I do love getting on an airplane and spotting someone like OP who is clearly about to have an aneurysm over people in flip flops and/or showing leg hair in shorts. Sometimes it makes me wanna slip em off and do mid-air toe curls.

Leg hair in public? I just threw up a little bit in my mouth. /s

I don’t understand how you can be so shameless and low class that you would wear these disgusting things in public letting all the dirt and germs go all over your feet and toes. Not to mention nobody wants to see your feet. The beach, I get it. But in public, during the week, walking around dirty streets, running errands, on an airplane, and out to eat — nasty as hell.

Any time I see open-toed shoes, I just think how disgusting those feet must be. Why can we just wear boots all the time? /s

idk about boots but what’s wrong with good shoes and nice breathable and absorbent socks during the work week and workday?

Humans are hairy mammals. Get over it. People with leg hair (most humans) are allowed to wear shorts.

I hate the smell of perfume. It's trashy and gross. It's rude to force people to smell something so artificial and nauseating. If you have a body odor problem, look into better deodorants or see a doctor.

Oddly, flip flops don't bother me.

I love flip flops. At fifty bucks plus a pair, they’re not that cheap either.
I do realize that they make my feet filthy, which is why I keep wipes at the door and wash them before bed if I don’t shower.

Akin to men wearing a “wife beater” tank top out and about. It’s just not something an adult with any class should do. Again, unless you’re walking to and from the beach or just got a pedi, of course.

You are hilarious! The fact you use the word low class means you have none. Nobody speaks like that unless they crave it, or what they preview “class” to be. The whole world wears sandals - get yourself a big ol pair of high class headphones and enjoy your narrow, and very small world! Feel Sorry that you live with such restrictions in your life. Therapy can help!

Yup, you have issues.

I grew up in Hawaii (we called them slippers) and now live in Florida. I wear flip flops every day. The only time my feet are in shoes is if I’m working out or hiking. I have regular flip flops and fancy flip flops for church and going out. It’s how we roll in Florida. Typical outfit - bikini under a loose fitting sundress, flip flops, and sunglasses. Year round.

I do not miss the drab fashion n DC. I love our bright colors. Especially my flip flops.

You're a nut job, OP. Stay in your house all summer and spare us your indignation.

Oh, this is hilarious. We just got back from two weeks in Europe - *everyone* was wearing flip flops. You sound so foolish.

You pay more than 50 for flip flops? They better be Vionics or some other orthopedic brand
