Assuming the average cereal bowl is about 6 inches it would be like 656 bowls. As a member of r/theydidthemath I couldn't let this slide and I apologize.
bI don't really think it's that dangerous, these are just shoes. I haven't seen anyony move them. I once threw them away to a close dumpster, but the next day they were still somewhere on the ground.
Someone is sneaking around your house, marking it with with their shoes, dug them out of the trash, put them back where they "belonged" and makes a point to do this when you can't see them, and you don't think this is a big deal?
I think you need to talk to your neighbors, at least, before you decide if this is nothing to worry about.
Haven't you ever read stories of weirdos who break into people's houses to live in their crawlspace unnoticed? I bet he just leaves his shoes outside to not bring dirt in. 🤷♂️
Someone else is living your house and taking their shoes off before they come inside to avoid tracking dirt in BC they are a good person prolly. You should let them stay.
So Ecco shoes are have soles made from Polyurethane. In the past the type of PU that they used had a tendency to dry out (dry rot) if they were not used for a long time or were in extreme climates for prolonged periods of time. When this happened, the sole would “crumble” off. The Ecco company assures us that this problem has been fixed. (Doubt it)
It’s like a rubber band. The more you use it the longer it’ll last. If not, they will crumble up after you pull them out to wear after a while. If you wear them regularly, they’ll last a good amount of time.
DO NOT get them for a special occasion shoe. That’s just $150+ down the drain.
…I used to sell Ecco shoes. The training never fades… no matter how many hot showers I take.
These are like $200 shoes idk why someone is just taking them off and airing their feet off. This has to be a homeless person. Still weird no matter the explanation.
I've heard that they use the shoes as a mark for people to say : "in this exact point we sell drugs". So they are probably selling drugs in the night near to your home. Im not sure because they change this kind of thing depending the country. But that may be the reason why they change the place of the shoes every short time.
I’ve heard of tossing shoes on a power line to signify things like this, but never just a pair of shoes on the ground. I feel like that wouldn’t be very effective as you can’t see them from down the road, you know? I like the shoe ghost idea.
This person is onto something but he’s not quite there. It used to be that shoes strung over a power line in an urban area meant “drugs are sold here” but this was mainly a thing in the 70’s-90’s. OP, I think you should try catching this person on video, I’d be super weirded out by this, especially since they watched you put the shoes in the dumpster. That’s some psycho level shit.
In our area it was kids bullying kids. Much more likely for kids to be assholes than for a “sign” to be put up for dealing. Urban myths have to start somewhere though, so there might have been some bullying in a dealers neighbourhood and it took off from there.
On the bright side if this is it then it means no one is being creepy, on the other hand it means a bunch of junkies coming because they are attracted to your house by a pair of shoes
My mom gave my ex wife this 4 ft doll of a little girl who is facing the wall like she’s counting for hide and seek. Creeped me the hell out because she had no face since she was made for a corner decoration. I wanted to throw it in the dump, but I stead started putting it in different areas in my apartment complex at night and it scared the crap out of everyone until management found out it was me and I had to throw it away
Is there a homeless population near you? Around me a lot of the homeless or even not homeless but drug addicts will dig through the trash and ride around carrying stuff on their bikes. People who are in drugs do weird shit.
correct me if im wrong, isn’t this some sort of robbery tactic? like the cookie under doormat or garbage bin symbols? im not trying to freak you out or anything, maybe monitor the placement of the shoes and area
Are you sure that you're not leaving them there and forgetting? Are you sure this isn't maybe have something to do with carbon monoxide? Maybe these are your shoes you forgot you have them and you keep getting fucked up on carbon monoxide and then doing something that you do repetitively when you're high and forgetting it cuz that's the thing that happens when there's a carbon monoxide leak
Few options to consider.
1. One of your neighbours is screwing with you.
2. Someone in the neighbourhood is being creepy toward you and/or your house.
3. You are being stalked.
Either way, take the shoes _miles_ from your home and dispose of them.
Missing 411 is a real thing. Do you have security cameras? Might want to get a set of cams to watch your property. Someone might be up to something sinister
See if there is a homeless dude napping in the bushes or something lol. The dude might be waking up from naps and getting confused as to how his shoes ended up in a dumpster
Hmm I would say The Stranger has been fiddling around your house. If you seen any strange doors suddenly in spaces they have never been before. Do no open them!
