Spike!

Yeah, so, when I took off my shoes this evening and looked at the bottom of one, I noticed a rock stuck in the treads. As is normal, instead of tearing up the wood floors with a rock in my shoe, I went to remove and toss it.

Except, I couldn't remove it.

I tried pushing it, and grabbing it with my nails, but the thing wouldn't budge.

So, after a good five minute try, I found tweezers to pull it out.

It's a centimeter long. Shoved straight up into my shoe.

No, I wasn't going to pull that thing out without help.
