Do you ever notice driving on any road or walking down any street there is always 1 Shoe , Boot , Sandle, Sock or Glove

Where is the other one ?

I went out on a bender one night... came home to stay in my mams...

My mam came into me the next day and told me she had found my pink stiletto in the front garden...

The other one was missing.... Had to send the daughter out looking for it... she found it up the road,

It looked like it had been chewed by a dog.

It always makes me think of the start of the "Hound of the Baskervilles" when yer mans boot goes missing...

Must be a lot of people training up dogs to savagely mual people...

Woah, I never thought of that. It's mind-blowing!

This should be moved to Philosophy or something.

They had a fight and broke up... didnt go down well with poor lefty...

So do you pick up the shoe/glove/sock and if you get lucky, hope you find the other one somewhere later?

It's to do with the universe keeping itself in order - ther have to be an equal number of shoes and sock in existance at all times so the shoes are stolen and sent to another dimension where they are re-united with the socks that vanish from the washing machine - I thought everyone knew that.

Interesting. Very Interesting

I went out one night and on the way home my friend through his shoe out the window he was pretty drunk though so I would say 80% of it could be down to being drunk.

Sure you do often see a pair of knickers of boxers on the side of the road and such

Out for a spot of dogging were we?

"I have one shoe
I wish I had two
Where could it be
Did anyone see

Look under your bed my mother said,
I searched my room inside out
Its not in here there is no doubt,

Oh Jolly me what will I do,
I cant go to town with only one shoe."

I made that up when I was quite young...nice piece of poetry.

Have you checked the other foot?
/runs.

mike65 · 17-09-2010 10:59am

Its a good question, as a commerical driver for years I was always spotting the single shoe/boot. Just weird. I guess somewhere there is a massive pile of the other footwear, just beside the mountain of lost Biros.

Tis all those people coming home legless from the pub...

xzanti · 17-09-2010 11:17am

Driving through Ballymore Eustace a few weeks back, two sandals in the middle of the road, side by side, it was as if someone had just walked out of them

They looked like they had belonged to an elderly gentleman..

Its angry drunks coming home from the pub, they take off one shoe Arab style and throw it at a passing taxi that fails to stop!

I remember walking on O'Connell Bridge with a friend from work after a night out. She walked with a limp and for some reason her shoe fell off. As she bent down to get it some random guy walking past picked it up and fecked it into the Liffey.

Haha nice work:D

I've never lost a shoe or any type of footwear on a night out.

You could do a Cinderella thing,and try find the owner of the other shoe i suppose..

I was working in a pub a few years back and at the end of every night, we'd have a rummage through the lost and find bin. You'd always find the usual suspects; IDs, shoes, purses, things like that. One day we discovered a pair of pants. Yes, a pair of pants. Seriously, no matter how drunk you are, you must realise that it's gotten a lot colder than it was earlier.
