This is just sad, why do we need a holiday for everything. What's next, National holiday for split ends awareness?

From the usatoday kicking back on national flip flop day.

So I was helping someone at work in the warehouse and squished her foot with a hand truck wheel. It was no big deal but the only thing I could focus on was her wearing flip flops to work. Yeah it's Friday, dress in jeans, but flip flops. You're not a life guard. Plus you're around food.

This is some random photo from the Internet and in no way my feet or anyone else I know.

I didn't even need to read this story to know it's up to no good trying to convince people that flip flops are ok. Yeah, they are, in the shower at the fitness club. My real problem is these type, hell it could be pink flip flops are what I don't like. ha, maybe.

Finally a good point about flip flops that isn't from me. Janeane Garofalo was a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon a few days ago. And she brought up a point about flip flops and mandals "guy sandals" that is way bigger then just saying "wearing them is lazy". When the world turns black and the zombie apocalypse happens - how are you going to get away wearing flip flops? Have you see the movies "Top Ten Zombie Movies". And most recently 28 days later and I am legend. They have brought in a new kind of zombie. A fast moving almost army trained walking dead. I brought up this point to the girl friend who is a big supporter of flip flops and she said that she could out run them. Then I reminded her that bad things happen with zombies and broken glass would be everywhere and what if she lost a flip flop? Her reply was have you seen my feet? I can walk on glass. I'll have to loan her the book Zombie Survival Guide . I am very proud of Janeane Garofalo for her open mind and great vision of the future. What footwear will you be wearing when the zombie apocalypse happens? Flip Flops, I hope not.

It's Easter and I'm sitting in a pancake house lobby waiting to be seated and in walks a family were the son in law, obvious, he was the only thin one. He is wearing a smedium collard shirt, ratty tan cargo shorts and flip flops. I know everyone isn't into following the book, god knows I'm not. ha. But you are going out to eat and that is what you decided to wear. You know when you see something and you feel bad for them. Well, I cried on the inside.

I'm sit here writing this blog with a coworker 4 feet away wearing flip flops who is a sales person who sees customers. I love the fact that today "Friday" is a jeans or a collard shirt day for some but when did wearing flip flops for a sales job become ok. I wish I could tell you they are nice flip flops but they aren't they might of been bought on this rack at fred meyer.

I just don't see flip flops being formal enough for work that is a sales position. And if I worked in food and someone was wearing flip flops in my kitchen to show me product then I don't think I would take what they say seriously.
