I was working on a job in down town ft worth and the genral contractor walked in with two different colored shoes and i found the need to tease him to the point that he went home and changed them. The bad part was he lived 1.5 hours away and it didn't matter i still picked on him after he got back lol

No, but I hit the can in a lady's john one time by accident ;D I am used to the man's being on the left and lady's on the right where I work. It was early, and I walked in thinking it was strange there was no urinals in here. I sat down and heard somone open the door. Then two ladies started talking. I was worried as heck with all the sexual harrasment stuff and getting fired. I lifted up my feet (I had work clod hoppers on) until they left and high tailed it out of there once I figured it was safe. Embarrassing, but now i know the ladys is on the left and mans on the right on the lower level :)

I can see putting on two different colored shoes. Low light, Half-asleep, not really paying attention. At least they were the same type of footware. Quite a few years ago, I went to work, sat back in my chair, and propped my feet up on some boxes. The left foot had a tan steel toed boot.(Required for the job) The right foot had a black sneaker. Before I could get them out of view, of course, everyone saw and started laughing. To cover my butt with the boss, I told them I had ingrown nail surgery, and the foot was too swollen to put the boot on my foot. First rule:CYA

:)I also went to school one day with my pj's under my clothes.....damn i was hot.

Just got back from NYC. Went to the Bar and Nightclub show at the Javits Center. Picked up a friend and his wife. She wore slippers for the four hour drive to NYC. When we went to go out for the day she had packed two different shoes. No problem there, but they were both right foot. The first store that we came across that sold shoes was named "Daffy's". I thought that was very a appropriate name for the store and the situation.

If I had done that ( wore two different shoes), it would not have been an issue till someone mentioned it. My reply would have been that I have another pair just like them in the car. :D

Keep on detecting..

I was going too night school, it was the final exam....... I showed up bare foot :-[. The teacher gave me the "look", then laughed. I said "sorry I hate shoes in the summer and I was nervous" :-[ :P I was comfy.

As long as your sock suspenders match, I would consider it acceptable metal detecting attire.
