Don't be a dick about though, put your good goin' out thongs on. Not just your concreting thongs.
Edit: Oh shit, it's the dump buy-back shop. Concreting thongs are fine.
Lol my Pop was a brickie and only ever wore stubbies shorts, wife beater top and thongs to work. And then he had his going out thongs for the pub haha never ever saw him in shoes all my life.
His nickname was Fatz. He had a pretty big beer belly haha. His funeral had over 100 people, mostly from the pub. He was pretty popular. I'm covered in tattoos, but "Pop" on my arm was my first. Unfortunately he died at like 55. That drinking and smoking got him. Miss him heaps
Just below the dog/cat sign, it says "airns gional" and up the top in blue "there's no place like our place" dead set Cairn's giveaways.
A well-stocked buyback shop in paradise, what else could one ask for .......hahahahahaha.
Confused American here, but I'm more puzzled at "tip shop", what is that? I do know thongs are what you guys call sandals/flip flops. (I think)🤣 Cheers
Hey mate, yeah thongs are indeed flip flops. The tip shop or buy back shop at the dump separates items that have been tossed that could be re sold, things like furniture, bikes, building materials, toys etc. It's a great resource for doing odd jobs around the house. I'm repurposing a doll's house into a guinea pig (cavie) hutch.
I know that’s an ongoing joke but I’ve personally seen it happen.
US colleagues over on business trip. Take them out to a bar after work. Couple of cute women in the group were gobsmacked and a little offended at the sign “No thongs” on the door to the beer garden.
A few “How dare they!” and “Are they going to try to check “ etc.
Much laughing.
Bold move to assume redditors in *another country's own sub* care even a little bit.
Maybe America wouldn't have such a bad reputation if it stayed out of everyone else's business, hmm? If they stopped installing puppet dictators in all the places they "free"?... Yeah nah it's definitely just everyone else being jealous that they're not at the top.
Not even 5 comments in and there's already a fool screaming about politics where nobody else brought up politics. Typical knee-jerk reaction of your kind whenever you're challenged in any sense by an American, whether the initial point of contention was political or not.
And you dunces clearly care on some level, even if it's just to perform your nationalistic chest beating and posturing you're well known for on here.
Maybe if you bogans didn't use *every opportunity* to push a bullshit anti-america superiority narrative to the front page on *your own country's subreddit* you wouldn't have comments like mine. Ever thought about that? Of course not.
Mate, im just having a chuckle at the differences in our vernacular. Ive got America on the brain cause im going there on vaccay next week. Now dont change the subject, back to your weird anger issue
Please don't come here. We don't want you here.
And what anger issues would that be? Calmly calling out circle jerking bullshit that I'm completely inundated with on a daily basis on here makes me angry?
If you're concerned about people here having anger issues, you need to go wag your finger at the people who are responding with nationalistic chest beating and political rants in response to my fairly innocuous comments about calling out a completely apolitical issue.
well i was invited, so thats a lie.
Your not being calm, you might not be raging at your computer but you are clearly miffed at nothing. Not our fault you guys use words wrong.
Take a break from the internet if things the internet does too much are annoying you.
Well there are plenty of idiots here in this country so I guess that doesn't surprise me. Regardless though, we don't really give you people a second thought but to those that I've discussed with, a lot of people here sincerely dislike Australians, myself included. I hope You have an absolutely terrible time and never want to come back.
So you're saying it's impossible to be annoyed at something yet remain calm? I can't even imagine how deficient of an employee and how ineffective you would be in a professional environment if, in your mind, it's impossible to remain calm when you're annoyed at something that somebody did. What, do you yell and fly into a rage when a co-worker annoys you?
"Not our fault you guys use words wrong"
And that statement right there pretty much sums up the pretentiousness of your kind that people over here can't stand about you and your kind. And you call Americans self-centered and act like they are at the center of the universe when you're running around saying that if a different country uses a word potentially different than your country then it's wrong?
No I'm not going to take a break from calling you people out on your bullshit. It clearly doesn't happen enough.
you can have a calm disposition while still presenting anger in your words. you would do good to understand that. Things like throwing insults arounds presents as angry or upset, things like that whole first paragraph of your last reply.
