Bunions, nail fungus, varucas, even peeling nail varnish. It's just tacky let alone disgusting.

Ever think that these folks are changing their shoes once they actually get to their place of employment? I don't arrive to work wearing everything I will be wearing for the day. It's just too damn hot/disgusting outside to do so.

Then they should wear sneakers, aka trainers, and change them when they get to work. There is no reason to wear these flip flops anywhere outside of the shower. I don't want to see their ugly feet peering out of their suit pants.
 
 One moron who works a professional job in my building was even wearing jeans and flip flops on a Thursday. These are the kind of morons that cause dress codes to be instituted.

I used to be anti-flip flop as well.  5 years ago I got some before I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon.  
 
 On really hot days flip flops are much more comfortable than than shoes, socks etc.  Not to work though, unless I'm working from home and need to walk the dogs or something.  I am still opposed to men in leather sandals though.
 
 Rhett, perhaps if your wife shaved her feet and hairy toes the appearance of her feet in flip flops would not be so offensive.

Worst is at shows.  I was at a packed show once and had to get quickly to stage from the back (work not just being a jerk).  Well the crowd was full of gits wearing flip-flops so stepping on toes was a problem.  In the end I felt no pity for people going to a crowded place with inappropriate footwear.
 
 I view flip-flops like I view biking shorts.  They both have their place, and when you wear them outside their intended place, it is just wrong.

As a wearer of flip flops, I agree.  Around the house, around the yard, maybe an errand or two, the beach, Rhett's house.  Yeah.
