07. Seriously, always check the inside of your shoe

Now, I don’t know where the owner of this shoe is from, but this image will haunt me forever! Maybe this is why they say ignorance is a blessing.

It is amazing how our brains work: we live undisturbedly our whole lives not knowing all the dangers that exist in the world, and once we become aware of them, we get a bit paranoid, thinking that now that we know of these situations, they will definitely happen to us!

While growing up, you’ve probably heard from your grandparents or even your parents telling you to always check inside your shoes, as there may be animals inside them. 

I have always expected to find small spiders, in the most extreme cases, but a whole actual snake inside a shoe? Doesn’t it have any other place to hide? I would immediately throw my shoe away, call the firefighters, move to another country, and change my identity.
