On Tuesday, one construction worker shared a photo of the quirky fashion choice he happened to make on the same day his client requested he remove his work boots.

Reddit user Austmov said in a post that he was quoting a job and had to take off his shoes to protect the flooring. That’s when he remembered what he wore that day.

His flip-flopped, perfectly pedicured toes — complete with toe rings — were actually just an unusual pair of socks.

Despite the potentially awkward situation, he says it “actually made my day when I saw what I had on my feet.”
