Flip flops, menace to civilization

Dear Bloggy,

I am furious. Someone dropped an LL bean tote on my toe. Luckily, I was wearing sturdy walking shoes so the damage was minimal. It smarts now though. Thank goodness, I don't wear sandals on metro.

Gosh, now I am paranoid about getting smushed toekins. I don't understand how people can wear flip flops in DC. OK people, I don't want to upset the general populace, however this must be said.

Suits and flip flops look silly. Plus I don't like looking at naked feet. I guess its OK at the beach but it is truly gross to see people's toes in the city. I don't know why. I don't like to think of flip flops at Starbucks. It is just soooo vulgar. Flip flops shouldn't be worn in museums either. Put a toe-burka on, their called birkinstocks people. Wear wooly socks for a truly fashionable granola statement.

I don't know why city flip flops bother me. I have some theories.

1. I have arch envy (i lost mine a few years ago)
2. I want cute toes too.
3. The awful thunk thunk noise interrupts my whimical thoughts.
4. I dislike seeing feet get stepped on.
5. Accidents happen. Squirrels do attack what they can reach.

Keep flip flops at the beach and your toes covered people! DC is a conservative town!
