A Poll on Flip-flops

Wearing Flip-flops around in public is not something I really find the appeal of. In fact, unless there was some sort of rule, I'd probably walk around publicly BAREFOOT before I put flip-flops on. I want other people's thoughts. (This is meant for girls, but I guess a boy could answer too...)

Gender?

I have decided that flip-flops are pretty dumb unless you're planning to take them off really soon, or as an "Emergency Shoe" that's easily portable. I don't get why people wear them in public places. (But maybe that's just 'cause I'm a guy) Care to explain why you should?

Hypothetical situation: It's raining really hard, and you've just gotten out of your car and charge down the school sidewalk as fast as you can. You're wearing flip-flops for whatever reason. What would you do regarding them?

29% (19) I'd just leave them on as I enter.
34% (22) I'd make it to the doors, then take them off inside for a while.
35% (23) I'd take them off initially and run to the doors barefoot, then replace them inside.

P.S. Someone at school had the same situation that I mentioned above. She decided that she'd take them off inside.

Pretend that you're at a beach with a couple of friends. You stay there for a while, and then they come back, saying that there's a really cool nature trail nearby and that you should go with them on it. You could easily slip a shirt and pants on over your swim clothes, but you don't have any extra shoes other than the flip-flops beside you. What would you do?

3% (2) I would just turn down the idea. I wouldn't like to hike.
6% (4) I'd postpone the event until tomorrow, when I could get some hiking shoes.
31% (20) Get right up and go on the nature trail wearing my flip-flops.
54% (35) I would go and remove my flip-flops for the trip. I'd just hike without shoes.
4% (3) I'd go, but first I'd ask if my friend would lend me his/her shoes.
