Here's another one: my OH sometimes drops ice from the ice dispenser when he is filling his water cup (or his glass to make a cocktail) and doesn't pick it up, so if I am wearing socks and walk into the kitchen awhile later, I step on the melted spot and my sock(s) get wet. If I am not wearing socks, I sometimes slip across the slippery tile and almost biff it. I haven't fallen yet, but with my advancing age, the idea of falling on a hard tile floor is rather alarming. I have spoken to him about it and for some reason it just doesn't sink in, or he doesn't realize he is doing it when it happens (I am not sure how he could not notice that).

All mine are guilty of that, and if they spill their water they leave that nice little slip trip hazard out for you to find later 😠

Yeah, I have taken to wearing my indoor crocs nearly all of the time in the house (especially if I am standing in the kitchen for a long period of time), but occasionally I will forget and walk barefooted. I really shouldn't have to be painfully aware that there might be a tripping hazard. It would be nice if I could get up in the middle of the night to get water while I am in a daze and not nearly slip in that.

I know when I spill ice and kick it under the fridge. The way the condenser fan blows it dries up...

You need to tell him to do what I do when a bit of ice falls on the floor. Kick it under the fridge. Problem solved.
Thank you rascal.

I have one pair that I wear inside the house only, and another pair that I wear if I need to go to the mailbox or somewhere outside around the house (garage, garden, etc.). I do not wear them when I go places. They have an extremely cushioned sole and are very comfortable. I used to cook barefooted and since our kitchen tile is ceramic and very hard, my feet would be aching after an hour. If I wear crocs, they do not hurt (plus I don't slip on water puddles).

I think most of the time he is oblivious that he dropped it.

I swore I’d never be seen dead in Crocs.
Then I tried some. I’m a total convert. In the kitchen or for housework they are a godsend for keeping you on your feet for longer.
Although a pet peeve of mine is when you splash something and it goes through the holes and you have to stop and dry your toes and the inside of the shoe!

They're ugly, flat and fat - and I live in them!! The most comfortable footwear for daily use and (I've got a special pair covered in red chiles) for cooking. For someone with an instep like Margot Fonteyn, they're a godsend.
