Yesterday I used to be getting my oil modified and when the mechanic got here again to the ready room to offer me my keys I had a query for her:
Me: Fast query. I all the time put my proper foot in that footrest thingy on the underside of the passenger facet door of my husband’s automobile however now I’ve worn a gap in it and he’s livid so I questioned if there was some type of protecting protecting I may purchase for it?
Mechanic: That little pocket on the underside of the door? Oh, I put my foot on there too and my husband hates it. I don’t assume they make a canopy for it but when they did I’d purchase one.
random man within the ready room: Oh my god, my spouse does that too. Y’ALL ARE RUINING THE DOOR.
Woman subsequent to him: Wait, are there individuals who don’t prop their foot on the footrest?
me: Apparently it’s not even a footrest.
Mechanic: Woman, it’s completely a footrest. What else would you do with it?
me: In my automobile it’s for straw wrappers and ft.
man: *head in fingers, sighing loudly*
Mechanic: I don’t know why they don’t simply make a canopy for it the identical means they do for floorboard covers?
Man: Since you’re not supposed to place your ft on it.
Woman: Then what’s it even made for?
Man: Nothing. It ought to simply be empty and clear.
me: Oh, each automobile maker makes an ideal footrest to simply by no means be used? Now who sounds loopy?
So now I’m questioning if it is a common drawback and if it’s simply ladies who prop their foot within the door pocket or if we have been only a bizarre unintended focus group?
PS. I’m unsure why different individuals do it however having my foot propped up relieves the strain on my arthritic joints so Victor mentioned I ought to simply get a kind of small “squatty potty” stools for the automobile, and that looks like a good suggestion till I get into an accident after which the paramedics surprise without end why I used to be utilizing a stool that will help you shit higher within the automobile. I assume I may simply write “NOT FOR POOPING” on it in sharpie however I believe which may look much more questionable.
UPDATED: As requested, a photograph of the footrest. Please excuse my unmanicured ft. I’m very lazy.