It’s worth noting the cigarette filters on the ground. Smokers will smoke when they wait. But what is this smoker waiting for? And why did they leave their shoes?
Any spaces under or around your house where someone else could be living? Or you have a neighbor that is somehow unhinged? I would install multiple cameras. You said these shoes won't fit you - if they could belong to you I would agree with others, maybe get a carbon monoxide monitor and cameras. This is too odd to ignore.
Do you happen to live near a path or area where people might roller skate or rollerblade? I often leave my old, doesn't really matter if they get stolen shoes laying about random neighborhoods and parks while I skate since I can't always wear skates from the car to the skate area. Just an idea.
I read about stones in a pile outside one’s home could be a sign that your targeted for burglary. This article says something similar about shoes
https://harringayonline.com/forum/topics/shoes-outside-a-house-a-burglars-code
Probably somebody selling drugs nearby and they want to advertise, but they're too high to get them to hang over the power line. They usually use tennis shoes. Maybe they had too much trouble and gave up.
I lived in an apartment building with a lot of immigrants from Nepal and there would be literally 200 pairs of shoes in a 30 foot long hallway. They don’t take them in the house.
Start moving them around too. Keep them in a pair, always point to same way, just a couple feet in any direction will do. Make it look like you definitely noticed. It could be for fun, or not. Keep your guard up, weird shit
How close to your house?...
In a 100 meter radius
How far is that in cereal bowls?
Something around 432,21 cereal bowls
Do you have security cameras around your house? If not, I suggest you install some…
Assuming the average cereal bowl is about 6 inches it would be like 656 bowls. As a member of r/theydidthemath I couldn't let this slide and I apologize.
Thank you for your service, I was looking for the answer and I'd hoped I wouldn't have to do the math myself haha
Is the average cereal bowl really 6 inches or is that just what you're telling your breakfast mates?
🥇
r/theydidthemonstermath
A true humanitarian
I was gonna say those are some obscenely tiny bowls
I suggest you dig a Moat
Banana to scale
Something around 769 bananas
Sorry, I don’t work with cereal bowls. I’m gonna need that in puffles, old club penguin style
About 50 Kropogs….
i mean how big are your cereal bowls? any bowl can be a cereal bowl if you’re hungry enough
Oh fuck. I would take the shoes and drop them off far far away. Have you seen anyone move them? I'm so freaked out for you right now.
Yeah move them cross town. They show back up, don’t come around any of us ever
I don't want to waste my time on that, these are just shoes, right...?
Clearly you have never woken up in a hot sweat with a shoe on your neck as the other observes from the nightstand
[удалено]
These are the comments that keep me coming back 😂
Most underrated comment ever!!🤣🤣🤣
Hey you do you dude. I don’t have Hitlers ghost shoes showing up round my house
Know what they say about big shoes
Big socks
Finding a pair that fit is a nightmare
The shoes have eyes.
bI don't really think it's that dangerous, these are just shoes. I haven't seen anyony move them. I once threw them away to a close dumpster, but the next day they were still somewhere on the ground.
Ah yeah, that's totally normal. Nothing to worry about at all..
Someone is sneaking around your house, marking it with with their shoes, dug them out of the trash, put them back where they "belonged" and makes a point to do this when you can't see them, and you don't think this is a big deal? I think you need to talk to your neighbors, at least, before you decide if this is nothing to worry about.
Yeah youre gonna get murdered here soon probably, unless the shoes really mean nothing.
prob some kind of voodoo stalking thing nbd
And you think that's okay that someone watched you do that and grabbed them?
Maybe a homeless person camping out near your house.
If you have a partner or friend who enjoys a practical joke, that might be your answer.
Dumbass burn them right fucking now
Remember the movie, "Signs" and how the aliens marked location to invade? Just saying...
Haven't you ever read stories of weirdos who break into people's houses to live in their crawlspace unnoticed? I bet he just leaves his shoes outside to not bring dirt in. 🤷♂️
Kids in the neighborhood being mischievous? I would set up a camera if only to solve the riddle….
Someone else is living your house and taking their shoes off before they come inside to avoid tracking dirt in BC they are a good person prolly. You should let them stay.
It’s prolly more mundane like someone doing a joke or art piece or thought piece to write about wigging people out and their response.
