Bicycle shops, car dealerships, tire shops, walk around and its squeak
squeak squeak. I would presume that the tires are out-gassing something that
falls on the floor and causes a squeak. Anyone know what that chemical is or
what does in fact cause the squeaking when you walk around at a shop that
has tires in it?

Most of the time those floors are very smooth, probably even waxed or
treated with a sealer, etc.
I think it is the smoothness that causes your rubber
soled shoes to be more prone to squeaking, not some
discrete chemical compound.

I can make my Raebok shoes squeak good and loud, if I want to.
Where are my socks?

I think the squeaking is you being too tight to buy a decent pair of shoes...

The first time I piloted a floor buffer when I was in the Army, that
buffer got away from me.The second or third time it was easy.

That's always fun...it starts spinning wildly and (hopefully without the
socket) pulls the plug out of the wall...
