I have a repulsion to feet. Something about them cry out “I am the dirtiest part of the body!” For example, one of my pet peeves is when, in lecture, people set their feet on a chair next to me. Another pet peeve is when people set their feet next to my head. In general I see it as a sign of disrespect.
One time, I got into a fight with my dad because of “foot matters”. Early high school, my dad was telling me to get some work done as he was lying on the couch and I was sitting on the ground watching television. When I said I would do so later, my dad began to prod me with his foot. I got angry and then yelled at my dad not to do that. My dad shot back that I should have gotten to work anyways. We proceeded to yell at each other and got into one of the biggest yelling matches we ever had.
In some cultures, it’s considered rude to point your soles towards others when crossing your legs? Shoes are considered to be unclean. This is why the shoe thrower@Bush was considered such a villain (hero).
Sometimes I wonder, how did Jesus even work up the humility to wash His disciples’ feet?
