What does it take for people to realize that they have disgusting feet and that they should do something about it?

Asked by Kardamom (33297points) May 5th, 2015

My cousin’s husband, he’s probably in his mid forties, so not old by any standards, just posted a picture of his broken sandal on his foot, and we both talked about how it’s a good idea to keep an extra pair of shoes in your car just in case this happens.

Anyway, his feet, especially his toenails, look atrocious! They look all fungus-riddled and flaky and his nails are all scraggly and full of dirt. I had to walk away from my keyboard so that I didn’t mention any of this to him. I just suggested keeping a pair of extra tennies in the trunk.

I can’t imagine in a thousand years posting a picture of my feet if they looked like that. My cousin never chimed in, at least not online, but then again, she’s always posting pictures of herself with those icky Jamberry nails applied over nails with scraggly, dried cuticles and un-filed fingernails. Maybe she doesn’t notice or care that her hubby has claw-like feet. Maybe she finds it sexy.

Why would anyone, maybe you, allow their feet to get so disgusting, and why would anyone post pictures of said tootsies? Do they not notice that the sight of their feet causes small children and pets to recoil in horror?