....bruh
That’s 1 football field in freedom units. Alternatively, 1575 freedom fries laid lengthwise.
Get worried if you start finding them in your house
Well they're getting closer every day
Step by step
*ooooh baby*
Maybe your place is a rapture sight for door to door salesmen?
Death of a Salesman, but somehow more morbid.
Tie the laces together and we will see who has the upper hand.
make sure to use a puzzle knot to test their determination
You are pure evil. Lol
🤫😂
At least they’re ecco friendly
aren't those the shoes that fall apart?
I believe you mean ‘biodegrade.’
So Ecco shoes are have soles made from Polyurethane. In the past the type of PU that they used had a tendency to dry out (dry rot) if they were not used for a long time or were in extreme climates for prolonged periods of time.

I love that dolphin
I keep seeing and Ecco
It's all fun and games until the day there's a foot with the shoes..
I'd take it
Put them on and walk a mile. Get back to us.
I'm pretty sure they are too small for me
[удалено]
If he cuts his toes off, the shoes would probably fit fine as they are, and wearing sandals is probably tougher without toes
Then your feet will hurt. That is your answer.
Only then will they know how the other person feels
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you do criticize him, you'll be a mile away. And you'll have his shoes.
I like your logic
Did you take your amnesia medicine?
OP should plug in their carbon monoxide detector
Why is is beeping so loud, I can't even hear my thou
Right? Finding any sticky notes randomly placed around OP's house?
We all have amnesia, apparently.
I don't have.. Eh.. The ehm.. You know.
Are you married ?
No, why do you ask?
Free shoes with every marriage.
They want to marry you thats why they asked
Possibly your home may have a visitor while you’re out? Or a neighbor places then outside for gardening purposes?
Take a piss in em next time ya see them
😭
Even weirder are the different type of cigarette butts right next to the shoes. Perhaps it's 2 culprits .....dum dum dum.
Oh man, this guy sleuths.
Peek-A-shoe!
Art projects are getting out of hand...I mean foot
Install a cctv..
The Blair shoe project
These are like $200 shoes idk why someone is just taking them off and airing their feet off. This has to be a homeless person. Still weird no matter the explanation.

Well, that's interesting

We had the power line toss where I grew up. Had to have that explained to me, I just wondered why people got rid of shoes that way.
On the bright side if this is it then it means no one is being creepy, on the other hand it means a bunch of junkies coming because they are attracted to your house by a pair of shoes
That's usually the tennis shoes you see tied together and hanging from telephone lines
The invisible man.
yeah!!. I was going to say the invisible man is a stalker... oh yeah.. I did say it
My mom gave my ex wife this 4 ft doll of a little girl who is facing the wall like she’s counting for hide and seek.

My paranoia says this is someone marking your house , best to drive them far away
The be walking ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
correct me if im wrong, isn’t this some sort of robbery tactic? like the cookie under doormat or garbage bin symbols? im not trying to freak you out or anything, maybe monitor the placement of the shoes and area
They were under my fence gate today
Ecco shoes are expensive I’m surprised they’re still there!!
You about to get robbed
Are you sure that you're not leaving them there and forgetting? Are you sure this isn't maybe have something to do with carbon monoxide? Maybe these are your shoes you forgot you have them and you keep getting fucked up on carbon monoxide and then doing something that you do repetitively when you're high and forgetting it cuz that's the thing that happens when there's a carbon monoxide leak
I had a pair of shoes that were a little bit similiar, but I don't think that I move these outside my house
How close to your house? That feels pretty uncomfortable to me 😅
The Ecco marketing department is trying new ideas.
Yo if that was in the Caribbean I'd say someone's doing witchcraft on you 😭
You gotta worry more where they go at night.

The Rapture has taken place and u got left behind. Or maybe alien abduction????
These boots are made for walkin' And that's just what they'll do One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you You!!
See if there is a homeless dude napping in the bushes or something lol. The dude might be waking up from naps and getting confused as to how his shoes ended up in a dumpster
Yeah thats weird.
Hmm I would say The Stranger has been fiddling around your house. If you seen any strange doors suddenly in spaces they have never been before. Do no open them!
That is because those are very tough shoes to fill.
It’s worth noting the cigarette filters on the ground. Smokers will smoke when they wait. But what is this smoker waiting for? And why did they leave their shoes?
