Bass Cadet Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 This morning when I left for work it was blazing sunshine so I selected a lovely pair of flip flops to adorn my feet for work. At midday however the heavens opened. I was indifferent, I quite like wearing sandals when it's rainy so I can splash about in the puddles without having to put up with wet shoes for the rest of the day. I went out to lunch, the rain stopped. I left my mates after my allotted hour (and a very nice sandwich), got 10 yards and it started with the hail. Not just any hail, huge fuckers like musket balls stinging me through my clothes - oocha! I was hurrying along when I caught the toe of my flip flop in a drain which put me all out of kilter. To regain my balance (without falling on my arse) I must of taken my foot out of my sandal. It went plop - down the drain - leaving me with only 1 sandal, but not only that, in my struggle to regain my balance I stepped in a very fresh feeling dog turd (it was warm and squishy). So I found myself in the situation where I only had 1 shoe and the other foot was somewhat mucky (easily washed off in a puddle though) and still a fair distance from work although I did make it back. Now the dilemma though, how can I walk home with only 1 shoe? I live in Tillydrone and there is a lotta glass aboot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you see her?Wearing sandals is better than having stinky feet - to keep your feet wrapped up when the weather is clearly nice enough for you to set those toes free is moronic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the dogshit is long gone - my foot has since been disinfected and perfumed - It was a good excuse to kill some time through in the nurses room and not work!Home time is looming and I've managed to scrounge up a pair of old wifie shoes that are only 1 size too small!

Anyway I found the whole experience thoroughly amusing - standing in the pelting hail with one foot in a sandal and one in a dog turd. I haven't laughed that hard for months - my belly muscles are still sore!Anyway got home fine, I was just worrying unnecessarily (as usual) All's well that ends well and all that.............

Bass Cadet Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 In a strange twist of fate, I have my missing sandal back! I had noticed that the offending flip flop was floating in the drain (they were cork coated) but unknown to me, a mate of mine went and lifted the drain, retrieved my flip flop and returned it! It's very clean (I think he must of washed it) What a crazy thing to do! - Daft sod! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
