Some people like to inflict their ugly feet on the rest of the world, like we need to see and hear their nasty hooves.

How about flip flops worn by those too lazy to lift their feet, scrape scrape scrape along the ground. I live in Singapore, which granted, is a hot sweaty place 24 hours a day, but there's no excuse for those Chinamen scraping scraping scraping along. Lift your fucking feet, I want to scream at them, especially if some sod, or worse, a pair of lazy sods are right on my tail scraping away.

my boss just came over to my side of the building (she's transferring to another department, thank GAWD), and she was wearing fucking flip flops with heels. i swear to christ.

what's worse is that her oinkers were shellaced with cherry red polish, and she was sporting not one but TWO toe rings.

she proceeded to give me my quarterly review while crossing her legs and waving these monstrous hogs in my horrified face.

jesus, with her mall hair and EVERYthang. oh yeah - her name's tami.



save me, jesus, i'm the pitiful one.

If you told me that was a real picture of your boss, I would believe you.

Didn't Jesus wear sandals? What's good enough for him should be good enough for the workplace. LOL. Just teasing!

I think sandals look nice on guys when they wear them with socks. It's casual and something fun/different. When someone says "flip flops" I'm thinkin of those cheap-o plastic things people wear to the beach. Not only do they look nasty, but some people's feet just look and smell nasty, and I don't want to be exposed to that all day.

I'm all in favor of a business-casual dress code at work. It's a nice balance between looking professional and being comfortable. I'd go nuts if I had to wear a suit and tie all day.

lovin that flippity-floppity sound

Wearing sandals with socks is almost (almost) worse than flip-flops in the workplace. A big fashion faux pas.

granted, carrie, yer TOTALLY RIGHT, but um...well, i gotta admit that i sometimes wear sandals with socks. i think it shows confidence. and it's comfy.

and now as an added bonus it might win me favor with tom? SWEET.

i'm all for fashion but sometimes pulling off shit like this is REALLY what's fashionable. at least that's what i tell myself every time i'm about to leave the house with sandals and socks on.

It depends on the source of the flippity-flop. Sweaty feet against vinyl, NO. Other areas of one's anatomy are debatable.

I would NEVER wear flip flops 2 work!

But at home...ummm comfie...

You'd have to shoot my husband then. But he's got beautiful feet though.

The ones in my vicinity aren't flip-flops PROPER, but they're in the flip-flop STYLE. It's like, the closest you can get to flip-flops while technically wearing office-appropriate shoes.

All flip-flops are skanky.

Now that IS a crime!

Anxiety said:

Yeah, but there is a difference between cheap, plastic flip-flops that you'd get in a drugstore, and really nice sandals that are based on the same design.

I have some really nice black leather Kenneth Cole ones that have a basic flip-flop design to them, but are actually very nice and dressy looking.

mplsgenius, i know that nothing i say has any weight anymore since i revealed my sock-and-sandal proclivities, BUT...

like gramma used to say: a flip'flop's a flip-flop, shit.

I can think of one reason why flip flops should be kept out of the office... Cracked Heals, and unkept toenails so gross.

Yes you are right. Nothing you say anymore holds any weight.

theblueangel said:

Everything you say holds weight, darlin'...except maybe your views on footwear...and even then I'll work really hard to give you the benefit of the doubt...

theblueangel said:

right on!

theblueangel said:

It doesn't matter what you wear, because I will be undressing you with my eyes

ohhh lol

my dad calls them GO AHEADS
lmfao!

I wear flip-flops all over the place! I really hate shoes. But I wear only two pairs of Reef black flip-flops - one is made of foam and more casual, but the other pair is made of leather and is actually kind of dressy. I always wear them with dresses and skirts and stuff.

Plus my feet are ALWAYS well taken care of, pedicures all of the time and tasteful foot jewelry, so it's not offensive in the slightest. I am a foot fetishist's dream come true.



Seriously, though, in the workplace? Not if they're the $5 kind from Walmart. Some flip-flops, however, CAN be dressy. I promise.
