STEPPING ON TOES
Feet, the lowest part of our anatomy are sensitive and delicate, yet they hold the entire weight of our structure; they require care and attention, something that most of the time we forget to do. But this article is not about feet or toes and how they should be treated -or how some people get off by including them in the foreplay-, this is about the expression “stepping on toes” and the whole ethics on doing so.
step/tread on somebody’s toes
“To say or do something which upsets someone, especially by becoming involved in something which is their responsibility”
This is according to the Freedictionary.com, it can also involve dating or sleeping with your best friend’s boyfriend or someone he / she likes. So what to do when on a stepping on toes situation that directly involves you? Do you go for it and act on it because you know you will excel at it -this being professionally or romantically-, or is it best to be forever wondering what could have been but wasn’t?
What about in the work place, when you see something is not being done, is costing your company’s money or potential income and you have this brilliant idea that you know for a fact will work and save the day? Is this a toe-less situation as the toes are supposed to be moving or are as a fact, out of the way? I am of the opinion that some fair warning to the parties involved always helps, and if inactivity prevails, then it’s all fair game.
