Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

But will you pet it?

Wait, he did say leather, right? OK then, I'll pet it....

What is even happening?

Don't get me started on the bullshit about flip-flops. Fuck that, I don't want to wear socks in the summer.

I think, for me, the problem is the term. Flip flops are beach shoes. But there are sandals done in the thong style which are not flip flops, and in an office where hosiery isn't a required part of the dress, and/or if other women wear other sorts of open toed sandals, then the thong sandal ought to be acceptable, as well.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

The thing I don't like about flip-flops in the office, is the noise they make. It echoes down the hallway... FLIPFLOPFLIPFLOPFLIPFLOP.

Drives me nuts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I hate flip flops, but mostly for the wearing of them myself. I don't like the thing between the toes, nor the sole breaking contact with my sole, and then smacking right back.

I have a pair, and they're double strapped somehow, so they move less. But they still move.

Even my pair of slides makes me walk slower, just to avoid the slap.

As for work, even leather flip flops look uber casual to me, no matter how much bling.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

T-rot: That's what I'm saying. Ping me. The expense of getting it from Rice Lake-ish to Chicago-ish is on you.

Ok, the rest of this should be offline. Profile addy good.

I just had my sister insist to me that white sandals are fundamentally wrong, and a pink gingham dress should be worn with black shoes. Pink shoes are also fundamentally wrong.

Horrific.

This is so untrue. Pink velvet shoes are especially NEVER WRONG.

I don't like the thing between the toe

I can't wear any shoe with the thing between the toe. I just can't. I've tried and no. I do wear sandals, though. My summer staple is the basic Birkenstock. Not terribly fashionable, but so so comfortable.

I do work in a very casual office, so sandals, flip-flops, shorts are all a-okay here.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I bend the rules a bit and wear flip flops from home until I get to my desk, then I change into regulation high heels (hopefully ducking the CEO along the way). I'm not going to try to navigate the subway in heels; the rubber stops on the heels are destroyed as it is.

PS: I never experienced a melting or melted flip-flop in Phoenix or anywhere else. Please tell me with Robin Givhan is on.

It doesn't have to be 200 posts, ladies. It could be 20. We swear that that we will feel ten times the pain.
