I work in a kitchen. I forgot to wear my work shoes last night.

For those who have never worked in a kitchen, the grills, deep frier, etc, kick off a lot of grease mist and spatter. Kitchen staff usually wear special slip resistant shoes. When OP forgot his work shoes... Worse than sheer ice.

My boss at the restaurant I work at has these thick rubber mats with lots of holes in them, they're in front of the frier, line, dishwasher, etc. They've saved my ass numerous times, best idea EVER invented for a kitchen...I also learned that wearing Converse on the tiles is a terrible, terrible idea.

Guh I used to work at McDonald's and had to work Halloween one night and we were allowed to wear costumes so I decided "What the hell, I'll dress up." I came in full costume which included a skirt and tights and a pair of boots. I ended up slipping and landing on my butt....my coworker laughed hysterically while muttering things in Spanish. :(

You haven't learned how to slide around yet?! haha.. I busted ass a few times at the pizza joint I use to work at.. But whenever the floor was slippery, we would just slide. It was better than doing it in your socks on linoleum

I worked in a pizza place, washing dishes. I'd come home, and the bottom of my shoes would be coated in gross grease/dirt/dust/yuck. There were many slips narrowly avoided.

I work in a factory kitchen and accidentally wore my sneakers one day, fell on my ass (pocket that had my keys) and my car key made a 1 1/2 inch cut on my right butt cheek that bled like a motherfucker.... funny in retrospect though!

How do you forget your shoes going into work?

crithosceleg · 6 months

Haha, I can relate to this. Even the tiniest pit of spilled liquid, once stepped on, can land you on your back if you're not careful.

I hate it when I do that! Those no slip shoes have (quite literally) saved my ass many times!

I worked in an air force kitchen for a year and when I started there I did not have non slip shoes. I busted my ass on the first day and the tiny Vietnamese manager freaked out. her voice was amazingly awesome. think consuela from family guy. * oooooo mr michael, are you fine. thats no good I hope you not hurt. nooooo thats not good... you need safey shoes * yes she said safey shoes.

Alternatively, you wore the correct shoes, but you've worn the tread down smooth because you work in food service, but you're too broke to buy a new pair until there are holes in yours.

at the burger king i worked at they never told me i needed those special shoes. anyway they didn't make us get one until we got this new manager, after several months of him working there. i was pissed because i only worked there a year and it was the last two months i was going to be there.

and i had bought new shoes for the job in the first place so.. there goes $80 for those shoes that i hate.

Try forgetting socks when you have a pair of crocs with no air holes. Squeeks and farts from my feet all night and the worst foot odor imaginable.

I did IT for a local restaurant chain here. Whenever I had to work on the point of sale it was always a challenge to move around. Took at least 2 spills while working around the kitchen.

When I was in culinary school a classmate of mine decided that kitchen-shoes where uncool and used crockers. Almost impaled herself on our kniferack a few times that day.

The only time I think I've ever liked having slow internet was watching that gif play in slow motion as it loaded. It's hilarious slowed down.

When I first started working at McDonald's all I had was a worn out pair of Vans classics. I slipped and almost burned my face off three or four times a day.
