Why do people "look" at their feet?

[Chocolate Moose]

So, when I'm sitting on the subway or anywhere I'm waiting (a drs office, etc) I see people stick out their leg, move their foot from side to side, and examine/admire their feet/shoes/whatever .

Why do people do this? I never once had such an inclination !

Maybe Because They Don't Want To Make "eye Contact" With Anyone In The Waiting Room. Just A Guess.

Good guess, like in a doctor's waiting room, right ?

I used to see very strange people on the subway. One of my faves was the guy holding onto the bar flexing his bicep (small) and watching his reflection. He looked embarrased when he caught me chuckling.

People love to look at themselves and feet are just part of that

I think it's to avoid eye contact too.... altho I look at my feet in a subway or train (or on escalator, etc) to keep from seeing the motion pass my vision ... helps w/ motion sickness.

I look at my feet when they are nice during the summertime. During the winter I don't want to see them no how no way!

Maybe they have nothing better to look at.

I do that while waiting with a group of strangers. I don't know why.

I can read and watch my toes. I am multi-talented at multi-tasking!!!!! *L* Maybe I will start looking at my boobs instead! Now that would turn some heads!!!

Seriously, I will read in a DR's office, but I have a hard time concentrating while people watching.

I have tried to read in the waiting rooms, just doesn't work for me. Can't concentrate, I pay more attention to what is going on around me.
