What Gags You More: The Stink or The Feet?

As the title suggests, what grosses you out more? Is just the sight of someone's furry feet and gnarled toenails turn your stomach or does the sweaty, pungent aroma of well worn socks and unwashed feet make you feel faint? Or is it both? Do feet just outright make you crazy?

Feel free to take our poll and tell us what you picked. I promise the information will in no way be used against you in the future nor will I rub my feet against your leg/face whilst you are distracted by the shiny ball of tinfoil I suspended from a string just over yonder.

Damn, the little emoticons didn't work...

Definitely the smell. My eldest wasn't allowed to bring his shoes in the house. We tried to keeping them in the entry closet so the house wouldn't reek of NASTY, STINKY, FEET, but then it took me about a week to get the smell out of the coats (closet? Now that was a dumb idea!).

That's the thing about feet smell, it's very clingy. Especially on fabrics and skin.

my shoe in my mouth that gags me more than the stink or my feet.

Very true. I found out fairly early that the sun was the best deodorizer. As long as you didn't have to worry about things getting sun bleached.

I never knew that, actually. I'm guessing that the sun just evaporates the sweat and kills the stinky feet bacteria with the intense heat, right?

Sunlight is a natural sterlizer. Kills bacteria.

Huh... I never knew that.



Thanks for the info Deal. I'll never leave my shoes outside in the sun again.

The smell is just. Bleh

I know. It's great, isn't it?

Well, 5 cats just died so it is quite effective.

It can be.

*Checks on the cats.*

Nah, they're just passed out. I should probably put my socks on, though.

They made it? Well, so much for my feline stew.
