Crocs - wearers look like escapees from insane asylum

[Idreamofdaleks]

stop kidding yourselves they look funky

they look institutionalised

lol at bunion shoe!

So mad is OK, crazy is OK, insane is not OK

Surely crocs are most similar to the clogs worn by theatre staff in hospitals? If you had been sectioned you'd probably be wearing slippers whilst in hospital. Similar shoes have been sold for years (in green) for keen gardeners to wear instead of wellies. I don't think they are institutionalised.

Well I do say to dp "You are driving me mad" at which point he will then say " no change there then" But he is my partner and we have been to hell and back together. I know that if I felt hurt he would stop it.

I can't think of a reason I would call someone else mad TBH

so mad, crazy and insane should all be censored words

Blimey. I think that is nuts.

I never said I wanted to censor you, I said the exact opposite infact. WhatI did say was that they would be words that I would not use.

Yes, that's it hatrick.

OP, you were mocking crocs, and saying those who wear them look like they have a mental illness.

How can you justify that?

I don't even want to stop you insulting people , well that is not true of course I wish you would as your words are hurtful but if knowing that you wish to conitnue that is your choice.

I am insulting crocs wearers, not folk with illnesses

I think you are all bonkers harping on about depression which has got nothing to do with it

None of us have an issue with you feeling the need to take the piss out of people wearing a shoe, it is the words you choose.

Yes, insulting croc wearers by saying they belong in a mental asylum.

Which means they are "mental"

Are you just being obtuse or can you seriously not see why we're offended?

and yes I have been bonkers to but that doesn't stop me knowing that depression has something to do with being insititutionalised in asylums for the insane.

also, it is manners, when you have offended people, deliberately or not..to apologise, rather than to carry on justifying the words

insane , asylum, institusionalised.... all refer to mental illness ie depression .....

and carrying on saying we are bonkers and nuts doesn;t really help....

sorry all of you can we be friends now

olive branch?

Olive branch accpeted,

and peace reigned once more in mumsnetland

okey doke then
apology accepted\
