It’s hard to write this post, it stirs my stomach. But for the sake of you all, I will share. Circa a few summers ago, this guy I was dating came to stay with me for a weekend in DC. He arrived, suitcase in hand, very exciting. Very exciting that is until I realized he had arrived having packed only his smelly, disgusting running shoes and orange Crocs. This was no accident. He intentionally packed running shoes for running and orange Crocs for everything else. Now, I could go on and tell you all the great details about this person, and how great he was on paper but it’s not worth it. Because certain behaviors cancel out the positive.
I didn’t want to embarass him, so I said nothing. But I was in disbelief. And soon, yours truly re-declared herself proudly Single For a Reason.
It just goes to show, sometimes in life you can’t see a guy’s true colors until he unpacks his suitcase.
Crocs? Seriously??
