I don't like "flip-flops". Period. Don't like them one damned bit!

[JanMichael]

The sound, the shuffling, the cheap plastic sight of them all make me ill!

I HATE flip-flops! It's true and I lived in Florida for half of my damned life!

Sandals? Fine, can you walk without shuffling? FINE!

But flip-flop??? NO No No NO!!!!!!!

Fucking cheap pieces of petroleum waste products...Feed the beast dammit!

:evilgrin:

[In_The_Wind]

1. they break rather quickly ...

needing to be replaced with another pair of flip-flops ...

[JanMichael]

2. Wasting even more petroleum crapola.

They should be banned.

Better yet those who...

[In_The_Wind]

7. exactly ...

your point ...

and flip-flops have been breaking for over 50 years ...

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

3. People taking the PA bar exam were prohibited from wearing them

Too much noise when leaving the room on breaks.

[SoCalDem]

4. Damn you!!! Flip Flops are sacramental shoes..

I love flip flops..even the sound they make.. They old rubber ones were better though :)

[JanMichael]

8. They're sacrificial foot coverings!

That sound...that HORRIBLE SOUND!

Gawd.

[SoCalDem]

14. Just for you, Jan Michael

How well do your flips flop?

16. $24.99 flip-flops (thongs)??? ie. the 23rd sign of the fucking apocalypse?

Oy!

[JanMichael]

20. The fact that there are expensive thongs deserve a thread of their own.

The fact that they exist makes me afraid.

[Left Is Write]

12. We didn't call those flip-flops when I was a kid.

We called them thongs.

[JanMichael]

17. Come to think of it so did I.

37.

[Floogeldy]

5. What is your major malfunction, Numbnuts?

SHOES! SHOES! SHOES! I CAN'T STAND SHOES!

;)

[Misunderestimator]

6. What's worse is when you buy sandals that are perfectly fine at first...

then after a while start making the slapping sound.... ugh. Oh wait... flip flops... yeah, I hate em too! :hi:

[JanMichael]

9. You know I'm a pretty easy going guy, right?

But that slapping, even when my princess Stephanie wears them, drives me bat shit crazy!

[Misunderestimator]

10. Oh tell me about it... it's simply awful!

And when it's coming from my own feet.... I'm nothing less than mortified! What IS it about that sound? LOL

[JanMichael]

15. It's the sound of all that's "good" being sucked into hell.

Like a flippity floppity grimm slipper, er, reaper.

Of course I don't actually believe in "hell" but it's fun to use.

[Misunderestimator]

18. OMG... And I thought I was alone in my suffering.

You have just described exactly what is so abhorable about it. Flippity Floppity Fucking Hell! LOL!!! Too funny. (Also qualifying my use of the word "hell" with the fact that I don't believe in one... :D)

[JanMichael]

19. It's the sound of the world spinning into oblivion.

Whooooosh!

[Misunderestimator]

21. Damn. After all... the world is reduced to the agonizing sound of...

flip flops. How appropriate.

[Zomby Woof]

11. If you don't quit yer bitchin'

I am going to post a yak thread. :P

[evlbstrd]

13. Naval flashback! STOP!

Boot camp, barracks, ships, hurricanes... FLIP FLOPS!!!!

[6000eliot]

22. They give me the creeps!

[FLSurfer]

23. Ouch. That really hurts.

I love them. Had no idea people felt that way.
Honestly I must have at least 20 pair and haven't worn a pair of shoes for years. Reef even makes one with a bottle opener in the bottom. Beer anybody?
But I own a surf shop, so I guess that skews my opinion?

[Mutley]

24. I like flip-flops well enough...

I just don't like my feet enough to show them off.

[BensMom]

25. One pair every summer

The cheapest or hand me downs (hand my ups) from my daughter.

They work for my quick dash out in the yard to stop the dog from threatening the squirrels.

If you have ever accidentally stepped in a dog turd bomb - you know flip flops can save the day.

[tjwmason]

26. Seconded.

They are the ultimate in hideousness.

What I find even more iritating is when the manfuctureres sew a couple of cheap bits of coloured plastic on (because they really look like gems), so that they look like dressy ones. :puke:
