So, my dad has the biggest problem with thongs (flip flops/havianas/whatever) and preaches to me the dangers of wearing them and how I might step on something, how they make me look like a derro yadda yadda.
I wear them pretty much all the time and am really tired of hearing about how daggy I look because I'm wearing brown/black/pink/white thongs.

Does anyone else have this problem?
Yes, so many people wear it nowadays. It's everywhere, even when people go shopping. Unless it's to the beach or your mate's places or somewhere casual, there is no bloody reason to wear thongs. It's like a bloody new trend or something. In reality, it makes you look like a cheap cunt who can't afford real shoes.

In many cases its more comfortable to wear thongs. On hot days, thongs allow your feet to stay cool hence regulating your body temp. With consideration to clothing, thongs can be very fashionable to wear, but not in winter.

Do your parents realise that something like 75% of people in the lecture theatre with you would also be wearing thongs?

Maybe for you. However, because of the labs and such alot of people wear shoes in my program.

We have labs too. But we take enclosed shoes to change into, and they come off and the thongs go back on as soon as we're finished.

I was thinking of buying some of those shoe glove things, the ones you have to wear when you go into nuclear places. I wonder If I could get away with them.

I wear (black leather) thongs to work and no-one's said a thing. They're all spiffed up in their pretentious corporate clothes and I meander in wearing boho skirts and thongs.

I think they just accept that I am a psycho hippy who sits at reception and answers their phones. *shrugs*
