Has this creepy-to-me thing ever happened to you?



I was driving home after a tranquil grocery store visit.

And I spotted at least 15 shoes on the road, spread out sporadically over a half mile.

    As long as there were no feet in them it's all right.  Either a prank or someone left them on their car roof and drove off.   (or the marriage went sour before the very newlyweds reached the motel)

    Actually takes some of the creepiness out of it for me, thanks.
    There were definitely no feet.

    In all actuality, they did look like they were sitting on the road as if they may have fallen off a vehicle's roof or something.

    I drove by today (I saw the shoes last evening). 
    The shoes are all gone.

      Wait, did someone say “motel”?



      Sorry, it’s just that it‘s an automatic trigger for me. I know, I know, I need to go somewhere and seek professional help.

    So many questions;  
    Were there any pairs?  
    Were they your size?  
    Were they new or used?  
    What happened to the 16th shoe?
    Were they women's or men's shoes?
    What color were they? 
    Sounds like a case for the investigator Randy D., especially if they were woman's shoes.

    They looked like adult-sized shoes. I was driving, so I didn't specifically notice details of your questions about the shoes. :)

    I think it was mostly how they were sporadically sitting in weird, various places on the road that was weird to me.

      I’m already on the case. Expect a report the morning after.

    Perhaps it was the Rapture. No shoes needed in Heaven.

    Hadn't thought of that! Ha!
    Darn, I'm still here.  :)

    You made me think of a cartoon I've always liked:

    Since there was only 15 shoes; look for a man or woman missing one leg who lives in the area.  Someone may have stolen his or her; one shoe.

    No, I see shoes everywhere all the time. Of course, there are also usually pants and shirts and people in them.
