In a vain effort to direct my rage at something other than the helpless animal that has so earned my disdain in the last few days, I thought I would direct it at something harmless enough that it won't hurt anybody, except maybe those who think flip flops are dress sandals. Read on...
First, look at this page and what the title in the search is. Then look at the items it describes. Then page through the successive pages. What do you notice about these 'shoes'.
http://www.zappos.com/n/es/d/722000283/page/1.html We have a policy at work that there are NO FLIP FLOPS to be worn. But many of them keep turning up. They recently clarified that it has to have a heel if it is an open-toed shoe! WTF???. This is pure and utter bullshit!!!
I don't care what kind of HEEL it has, if it doesn't have a STRAP around your heel, IT'S A FUCKING FLIP FLOP!!!!!!!
It makes that same annoying noise flapping against your heel when you walk by....IT'S A FUCKING FLIP FLOP!!!!!!!
I don't care if it IS silver or gold or has beading or studs or fucking ostrich feathers....IT'S A FUCKING FLIP FLOP!!!!!!!
A heel does not make it a shoe! A STRAP makes it a sandal...NOT a HEEL!!
I can guarandamntee you that if I turned up to work in flip flops I would be sent home to find other footwear. But these little gumchewing college co-eds and would-be waitresses get away with it because they are cute.
I am not, now, nor have I EVER been cute. Striking perhaps, but not cute.
All you cute little bitches out there remember that one day, you will be over forty, over weight, and your fucking little flip flop HEELS will not hold your fat ass up!
Okay I'm done.
