I was waiting outside establishment for someone and a shoeshine walked up.

“Yo man, need a shoeshine,” he said.
“Nope,” I said.
He looks at my year old in pretty damn good shape boat shoes. “No fricking wonder. You obviously don’t take care of your shoes.” And he walks off.

I spent the next 5 minutes starring at my shoes wondering if I indeed didn’t take care of my shoes. And I do. frick that guy.

This may/is an awful thread but at least it’s getting this site back on track.

Interesting sales tactic. It made you pause and think

I don't shine shoes for a living. I can afford to buy a new pair.

I’ve only had one person ever offer me a shoeshine and I was wearing some sneakers that I only wear when I am working out or know that I am going to be out walking most of the day.

Do boat shoes even get shined?

Should've asked him how he keeps from getting the blues.

I was never, never going to get a shoe shine. He just made me doubt my current foot-ware

That's just sad, Baw. That's like the guys on here who like cargo shorts but will not wear them because some of the other queers don't like cargo shorts.

Don't worry aboot what other men think of what you wear. Don't worry aboot what shoe-shine boys and carnies think of anything.

You kind of have to if you live across the street from you-know-where.
