If some of you are so obsessed over flip-flop wearers I can only imagine the anger issues you must deal with.

Maybe a thread needs to be started about people popping their chewing gum. I wonder how many Flip Flop wearers enjoy hearing that!

Actually, if you go back and read the first post, it was, along with the noise.

The title of the thread is: "Is there anyone else annoyed by flip flop wearing people?"

Obviously the poster is annoyed with the people wearing them also.

The title of the thread was NOT "Is there anyone else annoyed by the sound of flip-flops"

Poor thing to have to endure such a sight

I think I might go out and buy some flip-flops now

I don't like seeing them in a grocery store or restaurant. I don't want to see someones dirty feet while I'm trying to eat. Let's face it, not everyone who wears flip flops get pedicures.

When I was a teenager I worked in a grocery store late in the evening, and at closing time it was my job to sweep the isles. On my first day after sweeping a coworker pointed out the whitish colored stuff in the debris, and said it was dead skin from peoples feet.

The sound they make is so disgusting and annoying; even the Bible talks about the slap-slap of sandals and how they are only worn by whores! Ha ha, if only the wearers knew that.

Like my Mama always used to say;

one accuses to excuse.

That makes no sense what so ever...dead skin doesn't have a color.
Anything for shock value. LOL
