The People That Time Forgot

"The People That Time Forgot" is one of my favorite descriptors for human anomalies. These are the people on subways, in DMV lobbies, on jury duty, and in line at the post office. However, while getting some noodles at one of my favorite restaurants tonight, I was mystified to see a new addition to this group: a couple (not one, but TWO people) ordering at the counter, BAREFOOT! Who are these people?? Heads up: shoes are available at every local Wally World, guys. Stop being gross and at least cough up the $5 for a pair of flip-flops or something!

Don't we have rules against this type of distressing presence in dining establishments? I'm sure the cashiers didn't even notice...after all, who walks around amongst the petri-dish-that-is-the-outside-world sans standard pieces of clothing? What if these two walked around with no pants? I think going shoeless is just as disturbing, but I'm certain they wouldn't agree.

I'm lumping these two irreversibly-screwed-up individuals in with the people who pick their nose in public, the ones who don't wash their hands after using the bathroom, and those who pierce areas of their body that were only meant to be treated nicely.

Un-be-lievable.
