Episode 222: Eminent Toe-main

Episode 222

12th August 2015

What’s “public” and what’s “private” space? A woman agrees to refrain from wearing a certain pair of shoes in public, but finds the terms unclear.

Episode notes

Amy brings the case against her girlfriend Alexa. They made a bet. If Amy won, Alexa had to refrain from wearing a certain pair of shoes in public for three days. Amy believes that Alexa broke the terms of their agreement by wearing the shoes in their yard. Alexa says she stuck to the rules. Who’s right? Who’s wrong?

Addison Fox named this week’s case via the Judge John Hodgman Facebook page. Thanks, Addison!
