The slipper quandry
"Bring some slippers," the hospital told me, ahead of my nose operation this coming Friday.
I don't think I've had slippers since I was a kid. And even though I'm getting old, I still think I'm far too young to be doing the slipper thing. But what else am I going to wear on Friday as I slip into that humiliating hospital gown?
So I trudged off to the shops, popping my head into various shoe shops staffed by model-like girls. How can I go in there and buy some slippers? What are they going to think? If for a moment they fancy me, that's going to completely disappear when they're looking for a size 10 slipper. I mean, slippers are hardly cool, are they? And if they think I'm a twat as soon as I walk into their shop, they're going to think even less of me when I ask to try on a dark brown fuzzy open back house slipper with soft non-skid bottoms.
I could do without these kind of problems.

Disappointed, I don't think anyone will give a darn about you buying the slippers or flip flops.
But if you feel that strongly about it you can always purchase totes toasties.

online shopping was made for this kind of dilemma
Be professional about this. Don't just buy one pair of slippers. Oh no, that would be far too easy. Buy seventeen pairs, and turn up with them all strung around you, mentioning proudly that you were asked to "bring slippers".
