven't sold them :-(

You got the shoes you wanted, he got what he wanted. I don't see a problem! :D

That's odd, at the Victoria's secret I work at, male employees aren't allowed near the fitting room at all.

If I worked there, I'd be pissed that security was so poor that a nonemployee could get away with this.

So there's a guy who's going to consciously look for the right kind of shoe for women that won't make them look bad... And this is a fail, why?
