I was on the bus one day and a girl flagged the bus down and tried to get on with her rollerblades.
The driver had a fit and yelled her that she couldn't come on with those things on her fit. She tried to argue the point, you know, "I have correct bus fare, you HAVE to let me on, blah blah blah."
He shut the door in her face drove offTotal surrender

Quoth Skandranon View PostActually, now that I think of all the idiots of the world that we complain about on this site... nevermind. But I want some heelies, darnit. I wear women's 11, they don't come that big. *sighs*

Well, just to throw a wrench into all that: I wear Nikes exclusively. I can wear the size 9 womens or size 9 mens pretty much interchangeably. My last pair were womens, but I'm fairly certain my current pair were mens (the best of the lot at a discount shoe place).

Yes!!! *Doing a happy-happy-joy-joy Snoopy dance* Our store has banned them. The sign says anyone caught on them (along with skateboards, bikes?, etc.) will be asked to leave! Of course, now we've actually got to enforce it. Good luck on that one with the parents of these "charming tykes"!It's floating wicker propelled by fire!

I've seen these heelies, and it really pisses me off that the parents seem to act like their kids haven't done anything wrong... one kid I saw nearly knocked over a few people at a local supermarket. Thankfully, the adults won that argument, since it was 3 adults on 1."Oh, you hate your job? There's a club for that. It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet down at the bar." ~Drew Carey

Quoth Andara Bledin View PostI wear Nikes exclusively.
Even more amusingly, I wear men's size 9. I cannot, however, comment on what size in women's I wear, as I have never had any inclination to try on a pair of women's shoes of any sort. But, from what everone tells me, including both my sisters, my mom, and every girl I have ever known, women's sizes are in fact two sizes off from men's. So no idea how you are wearing men's and women's nines without a problem.
By the way, for the politcos out there, yes, I know all about what Nike does as a corporation and as an employer. I am not loyal to the company....just their damn shoes. When someone else learns to make sneakers that I find to be better and more comfy than Nike, then I'll stop buying Nike sweathshop produced products and start buying the products from the sweatshops of said new manufacturer. What...you didn't really think Nike was the ONLY sneaker maker to use such practicies, did you?

I love Heelys.
No, that's not quite right. I love the concept of Heelys. There are lots of places I'd use them. Inside a supermarket is not one of them.
Parents should be teaching what is polite and proper to their kids. Running in stores = BAD. Riding Heelys is running without the flailing limbs and without so much control. That makes it BAD PLUS.
Alas, my huge feet don't fit any known size of Heelys (I wear Men's 11 1/2). Oh well...

Quoth DrugstoreJulie View PostI believe heelies are not yet available in germany yet, at least I havenĀ“t seen them.
But I am really looking forward to mobbing up blood and skull-fragments in the store when they become fashionable herenot a native speaker of the English language, but trying!

As I was driving home from work last night, I drove past Sports Authority and right on their sign it now reads: "WE HAVE HEELYS!!!" Then I saw 3 rolling terrors blazing through Target, forcing people going around corners to stop in their tracks and scold them, much to the little mobile punks' delight, and cursed the inventor of the wheel."You are loved" - Plaidman.
