This salutary tale of why you shouldn’t wear your granddad’s shoes to a job interview is a slow-burning delight

Just in case you were ever wondering about wearing a grandparent’s footwear to a job interview, here’s a salutary tale from Redditor WinterRuff.

It’s wonderfully told, very funny – and totally excruciating.

And just a few of the comments it prompted on Reddit.

‘I’m so sorry this happened to you but this is sitcom gold. At least now you can say perseverance is a strength of yours!’ Atri0n

‘I had this happen to me with a pair I wore when I went to visit my gf’s mom in the hospital. About 2 hours after unknowingly leaving tracks around the building a cleaning person found me and handed me a pair of the hospital booties to keep it contained.’ SpaceVolcano

‘Great story. I lost it at “black shoe turd”. That would be a nightmare to live through but it’s very entertaining.’ Colonel_FuzzyCarrot

‘This is the kind of shit that would happen to George in Seinfeld. He’d cheap out on shoes, leave a trail of shoe crumbs, and get a call after the interview telling him he didn’t get the job. Upon asking why, he’d be told they didn’t appreciate him littering the office with his “shoe crumbs.”

“Can you believe that Jerry? Shoe crumbs, really?”

Jerry would make fun of him, George would get defensive and yell, and ultimately throw the shoes out. Kramer would find the shoes in the garbage, have his cobbler friend replace the soles, and the closing scene would be him strutting down the street with people admiring his shoes.’ -ksguy-
