And now that I’ve gotten all that off my chest - here’s my confession. I’m starting to become a bit of a road rager because of all this stupidity. To the point that I’ve caught myself weaving in and out more aggressively because these people all exasperate me. Luckily my wife has been able to point it out to me as it’s happening, and get me to calm down so far

You know what we can't seem to figure out in the states?

Fucking round-a-bouts. How fucking difficult is this, people?!

100% correct, here in the U.S. people have no clue! I have driven thousands of miles overseas and love the roundabouts. Beats the heck out of sitting at traffic lights. Only one roundabout ever intimidated me. A 6 lane roundabout with 6 or 7 exits in the center of Bucharest at rush hour. That one was nuts!

Wilder is the people that walk through that. The cars don't slow down, they just expertly avoid human pedestrians lol.

But meanwhile, back in the US, one lane roundabout and not the pedestrian or the cars know when to go.

I don't understand this style. Who wears dress shoes like these? I was out shopping around the other day and saw this and wondered who would want to walk around with camel toe dress shoes. They were on "sale" for $579.99 normally $1,260.

Okay, my first thought was dress shoes for ninjas? Then I googled it. They are called Tabi shoes. Many styles for men and women, even in stilettos. Go figure.

And it gets worse.......

Heycmyx6go , would you rock these?

What in the fuck? They look like a lobster claw. How does that even fit a foot?

Uhhh, no! I’d rock $1,000 Red soled Loubie stilettos, but not those!

More like these then?

Balenciaga must be rofl’ing in their piles of money. Their whole business plan is to see just how stupid looking and how expensive their fashunz need to be before people stop buying. They’ve been trying for years but have still not found the limit yet

It really is a reflection of our society. Outlandish designs that probably won't age well, yet people are dropping massive $$ on them whether they have the money or not.

Personally I prefer something timeless. Common Projects or plain white Gucci sneakers are more up my alley. Expensive, yes, but if taken care of they will stand the test of time and can be worn for years if not decades.

You mean, I'd be taking her to get some red bottoms? Yes.

Spot on, i don't even think that most people who buy it, actually like it. They're just like: "look what i can afford". It started with Social Media i guess: show everone how well you are doing and what a fun life you have.

Pretty much, except black leather, not patent leather. Here are mine.

The Louboutins you posted are $2500! I guess due to the red satin insides and weird looking textured soles and underside of heels. I think mine were for peons. They only cost $700 or something They do offer some bizarre looking shoes, to each their own I guess.

And it seems you are supposed to have the soles coated before you wear them so the red doesn't scrape off. Nope, didn't know that.

My wife appreciates nice designer shoes too, but $2500? Not unless they were on the 80% off rack. 🤣

Had you ever went to Manolo Blahniks' shop into NY? Its quite small that you'll really miss it if your dont look close enough. There are no price tags at the displayed shoes and for some reason I A$$ume.
You may have to ask Miss Bradshaw for some quotes, but they must be insane and above of said Louboutins.

They are both kind of relative price wise. Basics are in the $700s and over the tops are over the top. I do think that Manolo offers "nicer" looking shoes where some of the Louboutins are outrageous designs.
