It was to look at but not touch....[snip]

Friends of my wife put the remote control for the tv in a plastic bag! Years ago I noticed one of the people at work still had the plastic on the doors of their car, except it had torn to pieces years ago and bits of it were just hanging off the door making the car look worse.
I hate going to a house and people want you to take your shoes off. I am not going to walk in with footy boots or caked on mud, I would take my shoes off then. These sorts of people let their floor (or their other anal retentive things) rule their life, we have polished floors but people can just walk in with their shoes on. I pronate badly and find walking around in bare feet unconfortable and have even injured my foot doing so. Just because
you can't wait to get home and kick your shoes off, don't think everyone does. A good way of walking dirt into the house is to walk outside in bare feet and then come inside. People wipe their shoes, but seldom would "wipe their feet!"