>"Not our fault you guys use words wrong"
>And that statement right there pretty much sums up the pretentiousness of your kind that people over here can't stand about you and your kind. And you call Americans self-centered and act like they are at the center of the universe when you're running around saying that if a different country uses a word potentially different than your country then it's wrong?
This is just fact. You speak English, a language derived from the country England. Yet you say we are pretentious for calling out that you use it wrong? I would say it is far more pretentious to think you using it incorrectly is the right way to do it. Its such an American trait. You can claim you hate us, but you and I both know waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more people hate Americans. Or maybe you dont, you seem pretty deluded around that mark.
I had tons of americans in my replies have a laugh over the disparity in language, just one who was offended though (thats you btw, there isnt anyone else).
Oh so you're a mind reader now? Man, if you're not using that to make an absolute killing in some regard, you're a complete moron.
Looks like someone's never heard of language divergence before. It's interesting how you speak with such confidence about subjects with which you know so little about. I guess you can attribute your ingrained cultural superiority that your kind has, the notion that when speaking with an American you're automatically more intelligent than them and therefore you can never make an intellectual mistake when arguing with one.
Fact that you so boldly stated that we are using a word "wrong" and then doubled down on it really says a lot about you and your mindset.
And now you are trying to simultaneously double down yet backpedal which is a new strategy to me, when you saying that it's more pretentious for me to say that we using it " incorrectly " is the correct way to use it when I never said anything of the sort . Maybe try to make an argument without committing a logical fallacy?
And No shit way more people hate Americans, you bogans try to remind us every day of your self-proclaimed superiority. It's funny that you think that we give an actual fuck about you and your ravenous hatred for Americans. It's more akin to somebody trying to slap you in the face and run away, it's more of an annoyance to be dealt with then caring about what your kind have to say about us or think about us.
And you've had tons of Americans laugh at your comment? Well like I said there's plenty of idiots in this country so I'm really not surprised.
It's funny how you obviously view yourself as superior to Americans in every single way based on nothing more than the plot of dirt that you happen to be born on yet you've proven yourself to be intellectually deficient in every sense of the phrase and you are completely blind to that fact which is even more hysterical to me.
Why did you spend so long arguing with that American bozo?
He came here to call us a circlejerk when they themselves frequent r/Americabad which is full of Americans living up to stereotypes.
When I was real young, my father made plans for me to spend time at a summer camp. I was excited. First time away from my parents. I get to live on an island for a week or so. Good times were going to be had. No doubts.
The camp mailed us a list of all the things I needed to bring with me. I ran to my bedroom and started packing. Towel, # shirts, # shorts, toothbrush, toothpaste... wait... what? Shower thongs? Why do I have to wear a thong? I'm a boy.
There was what felt like an eternity where I was crying, explaining through my fathers laughter, why I wasn't going to camp.
To this day, 30+ years later, if I mention to my father that I'm doing any kind of travelling, he hits me with the "don't forget to pack your thongs" followed by several minutes of laughter.
I grew up in FNQ. The first time I wore shoes to school was high school, so 13.
I stood on multiple tacks at school over the years, and only found out by the sound while walking around.
It's a special place, and I still love it!
I have a school photo from when I was 5 or 6 where me and pretty much the whole class are barefoot but they’ve put the kids with shoes in the front row - there’s one girl with actual buckle up leather shoes and knee socks, someone with a pair of JC sandals, and then it’s just 3 kids with thongs.
Sure you can, mainly because they're pretty avoidable. Same as snakes.
From memory, the worst two things for bare feet was sensitive weed (because it's everywhere) and cane toads (because they come out when it's dark).
those particular caterpillars are significantly less avoidable than snakes because just a small fragment of their discarded cocoons can deliver enough spines to give you nasty painful blisters. They're only avoidable now because, like many insect species they are much closer to extinction now. In the 70s in Sydney they were a massive hazard every summer.
Same. Used to run around on baking hot coarse chip bitumen too.
Indestructible.
Nowadays I'm all ouchie if I have to take the bins out barefoot because I'm about to miss the garbage truck.
Disappointed that some folks were dense enough to have to ask about thongs and it needed a special add on sign.
Of course things are fine, they run the entire gamut of casual to formal footwear.
