Taking it day by day: Desiccated coconut and shoes



Desiccated coconut and shoes

There is this chick I work with…she is 4’ 11” tall at the most, has a temper as short as herself and very weird sense of fashion. There are times when you greet her in the morning she will just look at you like a wall and say nothing. It’s not just me, another chick also experienced the same wizard treatment, so I am not hating.

This chick is pale…whenever I look at her, I automatically think of desiccated coconut. I wonder what she will remind me of in summer….maybe like grated parmesan??? I am yet to see. So! Recently chick walked into the office, her usual walking style is *let-the-whole-office-know-I-am-coming* and she ALWAYS wears high heels (I wonder why)-you can imagine the commotion. Since she was wearing a skirt that day, I managed to take a look at her shoes.

She certainly wears size 36 or 37 (size 3-4) but on that day, she had worn a pair that was 1-2 sizes bigger!!! If those were boots, no one would have noticed but they were pumps, so I could see this ridiculous huge gap back there. I just wondered…how do you wear shoes that are too big for you and go out of the house? Yaani you go to the shop, don’t find shoes that fit you and get the available size? It’s not like your feet are going to grow any bigger….in the mid/late twenties??? Ama were those her sister’s/friend’s/neighbour’s shoes? Each time she walked into the office I could not help but stare at her shoes. I found it muy ridiculous.



this shoe this shoe this shoe, i dream it breath it want it want it so bad, it looks so nice. hmmmmm.

This lady, thi slady ,this lady..pale and remins you of a coconut?...wow..you really must have been avery good observant..

well putting on those high shoes reminds of one thing....Height compasation.How about you?...what do you think.

But ladies always want to be recognized even when it really doesn`t cal for it thats why may be she walks in the office in that style..

But just be a good charmer, she will be your goodfriend and the boiled face will find its way in the sewage...

she wears high heels so that she can look taller! and probably more evil! and flat shoes dont announce "am coming every body please stop what you are doing and look at me!"

I would imagine it would be difficult to walk around in shoes that are a couple of sizes too large. Maybe she accidentally bought the wrong size and decided to keep them rather than return them. Or maybe she tried returning them when she found out that the salesperson had given her the wrong size, but they didn't have her size and she really liked them so she kept them.

maybe this will be the perfect way to begin a conversation with her? ehhh, about those oversized boots you wear!! lol, at least there will a valid reason for her to snub you!!!

i have been looking at all her shoes of late, they all fit - or so they seem coz with knee high boots you never know. How do you buy a shoe 2 sizes bigger??? i still shake my head wondering
majonzi you want me to get burnt by hot coffee? i will leave her with her shoes...and hope she never gets in a situation where she has to run for her life, coz she will have to leave them shoes behind :-)

Chatterly, if the heels are of the height you mention, then even if they are of the correct size, combined with her height that would be a more immediate threat to her well being weighed against the threat to her life. :-)
