If there’s one thing that Aussies are known for, it’s the fact that we like to let our piggies run wild in public. However, is it appropriate to allow our feet to raw dog the floor at work?
The r/auscopr subreddit woke up and chose chaos this week, asking people, “Taking shoes off in the office. Yay or nay?”, and tbh, the answers were more mixed than you might expect.
“As working in the office becoming more common, I have noticed there are some still treating it as if they were at home,” u/onemorequestion- wrote.
“Big Four [a.k.a. Deloitte Australia, Ernst & Young, PWX and KPMG]here and I cannot believe there are a few that think it’s ok to take their shoes off in the office and walk around in socks. Am I just out of touch?”
The Redditor got a mixed bag of answers. However, the majority seemed to be against the idea of taking your shoes off at work, even if you have socks.
“Not acceptable, in my experience the people that do it are oblivious to their own foot odour too,” one Redditor shared.
“No, that’s pretty gross,” another commented.
Despite the general conses being a big NAY, some other Redditors have chimed in with their exceptions such as yay to shoes off at desks only and exceptions for pregnant women.
“Pregnant woman or someone with a medical issue I’d let it slide. We aren’t designed to sit down or stand up for that long. Some people really feel it,” one person wrote.
“Taking them off under your desk is fine, as long as you don’t have odour. No walking around though,” another Redditor added.
And, of course, with Reddit being Reddit, some other punters have come through guns blazing with their jokes, such as describing the act as a form of “marketing for [their] OnlyFans”.
Look, as someone who is a Croc fiend, I must admit that I am a culprit for taking off my shoes in the office and maybe I have raw dogged the cold vinyl floors with my gropers BUT usually, that’s when all my colleagues have gone home.
So with that in mind, I’m definitely on the pro taking off your shoes side of the argument — provided your piggies (and socks) are squeaky clean.
At the end of the day, if Jacob Elordi can walk around Byron Bay with the dogs out, I should be able to as well.
