Things I Never Would Have Thought Of

[ladysprite]

Memo to myself:

It is all well and good to have your minor clothing rebellions, and refusal to conform completely to Business Dress in subtle ways, under most circumstances. However, there is always some risk with that.

For instance, it may not wind up making the best impression when you get called upon to perform a house call euthanasia, and the house turns out to have a no-shoes rule, and you realize that you're wearing your bright purple socks with the orange and green polka-dots. Not the best way to impress the clients with your professionalism and solemnity.

Just as an example.

Love,
me

A house with a no shoes rule is like to be either so incredibly uptight that anything you wore would be considered uncouth or else it might have people who are a bit unconventional who wouldn't care. Trust me, if you've come to euthanize my old family pet, I don't care what's on your feet.

Or they might be otherwise perfectly ordinary folks from a culture which has a tradition of not wearing shoes in the house. Not saying whether they'd care or not, just that your generalities are off.
