They're not that bad. But I have seen prettier and he has hurt my feelings, bastard.

And he's an oil-painting, I suppose, perfect in every regard? Don't get mad, get even.

Mine says things like "oh dear, the boy has inherited your squeet". Squeet are square-feet. Apparently my toes are hairy too... he's probably just jealous though as his head hair migrated to his back! Wink

it's not a kind thing to say but it's not really outrageous in the grand scheme of things, is it? Is he normally rude to you?

gtamom · 06/08/2010 06:48

My husband says I have fat sausage toes, I say he has creepy long spidery toes.

Have fun with it! :)

Have you got hobbit toes?

DH comments on my "pointy" chin... So I stab him in the back with it!!! Grin

Colliecross · 06/08/2010 09:44

Everyone has weird feet except me actually.

Gibbon · 06/08/2010 09:47

OP made me lol in real life.

Sorry to hear about your toes.

CerealOffender · 06/08/2010 09:48

tell him he has a teeny tiny hobbit cock

PickleSarnie · 06/08/2010 09:56

My OH says I have hoofs for feet and sometimes whilst he's attempting to be all nice and give me a hoof foot rub, he makes neighing sounds and clip clop noises.

Noellefielding · 06/08/2010 11:52

squeet! LOL LOL LOL!
cerealoffender LOL LOL LOL!
Picklesarnie LOL LOL LOL!
so glad I'm not alone
no he's not always rude but his feet are VILE - I only told him in response that he has feet like an Orc.

i do have podgy toes, they're not pretty. I really envy women with those feminine feet.

Girl in shop tried to get me into some gladiator sandals and I said cutting my legs off at the ankle would make me look like an Olympic shot putter (sp?) and she backed off with those ugly sandals... you need really pretty legs for those!

My OH always says I have hobbit feet (count yourself lucky that yours only extend to your toes!) He also always thinks I am a size 8 foot (actually 5 1/2), so it is just perceptions... I just put it down to the fact he hasn't a clue and instead am very proud of my 'hobbit feet'. There are worse things to have...

Jasonthunderpants · 06/08/2010 12:00

my brother can peal a banana with his feet.

cyteen · 06/08/2010 12:01

I do have hobbit toes. Hairy :)

Jasonthunderpants · 06/08/2010 12:03

cyteen
If hobbit toes are hairy does that mean I have a hobbit arse?

wukter · 06/08/2010 12:03

It depends how he said it, OP.
Did he spit it venomously during a ranting row?
Did he hold your hand and promise he'd always be there for you before breaking the news gently?

Noellefielding · 06/08/2010 12:05

LOL Jason!

Hobbit toes are not just about being HAIRY they are about being podgy and unfeminine I think

oh lordy, don't look up ugly toes on google images!

trumpton · 06/08/2010 12:06

my feet Grin not really.

YellowDaffodil · 06/08/2010 12:30

My DH is obsessed by my feet because my two toes next to my big toes are longer than my big toe iyswim.

He even googled it to find out if it was a recognised deformity.

I just look at him in a slightly pitying way everytime he mentions it and loudly suggested that our friends cover their feet so they don't encourage his fetish!

Jasonthunderpants · 06/08/2010 14:03

YellowDaffodil

those toes run in our family too (on my mums side)

wukter · 06/08/2010 14:07

YellowDaffodils - Viking toes, they are. You have Nordic ancestry, and so do you Jason (on your mum's side)

YellowDaffodil · 06/08/2010 14:39

Really is that true wukter? Does that mean anytime DH pisses me off I can pop on a funny hat and raid his belongings?

cornflowers · 06/08/2010 14:45

Mine tells me I don't need a pedicure, I need a blacksmith! Confused

Oblomov · 06/08/2010 14:46

ha ha. i have "club foot" from dh. etc.prob is my feet are as wide as they are long. almost. seriously.
can't argue with it Op if it is factually correct !!

wukter · 06/08/2010 14:56

I think so, yellowdaffodils.

True enough for a little light raiding of an evening, certainly.

Lol cornflowers.

isthatporridgeinyourhair · 06/08/2010 14:56

My toes are perfect Grin but DH considers my feet to be positioned, when I walk at "10 to two" Shock. Taking farking liberties. It was all that bloody ballet.