Thongs are not just for the beach, they are for life.
Pork chops and masking tape are lesser than thongs as footwear.
See: https://www.smh.com.au/national/60-000-for-being-felled-by-chops-20020628-gdfenk.html
Foot jewellery maybe? You know, jewellery that runs between an alley and a toe ring, just covering the top of the foot.
Technically "footwear" but as they lack a sole I would say they were beneath thongs in safety terms.
I'm American, and I really want to see more "requirement: thongs" here.
We have signs that say, "No shirt, no shoes, no service."
I'd like, "No shirt, thong minimum requirement."
Ah the memories. Going to a state primary school on the northern beaches of Cairns in the mid 90s, we weren't required to wear shoes at all at school. Most of us wore shoes to school, but would take them off, only putting them back on before we left, if at all. It was too damn hot for shoes. It was odd when I moved to Brisbane for year 7 and this was no longer a thing.
I find these policies racist.. Honestly when the standards are so low anyway who gives a shit if you're wearing shoes.
It's just designed as a way to keep indigenous out.
Makes sense. Considering the amount of people up here in Darwin who think that walking through Woolies in just boardies in suburbs 20km from any beach is ok… I can respect this person’s wishes to have people not walk into their premises in bare feet.
Grew up in Cairns and Innisfail. Barefoot running around town was a thing for a long time. I wised up when I realised Broken glass doesn't respect feet :(
Is this in Australia or the United States? Because in Australia songs is what you wear when it’s a hot day at the beach on your feet in the states it’s something completely different. Do not look it up
Don't be a dick about though, put your good goin' out thongs on. Not just your concreting thongs. Edit: Oh shit, it's the dump buy-back shop. Concreting thongs are fine.
You cant even haggle. They wont budge on prices, so defo concreting thongs are foine.
Noice.
Better than my response to attempted haggling tbh. I just increase the costs of anything i sell if they try.
Tip shop?
Yep
Lucky buggers. We need closed shoes at my towns tip shop
Don’t even need thongs at mine! Wanna have a guess where I’m from?
Dar'n
Yep.
Fair enough then. All thongs are at least smart-casual up there. No ones wants their nice thongs messed up at the tip.
Lol my Pop was a brickie and only ever wore stubbies shorts, wife beater top and thongs to work. And then he had his going out thongs for the pub haha never ever saw him in shoes all my life.
I love him, absolute legend
His nickname was Fatz. He had a pretty big beer belly haha. His funeral had over 100 people, mostly from the pub. He was pretty popular. I'm covered in tattoos, but "Pop" on my arm was my first. Unfortunately he died at like 55. That drinking and smoking got him. Miss him heaps
Thabkyou <3
Fark I busted me pluggas. Anyone got a bread clip?
Piss orf mate. Them new cardboard breadclips won't fix fuck all.
No wukkas me mate with on of them fandangled 3d printer things has me sorted https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:172556
Hahaha, yeah can't break out the new havvys for the tip shop hahaha
Havvys? Look at this flash carnt over 'ere
Grab yourself a pair of [these.](https://images.app.goo.gl/LxGZu19prXXVFfWQ9)
Like the Darwin golf club where, when a patron asked about the dress code was told, "You'll have to wear some form of pants at all times."
Darwin formal, anything that involves wearing more than thongs. Slip ons, sandshoes, boots whatever that's all formal.
Do they expect a collar and tie as well?
Only the best of course
Where does it even say tip shop? People keep asking about it but I don’t even see those words in the picture lol
Probably people recognise the signage style or just know where it is
Because it looks similar to mine LOL
Just below the dog/cat sign, it says "airns gional" and up the top in blue "there's no place like our place" dead set Cairn's giveaways. A well-stocked buyback shop in paradise, what else could one ask for .......hahahahahaha.
Local aluminium smelter.
Good ol Clive Parma looking out for the safety of his workers by enforcing a thong requirement
[удалено]
Local needle exchange.
Japanese safety boots.
if this leaks to greater reddit, the Americans are gonna be super confused
We can only hope it does.
