croc off

I was walking up Queen street today for lunch when I saw something both disturbing and amusing, all at the same time. The disturbing thing was came across a pair of grey crocs lying on the footpath, now that's gotta scare anyone. If you don't know what crocs are, just go into Bike360 and check out Meechy's footwear. This blog wont stoop as low as describing the aforementioned footware in detail.

Anyway...so they would have been about size 9 or 10 and they were sitting underneath a rubbish bin, looking as they had been discarded in a prompt fashion. There were some bums sitting at the shop entrance no more than 5 meters from the shoes so I figured they belong to this un kept group...it appeared that even the homeless didn't want to be seen with them, and they would collect them when they were ready to move on.

But here comes the funny bit. After an hour at lunch, on the walk back to work the crocs were still there...but the bums had moved on! I had a closer look out the corner of my eye and they looked like they were in pretty good nick. Credit must go to whoever decided they just looked like a dick with them on so ditched them and decided to go barefoot the rest of the day.
