I was in the changing room after my swim. There was an older lady beside me and we exchanged the usual pleasantries. I went up to the mirror to dry my hair and she went off to the loo.
When she came back, she switched on the full Karen mode.
"Where are my flip flops! I left them here," pointing to the floor in front of where we had been sitting.
I looked around helpfully and replied "Sorry I didn't see them."
"Well they were here when I left and now they're gone. Has anyone come in or out of the dressing room in the past two minutes?!
I responded no, and then realised that meant I was the only other person in the dressing room.
She looked at me and said
"They were special orthopedic flip flops that my son in America sent me. I am going to bring in the manager to search the area" while looking accusingly at my locker.
I took a closer look at her and said
"What are those things on your feet?"
She glanced down and let an embarrassed chuckle.
"Oh silly me, I was wearing them the whole time".
I let it go and said no more. I mean, I hope that when I'm old(er) and doddery, people will give me some leeway :)