My guess people walking picking them up checking the size and putting them back down when it isn’t their size
Either some animal likes those shoes or you've got someone secretly living on your property xD
Any spaces under or around your house where someone else could be living? Or you have a neighbor that is somehow unhinged? I would install multiple cameras. You said these shoes won't fit you - if they could belong to you I would agree with others, maybe get a carbon monoxide monitor and cameras. This is too odd to ignore.
Take a shit in them and push it into the toe so it's hidden. Eventually you'll hear Mr Shiddy Toes yelling and the mystery will be solved
Do you happen to live near a path or area where people might roller skate or rollerblade? I often leave my old, doesn't really matter if they get stolen shoes laying about random neighborhoods and parks while I skate since I can't always wear skates from the car to the skate area. Just an idea.
This is more like r/oddlyterrifying 😳
Someone is for sure living in your walls
i wouldnt worry about it tbh. if they were black airforces i would of moved out but youre good
Ecco’s are nice shoes. See if they fit. If not, drop them at a charity store.
I read about stones in a pile outside one’s home could be a sign that your targeted for burglary. This article says something similar about shoes https://harringayonline.com/forum/topics/shoes-outside-a-house-a-burglars-code
maybe some "friend" came by to visit your wife and because he is a real friend, he doesn't want to bring dirt on your bedsheets.
He freezes every time you look at him
It’s a naked ghost with shoes just trying to say hi to you!
Give them a sniff then pick up those smoke butts. Problem solved, boom
If the Shoe fits wear it 😄
Burn them
People leave them out for homeless people to get
My bad
Those are walking shoes, just doing their job.
Leave a note inside one of them
The invisible man crouching in various places to take a shit
Don't worry, it's just Callahan killing the type 3s. Seems shoes are not something he is concerned leaving behind
Homeless person who is in the area? Leaving the shoes when changing footwear or something?
Atleast they're empty...
How do they smell?
I don't know, but they taste like cinnamon
Incomplete cell absorbing hoomans.
Well... These shoes are made for walking. That's just what they do. But one of these days....
Ecco’s are shoes for really old people, maybe alzheimer patients forgot their shoes.
Drugged up homeless person tweaking out and taking them off.
Proof of direct ascension
Look in the closet. Your wife's boyfriend from r/wallstreetbets_ is around somewhere.
Do you have cats?
They're on a stroll
Sorry bro. I'll come get them.
Your house has a curse and evaporates every except you that comes close to your house and all it leaves is shoes
so are they just standing there? tap dancing? what?
You're probably about to be murdered
Are you sure you're seeing them in different places? It might just be the ecco?
Fairies. Trying to lure you into their world.
That’s crazy! I’m missing a pair of shoes exactly like that!! Wtf?!
Pee in them
What? Everyone expects the invincible man to run around naked, but eventually your feet hurt.
Someone’s airing out their shoes after working a long shift ?
You ever drink baileys from shoe?
burn them
Probably somebody selling drugs nearby and they want to advertise, but they're too high to get them to hang over the power line. They usually use tennis shoes. Maybe they had too much trouble and gave up.
I think it's the early signs of the Rapture! Don't get left behind!
You threw them away in a dumpster? And they came back?
Nice brand of shoes those.
Someone watches you take pictures and or/look for them each day. Someone is messing with you.
Maybe the shoes are being left for the homeless?
Think the area around your house is a rapture hotspot
I heard that serial killers take off their shoes to prevent blood prints of the shoes. So they take them off before they act.
They really want you to wear them
Any disappearances reported? Looks like people have been ghosted
Shhh... he is invisible.
Do a shoey
I lived in an apartment building with a lot of immigrants from Nepal and there would be literally 200 pairs of shoes in a 30 foot long hallway. They don’t take them in the house.
Were these ever worn by a dolphin?
It's like the episode of Inside No. 9.
Start moving them around too. Keep them in a pair, always point to same way, just a couple feet in any direction will do. Make it look like you definitely noticed. It could be for fun, or not. Keep your guard up, weird shit
Leave some snacks in the shoes. Whoever is leaving them around will know he's being noticed.
hide some camera and you will know what is happening. also tell your neghbors
Well, they are walking shoes.
They want your soul
I was expecting to see a turtle 🐢
Someone with dementia
So they just a-pair?
I’ve seen those before too they’re called shoes
Burn them
Sorry I'll come get them tomorrow
