One morning, my manager asked me to deliver a heavy water feature.
He said, "This water feature is very heavy. Be careful. I'll find a pair of boots for you. What size do you wear?"
"Size six."
"Okay! Let me go and look."
A few minutes later, he brought a pair of boots to me and said, "I couldn't find a size six, but I found a size nine. They're a little big for you. You can put some tissue paper inside."
"Don't worry!" I took them, put them on, and walked away.
A few hours later, I returned from the delivery and walked into our garden centre with heavy steps.
Everyone laughed at me: "You look like a robot!"
I am 165 cm tall and normally wear size 6 shoes. That day, I was still the same height, but I was wearing size 9 heavy-duty boots. So, I did look like a robot. It's true.
A few months later, our garden centre issued every staff member a new pair of boots in the right size.
