I was at my endocronolgist today and I was wearing black and white Adidas Sambas and then my doctor randomly asked if he could tie my right shoe. It was only coming untied a little bit. Like it was just loose.
Wtf? What was the point of that? |

Maybe he has a thing about loose shoelaces. When I was based in a school for work I used to warn kids if their laces were loose. Didn't want to see one of them faceplate on the sidewalk. Could be your doc asked out of politeness instead of saying "hey your shoelace is loose"

I do not like the sound of this. At all.
Gonna call out foot fetish. Obviously, nothing wrong with foot fetish, no harm done there. But the situation and the place was profoundly wrong.

I saw him today for my 3 month appointment. The first thing he said was "I like your shoes. Those are some cool Nikes." Then he started going on about wanting to wear cool shoes bu not with ties so he had to choose.
So I'm thinking he just wanted to take a closer look at my Adidas ones last time since they were pretty in style 3 months ago and the only reason I was able to get a pair was that was the night of the college protests. Idk. Thats my thinking anyways.

My thought would be that he has a lot of patients who lack the flexibility and dexterity to tie their own shoes well, so it's become second nature for him to offer when he sees a lace in need.

This reminded me how I retained the habit of vigilance over closing the front door after I had my foster cats rehomed. I no longer needed to be vigilant to prevent foster cats from running away should I leave the front door open, but the ingrained habit took a long time to die. Eventually it did. This doctor might be doing it on autopilot, without checking and seeing that this particular patient, unlike many others, is not obese and can perfectly well tie the loose shoelace.

Maybe he has some OCD tendencies or is someone who doesn’t understand social interactions well. Those traits can exist among intelligent, accomplished people.

Oh how odd. I would decline the offer.

That’s kind of strange, honestly. I’ve had doctors ask me random things during appointments, but tying my shoe would definitely throw me off. Maybe he was just trying to be polite or thought it might be bothering you, but it definitely feels a little out of place. I guess I’d be a bit weirded out too, especially if it wasn’t a big deal in the first place.

Maybe to show you that he cared so you would not trip over it later when it totally unraveled. A thank you to the doc would have been nice.
