While wearing a "boot" in NYC...

As everyone knows...I pulled my calf muscle in Costa Rica at surf camp so I had the pleasure of wearing a very sexy to-the-knee boot for my last week in NYC. Just imagine hobbling around NYC in a boot...to the subway, on the subway, crossing the street, to UPS from my storage unit and back on the subway.

I can't even begin to tell you the comments I received in NYC while hobbling around place to place. It was a riot. I met the nicest, strangest, kindest, rudest, meanest people ever. All types of people feel they have the right to talk to you if you're wearing a "boot". Here are some of the comments...

1. "Oh honey, I wore a boot once for my ankle. It was the worst month of my life. I hope your life is better than mine."

2. From an old lady screaming at me..."YOU should NOT wear a heel on your good leg because it will make your hips off balance. I know for a fact. Go back and put on a flat shoe or else you'll be sorry."

3. From a construction worker on Wall Street, "Love, oh Love, are you okay, do you need help? I'm in a rush, but I can help Love. I hope you feel better. Bye Love, have a good day." Hmmm - I don't remember ever meeting this guy or ever being in love with him. Maybe it was one of my tipsy nights. (just kidding Mom).

4. "Oh, that looks uncomfortable."

5. "Better hurry across th street or else you'll get hit."

6. "Ouch"

7. From 2 out of 10 people on the subway..."Would you like to sit down?"

8. From 1 out of 10 people.."I hope you feel better soon."

9. From Steph..."Take your boot off in my apartment, you may mark up my floors." Just kidding Steph. :)

10. From my friends at surf camp..."Run Forest Run!" HA!

Anyway, you get the point. It was hilarious. I think everyone just wear it for one day, just to see what people say and do. I could right an entire book on the comments.
