I had to work in a different city for three months some years ago. 40 km+ away. PitA but realistic, I guess.

I was wearing some fancy shoes I bought online. I got on an elevator to the office (that I hardly ever used once I found the staircase) and the guy right beside me started laughing. I guess he's more perceptive than I am. He was wearing the exact same set of shoes. Same color, and I think even the same size! The brand isn't popular. I'm not on the lookout for other people's shoes but I've never seen anybody wearing the same set of shoes again.
