The New Isolated Blurt BDSM Thread

[seela]

Are my toes disproportionately long or is the thing between toes in flip flops not supposed to be at the base of the toes, but rather just between toes?

I've tried on about a gazillion pairs of shoes with the toe thing and it always is somewhere half way of my big toe and when I walk, my foot slides forward and the tips my toes fall out of the shoe. Getting a bigger size doesn't seem too make too much of a difference in that, and then I end up having too much space behind my heel.

Am I just wearing the shoes wrong or something?

As it is way too hot here for closed toed shoes, I live in sandals and flip flops all year long! Yes, even in winter. So I just went and tried on about 5 different pairs and walked around in them to check how they fit. The divider sits at the base of my toes, and my heel is just shy of the back end. Maybe you have proportionately ... unique feet?

Also, are your feet very narrow? That can also contribute. Mine are pretty narrow, and I can only wear certain brands. I CANNOT wear Birkenstocks, for instance. My feet just aren't shaped like the majority of the public. I also have very long toes. Coach makes a fabulous sandal/flip flop, they fit like a glove and are super cushy as well.

And where the heck is Endless when we need shoe advice?

Gah. Now I'm angry at J for destroying my sandals. I had no idea they were so unique in their decent fit. He stepped on my heel when we were walking and two straps broke; one snapped in half and one came loose from under the inner sole where it was lodged.

I don't know how my feet are compared to standard ones...I guess they are narrow-ish? I've never really thought about my feet or toes until now, and now I don't like them anymore. Stupid long toes.

Luckily enough it looks like sandal weather's gone for the year, so I don't need to find new ones right now.

Dealing with stupid Lesson One

My business premises share a car park with two other companies, and there are two metal gates at the entrance, which are usually left open during the day for deliveries and visitors.

One of these companies moved in about six months ago - two guys starting a new venture - but they are having problems with competitors who were wandering round to the back of the units taking photos of their work. So, they asked if we could keep the car park gates closed during the day as a deterrent, and I asked my suppliers to tell their drivers not to be put off by the closed gates.

The second company moved in a couple of weeks ago....

On Friday, I got a call from a driver saying that he was trying to deliver but couldn't open the gates because a car had been parked in front of them on the outside. So I went to find the owner of the car, and ended up at company two.

Me: Does anyone know whose car that is parked outside, because I've got a machine waiting for this delivery and he can't get in?
Woman: Yes it's mine. Sorry, but the gates were locked
Me: No, they're not locked during the day, only closed
Woman: But they were locked so I couldn't get my car in so I had to leave it
Me (getting tetchy): Ok, so how did YOU get in then?
Woman: I opened the gate and walked in
Me: So why did you leave your car?
Woman: Because the gates were locked...
Me: (losing the will to live) Well, would you mind opening the gates like you did when you walked in, but drive your car in as well?

Dealing with stupid Lesson Two

We print an educational programme for primary school children and we send order forms out before the end of the summer term. But there are always those teachers who forget to order and then ring up in a panic. One of my staff took one such phone call this week.

Teacher: I want to order the programme please. Am I still in time?
Staff: Yes, you are. How many do you want?
Teacher: I just want to order them.
Staff: Ok but we need to know how many you want.
Teacher: Can't I just order them?
Staff: Yes, you can but you need to decide how many you need, and tell me, so that we send you the right amount.
Teacher: What do you mean?
Staff: Well, this is an educational programme for your class so you need to make sure you order enough for however many children you have.
Teacher: And how do I find that out?
Staff: *sigh* You look at the register and count?

I have to agree with Collar, you probably just don't have average feet. While possible, I doubt your toes are that abnormally long!

Finding flip flops that fit can be problematic. My toes are long, and my feet narrow. I also have high arches, which make things even trickier. Still, my sandal issues run along the lines of Collar's, as in finding a pair whose straps are snug enough to fit my narrow foot, yet not cut so that it crowds my high arch.

You probably just have "special" feet. Meaning it may take some poking around to find a brand whose fit you like. If you really want flip flops, have you tried a high end hiking/climbing/cycling/outdoor store? They usually carry a wide range of style and fit in outdoor shoes. The shoes are a little pricey, but sale shopping can yield great deals.

*poof*

She appears.

And, yup. I can't wear Birkenstocks either. And...I also have two pair of Coach flip flop style sandals that fit beautifully.

I know! And I'm fasting today. Torture! Torture, I say!
Maybe I could just tongue it a little and spit it out

I've heard that all the best ones swallow. Even those who fast, cleanse, and all that.

Fair enough. A little mystery is a good thing. Too much is a dull read.

 

[Endless_Night]

Wait a second. If you're fasting, what were you doing with hot chili in your mouth?

 

[midwestyankee]

Practicing her not swallowing.

 

[Collar_N_Cuffs]

Hunger deterrent.
It works better than brushing your teeth even

Ok, actually I eat 500 calories on a fast day, and thought I was putting a sweet red pepper in my salad. It was, instead, a diabolically camouflaged hot pepper!

 

[Endless_Night]

....Okay. I have to admit. Good one!

Ahh! Thank you for clearing that up. I was a tad confused.

Even for me.

That's part of it. I was shocked at the price. Mister brought me dessert, though.
