Attack of the evil shoes

Friday I was riding home on the L train wearing my huge platform shoes. I stood up to get off and heard a cracking sound under my foot that sounded like glass. I sheepishly lifted my foot to inspect the damage. Just as I finally identified what I had stepped on, a girl exclaims behind me "You crushed my fingernail." It was someone's fleshy colored french manicure tip. I was horrified and looked back at the girl apologetically to find her smiling and breaking into laughter. She was joking. I found it hilarious and probably a joke I would have made upon witnessing the same thing. If we were like 5 years old and we were at the beach instead of the L train, we would have been friends for life...ok maybe just the summer but no, we are adults and that is the only moment we will ever have....but it was a good one.
