Do you pick up things with your feet?

[NotHardUp1]

No, I don't mean splinters or athlete's foot.

Some decades ago, my friend's mother was the supervisor for a handicapped employment agency, and one of her clients had no arms, so she was very adept in doing many things with her feet. To this very day, I think of her anytime I pick up something from the floor using my feet instead of my hands.

What impressed me the most about the woman was her willingness to work to earn income. She obviously qualified for disability assistance and probaly received various forms, but she didn't view it as some kind of get-out-of-jail-free card to avoid working.

It is in such strong contrast to the degenerated view today where so many handicapped parking spaces are used by liars and thieves who steal the privilege out of sloth. It's very rare to see anyone in a supermarket with actual mobility problems and by the very design, supermarkets are so large that one who is able to navigate them is already walking so much that the distance to the car isn't a factor.

Anyway, do you ever use your feet to pick up something?

Just ringworm.

 

[NotHardUp1]

Just ringworm.

Don't give up on pinworms. Aim high.

First, let's make it clear that kicking a small child out of the way only counts if he is airborne for at least 3 seconds, and a drop kick is cheating.

Otherwise, yes, I often pick up dirty clothes with my feet. Gripping with my toes, or sometimes, sliding under to hook a garment or towel, or maybe an electric cord, with my foot.

That’s about all I pick up with my feet as well. Dropping a sock with an arm load of clothes the only option is to grab it in your toes and pull it along with you.

 

[purina]

Never.

 

[Peloso]

I have long legs and a bad back so I haven't seen my feet up close in a decade.

[unloadonme]

No, that's what hands are for.

 

[Kahaih]

No, that's what hands are for.

And butts are exit only.

 

[TickTockMan]

Because of foot drops I can't anymore.

 

[Peloso]

I couldn't even coax a pinworm up my butt these days.

 

[fredroy]

Yeah. I've always picked up things with my feet. Like pencils or socks.

 

[NotHardUp1]

No, that's what hands are for.

Fair enough, but when one's knuckles don't drag, it takes more effort.

 

[Vannie]

No, that's what hands are for.

Very callous reply.

 

[Alistair]

Very callous reply.

Not very PC either. Think of all the handless people here on JUB.

Handless?

Please don't take my right hand.

 

[Rickrock]

No, never.

 

[me203]

Please don't take my right hand.

You can learn how to stuff a cabbage with your left hand.

 

[me203]

Well, I guess I do, since I raise my feet off the ground when wearing shoes, and shoes would count as something lifted!