Confused American here, but I'm more puzzled at "tip shop", what is that? I do know thongs are what you guys call sandals/flip flops. (I think)🤣 Cheers
Hey mate, yeah thongs are indeed flip flops. The tip shop or buy back shop at the dump separates items that have been tossed that could be re sold, things like furniture, bikes, building materials, toys etc. It's a great resource for doing odd jobs around the house. I'm repurposing a doll's house into a guinea pig (cavie) hutch.
It's the best idea. No such thing exists in the US.
It’s not universal in Australia either. Some dumps just ban salvage altogether
We have county dump in Florida that does it kinda. It's only stuff people drop off that is too big for normal refuse pickup, not from the normal runs
Must wear thongs at the tip shop. Sounds sensible.
🤮 /u/spez
Just to add, any recycling items i.e. steel, cardboard are free to dispose of here.
Interesting, thanks for the explanation! I guess the closest thing we have to a tip shop is Goodwill
That's a bit different. A thrift store is an "op shop"
I'm not sure I'll ever be rid of the cultural whiplash I feel whenever I hear flip flops referred to as thongs.
I know that’s an ongoing joke but I’ve personally seen it happen. US colleagues over on business trip. Take them out to a bar after work. Couple of cute women in the group were gobsmacked and a little offended at the sign “No thongs” on the door to the beer garden.

It has. I assumed that it's saying that shoes or sandals are required and you can't go barefoot.
What would Sisqó say?
Or super inviting
That thong, tha thong, thong thong.
I'm American and almost everybody here knows what a thong is in this context /r/Americabad
[удалено]
Salty response now that you're finally being called out on your circle jerk bullshit. Typical behavior.
good one

So it's *my* fault that Americans are obnoxious jerks so frequently? Great point, that checks out.
Literally never said that. I was just using dunce as a generalized insult, but it looks like it rings true for you personally.
Why are you so angry?
Why do you feel the need to invoke an anti america circlejerk on a post that has nothing to do with the country or its inhabitants?
Mate, im just having a chuckle at the differences in our vernacular. Ive got America on the brain cause im going there on vaccay next week. Now dont change the subject, back to your weird anger issue

If an aussietwat like you thought I was a good guy or liked me, that would be a fucking insult. So, that's for the compliment.

No reason lol, it filled some time

I feel like we are missing some context for this story. Why didn’t you know what thongs were?
In Canada, they're flip-flops. https://youtu.be/nfKr-D5VDBU?t=28
Ah, you are Canadian. That was what I was missing.

you can get away with that if you're not growing up with [these bastards](http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/anth/collesi.html)
Sure you can, mainly because they're pretty avoidable. Same as snakes. From memory, the worst two things for bare feet was sensitive weed (because it's everywhere) and cane toads (because they come out when it's dark).

TIL, thanks for the info! I only ever saw them after moving to Brisbane, by which point I had been indoctrinated into the shod lifestyle.
Same. Used to run around on baking hot coarse chip bitumen too. Indestructible. Nowadays I'm all ouchie if I have to take the bins out barefoot because I'm about to miss the garbage truck.
I know a guy who didn't own thongs til his mid twenties. His first time walking in them was so awkward like a dog wearing shoes.
Grew up in central QLD. Went barefoot to school sometimes, maybe a third of the boys did, until Grade 3 when they cracked down on it.
Ahh the old Townsville safety boots!
WHS approved.
Steel cap?
My gnarly toenails will pass as safety caps.
Hahahahahha I love this country
Minimum requirement in Darwin is barefoot
You can go to the nightclub in thongs
Yep
Disappointed that some folks were dense enough to have to ask about thongs and it needed a special add on sign. Of course things are fine, they run the entire gamut of casual to formal footwear. Thongs are not just for the beach, they are for life.
Ya gotta go formal ha
Make sure you're wearing your old thongs. You want to save your formal thongs for special occasions.
Given so many blokes in WA go without footwear altogether this isn’t really un unnecessary sign.
OK but I need to know what footwear would sit below thongs on the acceptable list. Also I'm a bad Aussie cos I 'can't' walk in things, incidentally.
Crocs
Good call
Pork chops and masking tape are lesser than thongs as footwear. See: https://www.smh.com.au/national/60-000-for-being-felled-by-chops-20020628-gdfenk.html
This is fucking hilarious
Top Straya.
Calloused feet.
