Social Etiquette Police: Shoeless Edition

Most times I see someone ignore social etiquette, I let it slide. Things like letting doors swing in people’s faces, showing up with 30 items in the express checkout line, scratching/readjusting yourself in public. Rude, rude, and gross, sure, but forgivable I suppose. However, today I was witness to one of the social etiquette no-nos that absolutely horrifies me — taking off your shoes in public. And I don’t mean flip flops or strappy sandals, where at least your feet can breathe. No, I mean shoes of the closed-toed, sweat-gathering, stanky-ass variety.

Things I Like: David Cook Edition

Besides the one episode I recapped for TVgasm, I didn’t watch a single minute of American Idol this year. In fact, the last season I paid any attention to was season 4 when Carrie won, and the last time I voted or really got into it was season 2 (I was all about Trenyce and switched allegiances to Clay once she was eliminated). That being said, I stumbled across a David Cook track while browsing through iTunes a few weeks ago and instantly fell in love. It’s from Mariah Carey week, and is a cover of “Always Be My Baby.” I’ve never been a huge fan of the original (although “Someday” is one of my favorite, all-time songs), but the way David sings this honestly gives me shivers.

P.S. Were they trying to use the least attractive image of this man possible? Was the one with the snot bubbles and cold sore just not available?
