I have none of the intrinsic weirdness that some of you have - I'm a more normal kind of oddball, I guess. Probably the weirdest thing about me right now is that I walk around barefoot most of the time; that gets a lot of strange looks.

I do this in summer all the time. I love that it toughens my feet up, skips the stupid sock tan, and feels really good (hot cemeeent).

Yes! We've been having lovely weather here recently and it feels so good.

I see at lot of kids doing this at my school, usually hippies. But, the other day, I saw this dude walk barefoot into a public bathroom in one of the busiest buildings on campus... I just don't get that.

My own response would probably be that the door handle is probably less hygienic than the bathroom floor. And most guys don't wash their hands, either.

In public? I guess that is kinda strange, never seen anyone do that around where I live.

Yeah, in public. I do tend to carry around a pair of shoes with me, though, since in places like pubs I usually get asked to put them on.

If you're in a country without any parasites or broken glass, cool. I too go barefoot often, but not really in public places.

There's a fair bit of broken glass, actually, but it's not actually as dangerous as most people expect.
