“Went to the airport barefoot this morning and it was the best feeling ever.”
Bryan Hodgson is the Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach at the University of Buffalo, and no, he didn’t go to the airport barefoot for TSA purposes.
On September 29, Bryan was headed to San Francisco International Airport when he decided to stop and get his caffeine fix at a local Starbucks (because, obviously).
“I got in line behind a homeless man with no shoes on, he had collected enough change to grab a banana and a drink,” Bryan wrote on Facebook.
It’s important to add that at this point in the morning, the basketball coach was still wearing both of his shoes.
“After getting his drink he spilled a little on the ground and rushed over to grab some napkins to immediately clean up after himself saying, ‘I would hate for someone to step in this.’ The man with no shoes on was worried that someone else with shoes on might step in his mess.”
How’s that for a dose of perspective?
Bryan says he then followed the man to the back of the store as he went to get more napkins, then asked him if he owned any shoes.
