.... make sure it's yours!
We had our weekly tour today of new listings that Cambridge Coldwell Banker agents are bringing on. It was a marathon - 24 condos and houses in three towns.
It rained last night so at more than one property we had to remove our shoes or put on booties. It's a practice that I really don't like for safety reasons but that's a topic for another post.
At one of the houses early on the tour there was a mixup of sorts. An agent went to leave the house and discovered that his shoes were gone.
There was another pair left behind in the pile - same shoes, a few more scuffs, but not *quite* the right size.
But those shoes were his only option so he put them on and started on a quest to find the shoe bandit wearing his shiny shoes.
So, more and more aggravated as the shoes pinched his feet, he searched, head down, for the missing shoes on fellow agents' feet.
About ten properties later the "offender" was located - unaware until that moment that the shoes he wore were not his own.
I found out at lunch that this was not the first shoe mixup on tour.
Another agent recalled the tour day when she discovered when leaving a property that only one of her shoes remained in the pile. There was another lone shoe in the pile so she put it on and drove off wearing mismatched shoes. As she told the story to her friends in the car the agent behind the wheel belatedly realized that she was also wearing mismatched shoes having taken the wrong shoe from the pile.
So - before you go running out the door - please make sure that the shoes you wear are the shoes you came in with.
GOOD MORNING LIZ! I am from Hawaii, and it is custom not to wear shoes in your home or others homes. So there are lots of wall plaques that read "Mahalo For Removing Your Shoes" at front doors. And here is one that I hang at my front door that fits your post! I enjoyed this! -- Gab
