New Yorker Thinks Wearing Flip Flops Is Disgusting 🫡Agree or Disagree?
Summary
A straphanger declares that wearing flip-flops in a metropolitan area makes you "a disgusting person who wants to get a toe infection." The logic? New York City streets are covered in at least "20 different types of strains of fecal matter," from dog piss to human vomit. Kareem agrees with the sentiment but admits he appreciates the occasional glimpse of feet. The conversation takes a turn when the rider argues hands are basically exposed too, but insists gloves aren't practical. Kareem fires back: "hands are just feet on your head." It's a heated debate about urban hygiene standards, complete with contradictory reasoning and zero resolution.

So what's your take? I don't think that people should wear flip-flops, specifically unless they're next to a body of water. I think if you wear flip-flops in a metropolitan area—uh, New York City especially, but like London, Paris—you're a disgusting person who wants to get a toe infection.
I 100% agree. Okay, except for that, I feel like it's a good opportunity to get a little glimpse of feet, which... all right, that means yes. So why does this bother you?
You know, on any given day, there's like 20 different types of, like, strains of fecal matter that are, like, in the city. You got dog dog piss, you got human feces, you got—you got human piss, you got vomit, and you're like, "I think this is a safe place for my feet." Open, I mean our hands are out, so— Different. No, buy this. You can buried feet to do. No, no, yeah.
By this logic, our hands are out. You think everyone should wear gloves? Hell no, that's not practical. It's the same thing. Now you're just being contrarian.
No, hands are just feet on your head.
