"Sich den Schuh anziehen" literally "to put on the shoe" meaning "to take something personally"
Once there was this journalist, Paul Allen, who took a reference to Mercury by Peter Brook quite personally and felt that was the part allotted to him and maybe his colleagues. So what is there about journalists that would link them to the god of merchants and thieves? Selling news and making them up, telling lies, scheming and then leaving the sinking ship. Who needs to play the part of the villain in any given situation? Yet there is a saving grace as Mercury was also the patron of the poets.
