I was golfing barefoot last Saturday in cold and wet weather. It was not very comfortable but it's still better than shoes. Since it was a tournament and everybody was very slow, the foursome behind us eventually caught up to us.
An old lady was yelling to me "You're going to catch a cold! You're going to a cold!". As if having cold feet while the rest of my body is plenty warm would somehow make me more to prone to catch a cold. Some people are just quite ignorant.
Not to mention, I'm 25. If I wanna catch a cold, that's my own problem. Quit trying to protect me like I'm a five years old. I can take care of myself.
Oh and little off topic, when I was at the event, I overheard a man talking about how he couldn't work at the moment due to condition caused by his shoes that forced his big toe towards the rest of his toes. Bunion, right? Shoes are evil.....
