When someone holds a cup with a hot beverage in their hands, those around them seem “warmer” — that is, more generous and friendly.
The common phenomenon whereby shoes end up hanging from telephone wires is called “shoefiti“: ”shoe graffiti.” There is no single opinion about what this is for. Here are just a few versions:
- Students throw their shoes onto telephone wires when they graduate.
- Sports teams do it in response to a loss or win in a game.
- It’s an indication of where drugs are sold. The color of the shoes indicates what type.
- It’s used by gangs to mark their territory.
- Thieves throw up shoes to create a short circuit in the electricity supply.
