You are a jerk. I had to walk home barefoot. But that's ok, they were only like....TWO DOLLARS. Why would you steal a person's cheap worn in flip flops? Really? Well. I'll just say this. I hope you get a plantars wart. You never know what the person you stole from had wrong with their feet.

er...

What do you suppose the probability of someone stealing $2 flip flops versus you accidentally misplacing them or someone accidentally moving them? Unless I'm really missing something about some backstory that makes it blatantly obvious that they were stolen...

not.

im willing to bet that these "two dollar flip flops" got mistaken for two dollar garbage.  no one steals used flip flops.

The event took place in the locker room. I was going swimming. I placed them underneath the end of the lockers, cause all of the day use lockers were full. I came back, all my other stuff was there; flip flops: missing. I even checked the lost and found. Nothin. I looked up and down and all around. The case of the disappearing flips.

Someone could have taken them by mistake? if not I believe in karma, what goes around comes around.

Really?

Really?  Can you really wish something bad on someone, even if they did something bad to you?  Why not just take the injustice and be done with it?  Even justified hate gets us nowhere.

Well now you're taking this too seriously. That part was more of a joke. Hate? Do you really think I hate this person who stole my flip flops? Not at all. I was merely annoyed for that brief moment of time after the event occurred. Now it's just funny to me. I would never actually invest any time in being angry about this or towards that person, that's a waste of time. And maybe someone didn't actually steal them, that was an assumption. But even so, they're gone and Im off to Old Navy today to get another pair. Notta problem at all. And if someone....say...stole your car. Would you be happy about that? If so, I want some of what you're smokin. Uh oh...dont take offense to that! Joking!

Next time, lock your stuff

Next time, lock your stuff up somehow or take them to the pool with you. Sorry to say but if you leave your stuff laying around, no matter how much faith you have in people, there is a great chance that your stuff will get stolen.

were there a different set

were there a different set of flippies in the place of yours? in my experience it is common mistake to accidently take someone elses if they look the same are in the same place and you are in a hurry. don't jump to conclusions

this guy has a very good point.  perhaps the person who took your flip flops did so mistakenly, because he/she usually wears glasses, and they didn't have them on at the moment.  this reminds me of a time when i went to the swimming pool, and i had my glasses off. of course, i couldn't see very well, but i think i was managing everything okay.  upon entering the shower, i heard somebody say "hey, what the hell are you doing?  get out of here!"

I wonder if this thread has anything to do with your flipflops...

And if so, you should probably save them spot quick.
