Of course I am arent I but I thought it would make you laugh on a humid evening.

Yep,i was on my way into a clients house at 10am when i felt a bit odd.I looked down just as she answered the door to see one black flip flop size 6 and another size 10 with a lime green trim Grin

I of course had to point this out to said client who laughed but probably will demand another sane worker and then also walk around the local asda wearing them to buy another emergency pair.

I need a holiday dont I ?

pmsl how did you not notice.

What job do you do?

ledkr · 29/05/2012 20:52

I am a social worker Grin its very sad. I also have 5 dc's one only a baby and I didnt notice amongst the chaos that is my morning. I rushed to the car then kicked off flops to drive bare footed and then put them on at clients home. I am a numpty.

I once did the same thing. Got to work only to discover I had one navy blue and one black shoe on. I was very vain/shallow/self conscious in those days so made a colleague drive me to the not very near M&S so I could buy a new matching pair. If it happened to me now I'd just laugh. Given your job and 5 dc I'm amazed you get out of the door in the morning at all.

haha,it is indeed a miracle and one of the wonders of the world.

My friend did it too,one black shoe with heel one flat black shoe,she was going for a scan too,so could hardly pop home.

That's ace! I work with social workers and trust me, weirder things have happened in our office! Grin

reastie · 29/05/2012 21:46

, my dad did that a few years ago - he went to work wearing one smart office black shoe and one casual tan shoe. He worked in london so had to get a train and tube like it and didn't realise until my mum rang him to ask why odd shoes had been left Hmm we've joked about it ever since

YABU to have a random size 10 foot

VickityBoo · 29/05/2012 22:14

I'm confused at why you have a pair of 10's and a pair of 6's???

NeedToSleepZZZ · 29/05/2012 22:18

So, who owns the size 10 ones with a lime green trim? please say DH

blizy · 29/05/2012 22:33

YABVU Grin
But why one freakishly big foot?

ledkr · 29/05/2012 22:40

I once went to the loo at work at about 4 pm and as I was pulling my tights up notice I had one brown calf height wedge boot and one brown knee high heeled boot on...
i'd been really busy and hadnt noticed. and no-one had said anything

ooops

NeedToSleepZZZ · 29/05/2012 22:44

Poor poor man, he obviously has a lot of 'thinking' to do maybe about footwear choices he's made in the past Wink

How can you drive bare footed? That can't be safe surely?

takingiteasy · 30/05/2012 08:36

I love driving bare footed!

VickityBoo · 30/05/2012 08:57

Driving barefoot is one of life's simple pleasures Grin
