Here is a little safety tip for you. Although flip flops, slides or Crocs may feel more comfortable on your feet when you are flying, they are not recommended as they pose risks on a flight, particularly if passengers need to quickly evacuate the aircraft. High heels are also not recommended as they are harder to walk in and if evacuation slides are needed, they can easily puncture the slides. Additionally, it is not a good idea to wear sandals on a flight, because they are not hygienic when you're using the airplane lavatories as liquid can splash on your feet.

“So, this was not a good thing?”
“Unexpectedly, I began to feel dizzy. It seemed that I had lost my sight, and could no longer see anything clearly. It was so bad.”
Suddenly, the phone rang, and the wife ran to pick up the phone.
“Yes, hallo, Mr. Bishop... yes…yes… yes.”
Then, the wife turned to the husband.
“Honey, the director just called! He asked if you had taken his glasses by mistake.”
