The “pretty but dim” gym bunny approached me, and said; “Gob, would you mind wearing training shoes from now on when you come in in the mornings?” No, I wasn’t barefooted, I was wearing my hiking sandals.
The following exchange happened;
Me: “Why?"
PBDGB; ”Well it’s the rules.”
Me; “What rules?
PBDGB; “The footwear rules, you have to wear gym shoes or runners here.”
Me; “But I’ve been wearing these here for two years or more.”
PBDGB; “Yes, but I’ve only just noticed.”
Me; (biting tongue,) “But what difference does it make?”
PBDGB; “Well if you dropped a weight on your foot you could be seriously injured.”
Me; “So could you?”
PBDGB; “But I’ve got running shoes on.”
Me; “Which give you even less protection than these do me.”
PBDGB; “But it’s the rules.”
Seeing I was on a loser here, (never argue with an idiot, they'll drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience,) I agreed to wear training shoes from now on in. As I do not yet have any, I’ve been wearing my hiking boots instead, or “taking the piss” as it’s better known.
I was wearing these;
She was wearing these;
