What is with the popularity of sandals and flip-flops?

I have a pair that I use when I have to step outside to take out the trash or whatever, but aside from that, I don't much like them at all. I always feel like they're about to fall off when I walk in them, and if I'm not wearing socks at the time, my feet always get really sweaty and gross, which I don't understand at all. I guess I'm just weird.

I get annoyed by people who wear them at the mall or wherever I am at the time that isn't the beach or a pool. It's usually the preppy guys who shop at places like Abercrombie and Fitch or Hollander's.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Maybe it's because I am generally older and don't really pay much attention to young men wearing those horrible, preppy flip-flops and those girls in their expensive attire wearing pink sandals.

But I assure you, not just "preppy guys" wear flip-flops and sandals. While you may not enjoy letting your feet get air and enjoy walking on a lawn feeling the grass brush up against your ankles, MANY MANY MANY people do.

I am sure that if flip-flops and sandals would not sell so well if they were bought by only the "preppy guys" out there.

I'm well aware that preps are not the only people who wear them, but that's mainly who I see. Also, like I and Chaotic said, I don't like seeing people's disgusting feet. Sorry if I got everyone's panties in a knot for not liking that particular footwear. =/

There's nowhere I can't reach.

MajesticMan8888 on AIM might be able to help you out. He once proposed a plan of utter human annihilation but the little shitstain pussied out of it.

Sorry about that. I say we round them all up, chain them to chairs and have them dip their bare feet in buckets of ice water. (We'll have guards pointing guns at them with orders to kill immediately if they refuse.) After a while, they'll be begging for a pair of socks and shoes to warm their feet.

We give them socks and shoes on the condition that they surrender all of their flip flops/sandals and never buy them again. For good measure, we'll put tracking devices in all of them. Tracking devices that I just made up which will explode, reducing the body to cinders if they ever wear or purchase a pair of those vile things again.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
