what's the most unglamorous moment of your life so far?!

[Spinneret]

Having pants that kept falling down in public

 

[DLgal]

Having a baby in a hospital. You have to let go of ALL modesty.

 

[Mysterian]

On a dare, trying on Crocs.

And you realized what you have been missing all this time?

You mean like, the masochistic pleasure of tackiness? It had escaped me!

Tackiness is underrated. I love my crocs for walking around in my hard tiled house. My feet don't love them for long distances, but I would have no problem wearing them out. My kids have worn them nearly exclusively for their whole lives. They are finally fashionable. They are very popular around here...

My feet would be dripping with sweat being half covered in non-breathing insulating foamed plastic.

Crocs are full of holes. What are you talking about? That's part of the appeal.

My boys wear them with socks because their feet get too cold otherwise.

That is so true. I had to have an emergency c-section and after they got my daughter out, somehow the drape dropped and my husband saw everything in its full glory.

California is a mixed bag. Trends come and go. I'm sure some mullet-headed Juggalo in San Bernardino with six Monster energy drink tattoos would consider Crocs, the sandals made from Circus Peanuts, "fashionable". You can probably ask him alllll about the nuances of fashion, as he's probably at home this moment, decorating his meth lab with empty Pabst cans.

Omg, Crocs. Ugliest shoes ever made.

I totally agree, *however* my sister pretty much made me buy a pair for our last trip, and my feet felt great in that while yes the feet themselves hurt from walking, I didn't get a single blister the entire time I wore them, a WDW first.

Uh, I should mention though that my sister also wore Crocs, and had more trouble with them than I did. After she got home, a couple of weeks later one of her toenails fell off.

You know, I get the Cali lifestyle is compatible with Crocs...

...but Crocs with socks... I think your boys better be on the look out for thefashion police!

This was my first thought when I read the thread title. My first daughter was born later on a Friday. There were a ton of people in the room towards the end. I was panicking thinking they had discovered something was wrong with the baby and they called in a bunch of specialists, only to be reassured by the nurse, “no, it’s just quiet here tonight and you’re the only show in town” . I am super modest and very private—the pain got me over that pretty quick.

Toss up between having a c-section and almost barfing on the table when they gave me a spinal tap, or bicycling poop out of my constipated infant.

Childbirth was the first thing that came to mind. There is nothing like lying flat on your back, naked, with your knees pinned back to your ears, pushing, pushing, then wondering "What's that smell... with people- total strangers- coming in and out of the room. Yeah. Good times.

In defense of crocs, they are all that I can wear. I have weirdly proportioned feet and a flat arch in my right foot. "Normal" shoes throw my ankles out of alignment with my knees, which causes cramps in my calves and thigh muscles, and pulls my back out of alignment, causing sciatica. Thanks but no thanks, I'll remain fashion-ignorant but pain-free in my crocs (LOVE my new pair, fuzz lined for harsh New England winters, but sparkly gold on the outside!)

Slides with socks has been fashionable since *I* was in HS in CA. It still very much is.

San Bernardino isn't my California. They want to break off into their own state. I say, let them.

Different world over there.
