The story of a shoe
have you ever walked somewhere and then noticed a random shoe just laying there?
we all know that shoes come in pairs, but abandoned shoes are always alone, separated from its sister or brother depending on whether the shoe is feminine or masculine. its really weird, I always see this in my walking adventures, I seem to notice random suicidal shoes ever where I go and I always wonder what happened to the other shoe and more importantly what happened to the owner?
some of the shoes are old mouldy, dirty, holey shoes that deserve the bin but some of the shoes that I come across (I know I'm sounding like someone who goes out specifically to find these shoes, I don't by the way) look brand new or at least not bin worthy. It really makes me ponder about its history and my imagination can some times get hold of me and I start making life stories up of the owners, but what really puzzles me is the singular aspect of the shoe, does that mean people are walking around with a shoeless foot? or are they wearing different pairs of shoes?
I know I'm looking into this to much but this has been going on for years and I want the mystery solved? One of my friends was saying that its usually a Friday night or sat night thing where people get drunk out of their minds and then stagger home and end up loosing a shoe, that kinda makes sense, but if I was that person (god forbid) the next day I would walk past my lonely shoe, spot it and think hold on a second that's my shoe, I was looking all over the place for it, pick it up and take it to be re-united again, isn't that what anyone would do?
please help me in solving the mystery of the abandoned shoe......

If I lost my shoe, I would go searching high and low for it. (probably 'cos my shoes cost a damn lot of money!?!?!)
I don't like abandoning things, and don't like when things are deserted from me. WHERE IS MY SHOE!!!!!
It is indeed a mystery. Perhaps it is a matter of one legged people suddenly becoming overwhelmed with sadness at having only one shoe and throwing the offending item out of a window in an act of rebellion?
white african,
If you were a responsible community member, you'd take the shoe home, photograph it, put ads in the papers and on the building walls "Found: a SHOE". You never know who is crying for this shoe somewhere out there.
You can even ask for a reasonable reward.
lol lebeeya i never thought of it that way, that alot of one legged people..
godfather i think i saw your show next to the abandoned trolley, let me know if you need directions
now thats an idea leebeya, im so gonna carry my camera with me from now on (rubbing hands gleefuly)
funny that you wrote about shoes, this morning as I was driving to work, on the road there was about 20 pairs of old shoes scattered all over, I could not avoid them and had to drive over most of them! about 200 meters later there was a lot of scattered clothes all over the road, again i had to drive over them, so strange!!
how strange is that anglo? probably some one dropped a suit case from there car or something.
Last night while I was on bed trying to go to sleep, I was trying to think of a logical explanation for this mystery.
Here is what I could come up with:
- maybe some people put their shoes on top of their car much like a drink and forget about it and drive off.
or...
the shoe smelled so bad that one of the people in the car got fed up, riped it off another persons foot and tossed it.
or......
the Police put the shoe there with a spy camera inside.
or......
someone decided to play frisbee with their shoe.... and threw it too far?
looool lebeeyah, pretty good explanations.
maybe its a conspiracy, i know us muslims think everything is a conspiracy so maybe we can say the whole shoe thing is a conspiracy and that random shoes are left around so that we trip over them, fall break our necks either die or get paralysed then thats one less muslim to worry bout, lol.
well i never. you blogged about this amazing thing that always seems to happen when i am around you WA. only once have i seen a shoe on its own by myself and i instantly tho of you...
maybe the shoes revolted, you know like that horror film where the limbs revolted agaist the person?!?
ever what horror film is that? sounds interesting...
