Immer mehr Krankenhäuser verbieten “Crocs” - also jene modischen, löchrigen Pantoffeln aus Kunststoff, die in unterschiedlichsten Farben erhältlich sind. Das Schuhwerk soll sich gefährlich elektrostatisch aufladen. by news.ORF.at

Verboten!

As a Red Cross person you spend a lot of time in hospitals. Woot, that must have shocked you. And once you get into some sort of routine in life, you start analysing and certain things start bugging you, first slightly (you don’t really know what’s wrong with that person until you discover the happy-cappy plastic “no they don’t smell at all, wanna try?” shoes on their feet) and after some time you eventually start evangelizing for a ban and whose disobey is put into your personal file just like any other felony.

Let's widen the ban to public places. Hands up! Anyone?

I figuratively jumped in joy (and in fact it was heartwarming) when I heard that croc shoes are not anti-static and thus are not to be used in sensitive areas, like ICUs (intensive care units)… I see it on walls: “Croc’s absolutely verboten” whereas the aphostrophe in Croc’s is a typical mistake in hospital sign printing.

Now, can somebody please scientifically proof that other annoying fashion trends are abolished, too.Please? Anyone?

Plus, why not ban crocs in parks and other public places?
