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
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?

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!

Yeah your boss didn't question that he had sandals in the first place?

Unless you are a manager, it's best to ignore some things or look the other way. Let the bosses worry about dress codes and other stuff.

Sometimes you just say anything to anyone anymore without getting narced on. One thing I can't stand is a snitch, but this is the direction society has gone.

nobody stands up for what's right anymore too afraid to be called a snitch, that's what's sad about the direction society has gone. If you are doing something wrong don't be surprised ukulele get in trouble it is no ones fault but your own and applause to the person still good in the world to uphold that

It really depends what kind of setting this was in for me to say fyl or ydi. Is this something like a lab setting where having certain attire is very important? Or were just being that one person who has to point out everybody's mistakes?

So he made a complaint that would call the boss' attention to his sandaled feet? Not just an asshole, but a dumb asshole.