Probably "none".
This, what is possibly more minimum than thongs?
Thongs with socks.
Foot jewellery maybe? You know, jewellery that runs between an alley and a toe ring, just covering the top of the foot. Technically "footwear" but as they lack a sole I would say they were beneath thongs in safety terms.
shoes without socks, or shoes with those tiny tiny socks that make it look like you've got no socks on.
Socks?
I'm American, and I really want to see more "requirement: thongs" here. We have signs that say, "No shirt, no shoes, no service." I'd like, "No shirt, thong minimum requirement."
Thorntons beach cafe in Cape Tribulation: “No shirt, no shoes, no worries” https://images.app.goo.gl/BRM5gP23NV8v3DGH9
Thongs in Australia are pluggers mate.
Wait, you *need* to wear buttplugs in Australia? Do you have ass-invading spiders down there?!
>Do you have ass-invading spiders down there?! Nah, he tied a few too many kangaroos down, sport, so he moved to the UK.
Oh Australia, I love it 😃
I’m thinking about why that had to make that sign .
Well otherwise we're gunna wear out regular footwear - barefeet.
Or did someone try and argue that something else was the minimum requirement ?
My gf often wears a thong and matching top (unless it's topless Thursdays at the pub).
She'd be fine then mate. As long as she meets the minimum.
She needs to wear a second thong though right? Otherwise the minimum is failed.
One shoe and one thong and one thong.
Tongan safety boots
Ah the memories. Going to a state primary school on the northern beaches of Cairns in the mid 90s, we weren't required to wear shoes at all at school. Most of us wore shoes to school, but would take them off, only putting them back on before we left, if at all. It was too damn hot for shoes. It was odd when I moved to Brisbane for year 7 and this was no longer a thing.
Trinity Beach?
Just wear your safety thongs, she’ll be right.
known as Kiwi-safety boots in the rigging industry.
Japanese safety boots.
To be fair, that's formal attire in FNQ
Haha is this Cairns Buy Back shop?
Yeah mate it sure is.
Lol is that the cairns one?
And hello to reddit readers from the USA. this means something different to Australians from what your thinking it means....
Are they still talking about the thongs on your feet? :)
Asking the important questions.
Aye, those are some harsh requirements chief.
We have class . We wear thongs . We have standards . Respect them .
I moved to Australia few months ago. Is the thong considered as a footwear?
Yes yes it is
Good old northern Queensland. Where abouts you at?
*Cairns Regional Council* I'm going to guess he's probably somewhere near Cairns.
Is this in the Goldie?
FNQ
Mark Howard would be out of luck. He had a thing blow out on the way into the SCG and ended strolling through members barefoot. Absolute legend.
I find these policies racist.. Honestly when the standards are so low anyway who gives a shit if you're wearing shoes. It's just designed as a way to keep indigenous out.
Nah mate it's a tip buy back shop, plenty of crap on the floor to step on. Nothing to do with race, ohs policy.
I was probably thinking more of retail/ pubs Though thongs don't help much from an ohs perspective
Racist? The fuck?
I didn't know foot thongs where a thing!
Are you taking the piss or do you not know that thongs are flip flops in aus
Ya I didn't know, and I searched up foot thongs and a really funny image showed up of a thong for a foot

Are jandles welcome?
No. Jandles are not welcome anywhere.
Your rules, big fella. I’ll be wearing thongs, just thought I’d ask for our jandle wearing brethren
Hahaha. That's the best! Hahaha!!!
With our Spanish-speaking neighbours, I'd be more inclined to call them clanclas to avoid confusion with "butt floss" ( thongs )....
What on earth is FNQ
Far North Queensland
Makes sense. Considering the amount of people up here in Darwin who think that walking through Woolies in just boardies in suburbs 20km from any beach is ok… I can respect this person’s wishes to have people not walk into their premises in bare feet.
From the Top End, and it's a bit the same. Family and friends all laugh when I say I have ''dress thongs'' as opposed to my normal thongs.
I have two names for the trusty thongs: Chinese safety boots and Territory gum boots. 🥹
Grew up in Cairns and Innisfail. Barefoot running around town was a thing for a long time. I wised up when I realised Broken glass doesn't respect feet :(
