Issue: One rubber foot missing.(No shit, Sherlock. Well, I guess they're required to fill in a standard form.)
Steps to Reproduce: Visually, rubber foot has fallen off.
Proposed Resolution: Replace bottom cover.
Cosmetic Condition: Good condition minus missing foot.
Oh, and that reminds me... when I went in to the Apple Store, I started off with the following conversation with a pair of store employees:
Me: I need a replacement foot for my laptop.
Them: (blank looks, look at each other for help)
One of them: Foot?
Me: You know, those things on the bottom of the laptop?
Them: (still blank)
Me: (pulls out laptop, showing the gaping spot where a nice black rubber foot normally resides.
One of them: Oh, that...
What do they call them these days, if not feet? Or am I the only one who has had one self-destruct on them?

I would've called them rubber pads or stubs. Foot makes me think of a long stand of some sort. I'd be curious to know if there is an actual technical word for those feet/stubs/pads.
