Fark it. Just drive barefoot. More fun that way.

i hate those farking things.
people with ugly feet insist on wearing them.
people who wear them refuse to pick up their feet when walking in them.

yesterday i tripped up some dame when i accidentally stepped on the heel of her flip flop while she was in mid-stride.

They're too damn noisy too. Next time i'm gonna nail one to someone's heel.

what did pataki do now?

I have flip flops but they are irritating to wear.

: Fark it. Just drive barefoot.

Isn't it illegal to drive barefoot? Not that I care, just curious if it's true or not....

My flip flops are toxic? Are you f***ing kidding me? Well then, sign me up for cancer because I thought those were the least of my friggin' worries.

IsoTropt
that is exactly what I do

yes it is illegal (at least in Virgin-i-a)

Damn nay sayers!

Of course its dangerous to wear them while driving, but what do you wear in the summer?

Sandals with white socks?

/might be a german cliche

'round here, everyone calls them "thongs" for some reason,

they should talk about the dangers of driving in heels. now that is hard to do. not only are they terrible on the body, but it is so awkward to even try driving in them.

oh and when they are quoting about the sperm count from the Sun, is that the tabloid magazine that they are referring to? that would be funny if it was.

Researchers claim a flip flop, worn by millions, can easily get stuck under the pedals and cause a fatal accident, The Sun says.

Solution: Restrict your flip flop to one person at a time.
/not sure how they fit millions into their car anyway

So, if we stop wearing them are we any better off?

I think your safe if you drive an automatic...

Well, I'm dead. Call the cremation guy. I live in my flip flops, and as a matter of fact, recently got mine caught under the brake pedal and just missed rear ending someone. But having been both wearing flip flops and driving for well over a decade, this could be the first time it has ever happened. So I'm chalking it up to the pile of other near misses I've had that are non-flip flop related.

Yes, and having small feet is dangerous because you can't get to the brake pedal fast enough. Big feet jam both the brake and the gas at the same time, just as dangerous mind you. This is some report trying to take the liability from bad drivers to sandal makers, obviously brought about from the velcro lobbyists so as to criminalize the said sandal companies and bankrupt them.

Make you lose? I thought George won...?

14 out of 25 pairs of flip flops they studied contained toxic chemicals known to lower sperm count in men and attack the liver, kidneys and reproductive organs.

Kind of a critical bit of info missing there: How do these chemicals harm the body? Can they be absorbed through the skin just from wearing them, or would you have to eat them or something stupid like that?

plus, my sperm count can take a lil lowering no problem at all!

'round here, everyone calls them "thongs" for some reason,

once someone told my grandma that she needed to wear a thong with her white pants because you could see her underwear through them. she then told the lady that she hated wearing thongs because they always gave her blisters between her toes.

I was considering vasectomy but now I'll just continue wearing my flipflops.

I thought it was a no-no to call out Farkers by name in headlines? Personally, I think flip_flop is a cool guy- if he did any of what they are accusing him of, I'm sure it was purely accidental.

Golf clap on the headline.

"Leigh Purves, gossip columnist for the Daily Star, is among those to have had a close call while driving with designer flip flops.

She has told how, while travelling on the M1, her sandal got stuck under the brake pedal and she missed another car "by millimetres"

Got to love the metric system. It makes you sound like such a little drama queen.

"OMG...My flip flops almost, like, killed me..."

trendy flip flops

Oxymoron.

I call shenanigans.
Driving barefoot is the best, anyway.
In south Louisiana it's too farking hot to wear more than flip-flops right now. I even wear them to work.

lower sperm counts, attack the liver, and make you lose presidential elections, curve your spine and cause the country to lose the war.

-Carlin

Flip-flops can lull you into a false sense of toe security. Some of the worst big toe stubbings can be tied to flip-flops.

thegoodsyo

"Grandma" and "thong" should never EVER be in the same sentence.

What farking idiot wears flip-flops while driving, anyway? That's just stupid.

people who wear them refuse to pick up their feet when walking in them.

Oh, that drives me nuts, even though I do own some of the offending shoes. I at least pick my feet up when I walk in them!

People who shuffle their feet are up there for me with people who don't wait for me to get off the elevator or bus before they barge on, people who talk during movies...

ooooo.. i saw that last "presidential" joke coming from a mile away

FLA Chickie: Isn't it illegal to drive barefoot? Not that I care, just curious if it's true or not....


Urban myth, no state has a law that says you can't drive bare foot. This was covered a long time ago...

I can't wear flip-flops because the between-the-toes bit hurts my feet. Fortunately, I have other sandals I like much better, and which I wear everywhere except work (no open-toed shoes there).

And no, the kind of slip-on sandals that have a wide band across the foot are way less likely to fall off than flip-flops or the kind of sandals that look like flip-flops without the vertical toe thing. Especially the ones with kitten heels. I don't understand how people walk in those.

Tevas rock!

flip flops = PWNED

my mom always freaked out about a lot of things... but when I was a teenager, one thing that always made me laugh was when she would go INSANE saying "It's illegal to drive barefoot!" She would literally get red in the face.

Are people eating their flip-flops really a big issue?

Leigh Purves, gossip columnist for the Daily Star, is among those to have had a close call while driving with designer flip flops.

Designer flip-flops?

Flip flops really are ugly little shoes. I look forward to the passing of this "trend."

Some people have the most gnarly feet. I hate being assaulted by them at the grocery store or other necessities. Sometimes people's feet make me gag. And it's always a 260 lb man with B.O or something. Occasionally it will be a middle-aged woman who looks like she wore 3 inch heels a size too small her whole life. Yech.

Does this mean we will start seeing clogs again?? Or, Dr. Scholl's....they were huge back in the day!

LiaLia
Can someone please explain to me WHY it is illegal to drive barefoot?

It's legal in Florida. God-- says it's legal everywhere... Who am I to doubt that?

Holy Fark! When did they find a cure for cancer? I mean they must have to been spending time researching farking flip-flops.
/Hates when dumb people waste time and money on useless things.
